.. contents:: List of Releases
19
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
20
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
23
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
24
(Martin Pool, #391411)
29
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
30
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
31
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
33
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
34
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
35
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
36
(Martin Pool, #123688)
38
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
39
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
40
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
41
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
43
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
44
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
46
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
47
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
48
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
49
(Robert Collins, #282402)
51
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
52
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
54
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
55
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
57
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
58
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
59
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
60
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
61
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
63
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
64
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
65
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
67
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
68
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
69
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
70
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
71
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
73
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
74
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
76
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
77
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
78
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
80
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
81
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
82
(Martin Pool, #408201)
84
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
85
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
86
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
88
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
89
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
91
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
92
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
94
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
95
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
97
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
98
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
99
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
101
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
102
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
103
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
105
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
106
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
108
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
109
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
110
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
111
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
112
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
113
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
115
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
116
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
117
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
119
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
120
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
121
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
122
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
124
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
125
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
126
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
127
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
128
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
130
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
131
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
132
(Robert Collins, #187207)
137
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
140
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
141
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
142
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
143
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
145
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
146
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
153
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
158
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
159
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
160
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
161
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
162
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
163
passwords. (Martin Pool)
165
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
168
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
171
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
178
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
179
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
180
paths. (Robert Collins)
182
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
183
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
185
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
186
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
187
disk. (Robert Collins)
189
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
192
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
193
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
194
(Alexander Belchenko)
200
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
201
(Martin Pool, #408199)
203
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
204
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
205
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
206
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
207
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
208
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.17 "So late it's brunch" 2009-07-20
212
#########################################
213
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
218
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
219
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
222
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
223
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
224
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
225
annoying progress bar artifacts.
228
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
229
*********************************
231
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
232
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
233
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
235
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
236
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
237
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
239
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
240
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
246
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
247
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
248
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
249
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
255
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
256
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
257
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
258
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
260
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
261
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
262
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
264
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
265
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
266
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
270
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
271
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
272
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
273
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
279
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
280
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
282
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
283
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
284
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
285
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
287
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
288
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
290
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
291
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
292
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
294
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
295
(Martin Pool, #321935)
297
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
298
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
300
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
301
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
303
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
304
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
305
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
307
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
310
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
311
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
313
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
314
of a remote repository.
315
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
317
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
318
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
321
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
323
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
325
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
326
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
328
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
329
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
331
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
332
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
333
(Martin Pool, #339385)
335
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
336
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
337
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
338
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
341
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
342
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
343
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
345
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
346
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
347
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
348
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
349
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
350
(Robert Collins, #376243)
352
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
353
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
354
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
355
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
356
activity display respectively.
357
(Martin Pool, #340347)
359
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
360
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
362
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
365
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
366
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
372
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
373
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
374
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
375
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
377
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
378
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
379
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
380
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
383
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
384
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
386
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
387
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
388
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
389
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
390
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
391
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
393
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
394
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
395
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
396
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
398
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
399
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
400
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
404
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
405
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
406
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
407
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
413
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
414
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
415
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
416
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
418
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
419
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
420
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
422
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
425
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
426
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
428
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
429
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
430
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
432
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
433
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
434
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
435
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
437
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
443
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
444
formatting in the user reference.
445
(Martin Pool, #249908)
447
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
453
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
456
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
457
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
458
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

462
#####################
464
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
465
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
466
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
469
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
470
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
471
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
473
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
474
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
479
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
480
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
482
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
483
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
484
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
486
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
487
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
488
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
489
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
490
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
491
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
492
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
494
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
495
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
496
converted data. (Robert Collins)
498
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
499
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
500
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
502
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
503
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
504
that. (Robert Collins)
506
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
507
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
508
repository. (Robert Collins)
510
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
511
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
512
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
513
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

bzr 1.16 "It's yesterday in California" 2009-06-18
518
##################################################
519
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
523
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
524
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
525
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
526
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
528
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
529
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
530
bug fixes and improvements.
533
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
534
*********************************
536
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
537
2a can work correctly.
538
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
540
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
541
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
542
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
548
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
549
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
556
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
557
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
558
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
559
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
560
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
561
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
564
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
565
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
566
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
567
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
569
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
570
and more concisely repacks the full history.
572
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
573
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
575
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
576
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
577
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
579
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
580
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
586
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
587
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
588
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
590
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
591
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
592
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
593
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
594
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
596
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
597
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
598
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
599
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
601
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
602
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
608
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
609
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
610
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
611
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
617
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
618
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
620
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
621
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
623
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
624
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
625
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
627
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
628
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
630
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
631
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
632
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
634
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
635
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
636
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
639
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
640
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
642
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
643
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
645
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
646
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
648
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
649
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
650
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
651
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
652
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
653
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
655
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
657
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
658
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
660
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
661
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
663
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
664
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
665
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
666
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
667
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
669
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
670
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
671
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
672
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
677
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
678
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
684
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
686
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
687
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
688
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
690
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
691
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
692
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
694
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
695
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
697
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
698
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
703
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
704
repositories. (Martin Pool)
709
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
711
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
713
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
722
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
723
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
724
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
725
revisions introduce the exact same line.

*****************************
730

*********************************
736
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
737
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.

This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
739
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
741
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
742
*********************************
749
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
750
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
751
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
752
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
757
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
758
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
761
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
762
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
763
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
764
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
766
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
767
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
768
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
769
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
771
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
772
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
775
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
776
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
777
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
782
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
783
server. (Jonathan Lange)
785
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
786
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
788
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
789
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
790
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
792
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
797
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
798
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
800
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
802
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
803
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
805
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
806
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
808
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
809
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
811
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
812
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
813
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
814
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
816
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
819
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
820
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
822
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
823
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
825
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
826
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
828
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
829
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
831
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
834
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
835
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
837
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
838
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
839
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
840
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
841
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
842
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
843
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
844
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
845
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
846
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
847
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
848
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
849
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
850
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
852
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
853
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
854
(Robert Collins, #368921)
856
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
857
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
865
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
866
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
867
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
869
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
870
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
871
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
872
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
873
(Alexander Belchenko)
878
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
879
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
880
encoding. (Robert Collins)
882
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
883
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
886
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
887
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
888
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
889
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
890
configuration. (Robert Collins)
892
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
893
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
894
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
896
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
897
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
898
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
899
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
901
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
902
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
903
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
905
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
906
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
907
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
908
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
910
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
911
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
912
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
914
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
915
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
917
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
918
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
919
branches. (Robert Collins)
921
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
922
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
924
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
929
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
930
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

983
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
984
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
985
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
986
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
987
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
989
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
990
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
991
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
993
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
994
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
995
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
996
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
997
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1002
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1003
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1004
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1005
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1006
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1009
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1012
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1013
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1015
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1016
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1017
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1018
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1019
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1021
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1022
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1024
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1027
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1028
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1029
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1030
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1033
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1034
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1035
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1036
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1037
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1039
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1040
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1043
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1049
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1050
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1051
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1053
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1054
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1055
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1056
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1057
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1059
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1060
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1063
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1064
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1065
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1067
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1070
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1073
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1074
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1076
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1077
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1079
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1080
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1082
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1083
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1086
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1087
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1088
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1090
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1091
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1092
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1095
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1096
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1097
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1098
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1100
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1101
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1102
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1103
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1104
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1105
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1106
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1107
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,

Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1110
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1116
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1117
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1118
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1119
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1120
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1121
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1122
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1124
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1125
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1127
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1128
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1129
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1130
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1132
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1133

1135
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1137
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1140
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1141
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1142

1144
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1145

1151
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1152
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1154
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1155
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1156
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1157
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1159
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1161
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.

* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1165
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1166
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1167
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1168
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1170
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1171
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1172
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1173
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1174
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1175
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1176
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1178
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1179
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1181
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1182
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1185
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1186
(James Westby, #341558)
1188
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1189
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1191
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1192
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1197
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1199
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1201
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1202
(James Westby, #336998)
1207
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1210
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1211
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1214
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1215
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1218
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1219
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1220
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1222
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1223
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1224
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1226
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1227
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1228
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1229
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1232
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1233
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1236
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1239
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1240
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1242
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1243
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1244
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1245
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1247
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1248
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1249
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1254
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1255
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1256
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1257
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1258
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1260
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1263
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1264
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1265
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1266
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1272
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1273
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1275
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1276
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1278
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1279
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1280
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1282
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1283
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1284
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1285
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1287
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1288
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1289
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1290
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1292
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1293
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1294
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1296
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1297
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1298
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1300
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1301
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1302
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1304
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1305
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1308
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1309
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1310
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1312
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1313
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1315
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1316
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1317
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1319
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1320
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1323
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1324
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1325
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1327
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1328
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1329
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1330
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1331
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1333
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1334
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1335
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1336
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1338
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1339
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1340
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1341
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1343
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1344
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1345
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1347
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1348
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1351
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1352
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1353
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1355
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1356
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1357
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1358
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1359
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1361
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1362
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1363
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1366
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1367
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1368
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1369
desired. (Robert Collins)
1371
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1372
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1373
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1374
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1376
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1377
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1378
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
1390
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
1391
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
1392
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
1394
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1395
*****************************
1397
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1398
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1399
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1400
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1401
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1402
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1408
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1409
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1410
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1412
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1413
********************************
1415
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1416
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1417
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1422
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1423
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1425
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1426
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1428
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1429
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1431
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1433
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1434
*********************************
1436
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1437
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1438
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1440
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1441
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1443
Compatibility Breaks
1444
********************
1446
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1447
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1448
command may need to be adjusted.
1449
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1454
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1455
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1456
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1458
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1461
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1462
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1463
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1466
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1467
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1469
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1470
(John Arbash Meinel)
1472
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1473
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1475
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1477
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1478
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1481
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1487
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1488
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1489
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1490
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1491
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1492
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1493
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1494
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1497
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1498
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1500
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1501
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1502
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1504
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1505
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1507
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1508
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1509
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1512
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1513
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1514
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1516
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1517
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1518
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1519
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1521
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1524
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1525
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1527
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1528
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1530
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1531
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1532
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1534
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1539
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1540
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1542
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1543
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1544
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1546
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1547
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1550
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1551
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1553
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1554
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1557
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1558
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1559
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1561
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1562
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1564
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1565
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1567
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1568
(James Westby, #174539)
1570
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1571
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1573
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1574
error branching from old repositories.
1575
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1577
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1578
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1580
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1581
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1582
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1583
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1585
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1586
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1589
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1590
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1592
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1593
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1595
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1596
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1597
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1599
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1600
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1602
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1603
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1608
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1609
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1610
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1613
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1614
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1616
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1617
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1622
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1623
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1624
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1625
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1626
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1628
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1629
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1631
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1632
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1633
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1634
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1635
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1636
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1638
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1639
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1641
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1642
"author" argument being deprecated.
1644
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1646
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1647
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1648
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1649
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1651
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1652
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1653
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1655
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1656
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1657
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1659
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1660
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1662
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1663
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1664
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1665
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1670
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1671
free of virtual file system methods.
1672
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1674
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1675
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1676
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1678
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1679
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1680
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1681
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1682
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1683
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1685
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1687
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1688
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1690
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1691
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1692
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1693
stream the operation.
1694
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1696
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1697
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1699
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1700
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1701
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1702
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1703
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1706
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1708
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1709
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1710
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1712
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1713
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1716
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1719
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1720
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1721
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1723
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1724
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1725
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1727
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1728
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1729
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1731
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1732
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1733
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1735
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1736
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1737
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1738
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1739
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1741
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1742
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1743
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1744
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1745
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1746
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1748
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1749
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1750
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1751
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1752
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1754
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1755
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1757
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1758
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1760
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1761
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1762
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1763
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1764
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1766
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1767
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
1776
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
1778
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1779
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1780
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1781
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1782
by showing the rate of network IO.
1784
Changes from RC1 to Final
1785
*************************
1787
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1788
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1790
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1791
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1793
Compatibility Breaks
1794
********************
1796
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1797
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1798
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1799
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1801
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1802
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1803
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1806
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1807
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1808
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1809
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1811
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1812
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1813
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1816
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1821
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1822
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1823
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1826
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1827
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1828
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1830
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1831
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1832
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1833
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1834
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1835
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1836
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1837
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1838
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1844
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1847
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1850
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1851
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1852
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1854
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1855
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1856
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1857
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1858
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1860
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1861
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1863
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1864
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1865
level for better precision.
1868
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1869
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1871
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1872
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1873
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1875
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1876
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1877
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1880
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1881
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1882
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1887
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1889
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1891
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1892
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1893
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1895
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1896
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1897
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1898
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1899
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1900
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1902
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1903
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1905
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1906
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1908
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1909
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1910
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1912
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1913
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1914
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1917
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1918
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1920
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1921
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1922
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1923
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1925
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1926
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1928
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1930
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1935
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1940
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1941
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1944
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1945
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1947
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1948
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1950
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1951
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1953
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1954
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1955
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1956
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1958
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1959
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1960
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1965
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1966
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1967
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1968
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1969
compile buffers, are such an example).
1972
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1973
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1976
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1977
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1978
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1981
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1982
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1984
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1985
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1992
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1993
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1994
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1995
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1996
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1998
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1999
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2002
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2003
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2008
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2011
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2012
(John Arbash Meinel)
2016
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
2017
#################################
2022
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2023
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2028
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2029
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2031
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2032
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2033
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2034
implement other plugins.
2037
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2043
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2044
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2046
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2047
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2049
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2050
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2051
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2052
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2055
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2056
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2057
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2058
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2059
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2061
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2062
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2063
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2064
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2065
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2070
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2071
control directory. (#139691)
2073
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2074
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2076
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2077
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2079
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2080
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2081
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2083
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2084
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2086
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2087
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2088
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2090
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2091
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2093
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2096
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2097
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2098
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2100
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2101
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2103
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2104
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2105
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2107
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2108
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2109
in the appropriate sections.
2110
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2112
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2113
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2114
(John Arbash meinel)
2116
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2119
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2122
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2123
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2125
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2126
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2127
work better with how it splits its requests.
2128
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2130
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2131
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2132
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2134
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2137
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2139
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2142
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2148
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2149
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2150
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2156
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2157
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2158
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2159
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2161
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2162
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2164
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2165
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2166
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2167
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2169
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2170
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2171
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2172
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2177
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2178
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2179
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2181
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2182
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2183
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2184
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2186
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2187
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2188
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2194
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2195
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2196
(John Arbash Meinel)
2198
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2199
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2200
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2201
(John Arbash Meinel)
2203
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2204
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2205
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2206
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2208
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2209
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2210
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2212
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2213
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2214
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2215
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2217
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2218
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2219
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2220
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2221
(John Arbash Meinel)
2223
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2224
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2226
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2227
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2228
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2230
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2231
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2232
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2233
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2235
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2236
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2237
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2238
(John Arbash Meinel)
2240
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2241
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2242
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2243
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2244
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2245
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2246
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2248
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2249
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2256
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2257
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2258
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2259
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2262
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2267
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2268
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2269
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2270
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2272
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2273
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2274
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2275
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2276
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2283
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2284
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2285
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2286
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2291
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2292
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2294
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2300
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2301
history just to set the last revision info.
2302
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2304
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2305
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2306
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2307
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2309
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2310
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2311
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2312
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2313
(John Arbash Meinel)
2315
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2316
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2318
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2319
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2320
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2321
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2322
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2324
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2325
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2326
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2327
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2332
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2333
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2335
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2336
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2338
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2339
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2340
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2341
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2343
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2344
starting with a dotted revno.
2345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2347
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2348
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2349
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2351
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2352
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2353
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2355
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2356
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2357
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2359
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2360
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2361
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2362
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2364
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2365
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2366
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2368
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2369
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2374
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2375
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2376
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2377
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2379
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2380
have changed incompatibly.
2382
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2383
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2384
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2385
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2386
don't need to change.
2388
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2389
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2394
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2395
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2397
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2403
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2404
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2405
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2406
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2407
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2408
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2413
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2414
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2416
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2418
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2419
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2429
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2430
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2432
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2433
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2434
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2435
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2440
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2441
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2442
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2443
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2444
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2445
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2447
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2448
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2450
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2451
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2452
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2454
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2455
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2456
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2459
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2460
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2462
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2463
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2465
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2466
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2468
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2469
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2470
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2471
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2472
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2473
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2474
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2475
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2476
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2477
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2482
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2483
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2485
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2486
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2488
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2489
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2490
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2492
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2493
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2494
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2496
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2497
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2498
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2500
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2501
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2502
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2503
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2504
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2505
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2507
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2508
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2510
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2511
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2513
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2514
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2515
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2516
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2517
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2519
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2520
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2521
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2522
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2527
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2532
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2537
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2538
configuration of authetication credentials.
2544
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2545
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2546
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2547
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2548
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2553
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2554
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2559
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2560
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2563
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
2564
#####################
2569
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2570
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2571
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2572
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2573
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2575
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2576
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2578
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2579
server. (Marius Kruger)
2581
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2582
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2583
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2584
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2585
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2586
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2591
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2592
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2593
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2600
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2601
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2602
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2603
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2605
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2606
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2609
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2610
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2613
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2616
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2618
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2619
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2621
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2622
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2624
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2625
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2626
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2627
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2628
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2629
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2630
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2631
operations. (Robert Collins)
2633
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2635
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2636
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2637
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2642
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2643
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2644
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2646
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2647
repository now preserves the repository format.
2648
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2650
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2653
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2656
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2660
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2663
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2664
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2665
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2667
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2668
is in a different repository than the current one.
2669
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2671
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2672
(David Futcher, #242106)
2674
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2675
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2677
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2678
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2679
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2680
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2682
* Trivial documentation fix.
2683
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2685
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2686
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2687
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2688
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2693
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2698
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2699
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2700
to use. (Robert Collins)
2702
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2703
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2704
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2706
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2707
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2708
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2709
they want. (Robert Collins)
2714
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2715
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2716
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2718
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2719
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2722
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2725
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2726
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2728
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2734
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2735
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2737
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2738
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2739
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2741
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2742
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2743
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2745
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2746
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2748
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2749
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2751
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2752
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2754
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2755
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2756
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2757
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2772
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2777
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2778
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2779
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2780
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2867
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2868
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2870
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2871
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2874
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2875
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2876
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel)
2879
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2880
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2882
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2883
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2884
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2885
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2886
(John Arbash Meinel)
2888
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2889
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2890
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2891
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2892
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2893
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2894
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2895
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2896
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2897
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2902
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2903
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2905
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2906
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2907
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2909
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2910
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2911
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2913
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2914
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2915
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2916
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2917
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2918
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2920
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2921
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2923
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2924
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2926
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2927
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2928
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2929
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2930
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2931
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2933
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2934
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2936
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2937
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2939
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2940
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2941
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2942
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2944
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2945
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2947
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2948
assuming the host name is ascii.
2949
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2951
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2952
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2957
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2962
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2964
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2965
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2966
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2969
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2970
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2972
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2973
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2975
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2976
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2981
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2982
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2983
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2984
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2986
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2990
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2991
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2992
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2994
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3000
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3001
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3004
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3005
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3006
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3007
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3008
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3010
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3011
is unknown in both source and target.
3012
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3014
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3015
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3016
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3017
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3019
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3020
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3021
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3022
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
3028
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3029
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3030
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3033
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3034
#######################
3039
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3040
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3041
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3042
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3045
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3046
#######################
3048
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3049
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3050
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3051
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3052
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3053
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3054
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3055
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3056
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3057
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3058
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3059
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3064
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3065
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3066
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3067
start of the string (causing more copies).
3068
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3069
especially for projects with large files.
3070
(John Arbash Meinel)
3072
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3073
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3074
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3075
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3076
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3078
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3079
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3080
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3081
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3082
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3083
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3089
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3090
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3091
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3092
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3093
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3094
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3095
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3096
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3097
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3100
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3101
#####################
3106
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3107
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3108
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3109
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3110
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3113
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3114
#####################
3119
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3120
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3121
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3124
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3125
#####################
3130
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3131
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3137
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3138
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3139
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3145
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3146
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3147
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3149
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3150
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3151
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3152
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3153
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3154
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3155
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3158
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3159
#####################
3161
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3167
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3168
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3170
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3171
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3174
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3175
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3176
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3177
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3178
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3180
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3181
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3183
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3184
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3186
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3187
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3189
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3190
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3191
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3192
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3193
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3194
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3197
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3198
#####################
3200
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3201
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3202
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3203
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3204
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3209
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3210
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3211
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3216
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3217
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3219
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3220
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3222
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3223
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3224
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3226
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3229
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3230
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3231
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3232
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3233
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3234
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3235
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3237
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3238
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3239
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3244
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3245
physical repository boundaries.
3246
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3248
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3249
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3251
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3252
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3255
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3258
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3259
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3260
that Python is running from.
3261
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3263
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3264
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3265
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3267
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3268
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3270
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3271
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3272
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3274
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3275
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3277
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3278
(James Westby, #248448)
3283
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3284
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3285
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3288
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3289
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3292
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3293
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3294
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3295
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3296
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3297
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3300
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3301
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3303
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3304
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3305
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3306
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3307
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3308
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3313
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3314
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3315
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3316
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3317
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3318
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3320
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3321
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3322
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3324
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3327
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3328
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3330
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3337
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3338
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3339
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3340
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3346
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3347
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3348
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3350
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3351
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3352
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3353
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3354
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3357
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3359
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3360
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3361
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3367
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3368
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3371
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3372
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3373
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3374
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3376
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3377
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3378
(Christophe Troestler)
3380
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3381
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3383
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3384
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3385
faster. The new request method name is
3386
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3391
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3392
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3393
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3394
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3395
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3397
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3398
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3400
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3401
requires a branch to be present.
3402
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3404
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3406
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3408
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3409
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3410
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3411
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3413
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3414
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3416
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3418
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3420
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3421
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3422
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3423
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3424
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3426
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3427
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3429
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3430
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3432
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3434
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3436
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3437
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3439
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3440
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3445
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3448
* Updated developer documentation.
3454
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3455
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3457
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3458
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3459
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3460
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3465
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3466
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3467
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3468
Repository docstring for more details.
3471
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3472
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3473
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3475
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3476
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3479
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3480
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3481
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3482
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3487
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3488
(Alexander Belchenko)
3490
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3491
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3492
containing a given location.
3495
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3496
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3497
storage. (Robert Collins)
3499
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3502
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3503
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

#######################
3510
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3511
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3512
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3518
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3519
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3520
reading from the repository.)
3521
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3523
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3524
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3526
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3527
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3530
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3531
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3532
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3534
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3535
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3536
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3538
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3539
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3541
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3542
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3543
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3544
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3549
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3551
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3552
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3553
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3556
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3557
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3562
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3567
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3568
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3573
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3574
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3575
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3576
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3577
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3579
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3580
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3585
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3586
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3588
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3589
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
3592
#######################
3595
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3596
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3597
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3598
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3599
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3600
and future extensions.
3603
Notes When Upgrading
3604
********************
3606
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3607
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3608
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3609
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3610
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3611
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3612
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3613
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3618
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3619
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3620
(John Arbash Meinel)
3625
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3626
load. (James Westby)
3631
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3632
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3633
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3634
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3636
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3637
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3638
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3640
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3641
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3643
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3644
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3645
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3647
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3648
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3649
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3650
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3651
step closer to not using full revision history.
3652
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3657
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3658
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3660
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3661
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3663
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3664
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3666
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3667
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3668
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3669
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3671
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3672
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3673
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3674
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3676
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3677
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3678
in use by another process.
3681
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3682
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3683
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3684
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3686
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3687
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3689
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3690
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3693
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3694
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3697
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3701
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3702
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3704
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3705
under vim on Mac OS X.
3706
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3708
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3709
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3714
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3715
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3717
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3718
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3721
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3722
and about use of Python reprs.
3723
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3725
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3730
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3733
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3734
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3736
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3737
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3742
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3743
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3744
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3745
(John Arbash Meinel)
3750
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3751
instead. (Martin Pool)
3753
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3754
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3755
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3756
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3758
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3759
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3760
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3761
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3762
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3764
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3765
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3766
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3767
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3768
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3769
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3771
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3772
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3775
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3776
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3779
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3780
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3781
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3782
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3784
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3785
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3786
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3788
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3789
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3790
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3791
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3792
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3795
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3796
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3797
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3798
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3801
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3802
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3803
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3804
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3805
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3807
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3814
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3815
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3816
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3821
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3822
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3823
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3828
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3829
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3833

#####################
3839
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3840
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3841
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3842
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3847
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3848
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3850
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3851
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3853
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3859
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3860
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3862
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3863
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3865
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3866
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3867
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3869
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3870
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3871
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3873
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3876
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3879
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3880
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3882
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3883
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3885
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3886
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3888
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3889
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3892
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3893
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3895
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3896
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3898
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3899
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3900
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3901
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3903
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3904
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3907
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3908
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3909
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3911
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3912
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3913
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3914
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3915
every revision each side had in common.
3916
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3918
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3919
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3921
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3922
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3923
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3924
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3929
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3930
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3931
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3932
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3934
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3936
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3938
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3944
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3945
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3946
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3948
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3949
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3950
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3951
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3953
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3954
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3956
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3957
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3958
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3959
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3961
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3962
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3963
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3964
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3969
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3970
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3971
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3973
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3975
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3976
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3978
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3979
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3981
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3982
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3987
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3988
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3989
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3991
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3992
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3993
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3996
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
3997
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4000
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
4007
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4008
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4009
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4010
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4011
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4012
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4013
and faster performance.
4018
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4019
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4020
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4031
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4032
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4034
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a

particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4037
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4038
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
4040
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4041
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4042
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4043
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4044
every revision each side had in common.

4054
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4056
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4057
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4059
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4060
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4061
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4063
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4064
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4065
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4066
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4067
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4068
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4071
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4072
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4073
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4074
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4079
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4081
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4082
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4083
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4085
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4086
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4087
See the User Reference for signature details.
4088
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4090
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4091
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4096
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4097
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4098
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4099
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4101
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4102
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4104
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4105
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4106
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4109
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4112
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4113
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4114
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4116
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4119
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4120
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4122
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4123
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4125
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4126
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4127
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4129
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4130
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4131
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4132
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4133
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4135
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4136
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4138
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4139
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4144
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4145
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4146
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4147
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4148
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4149
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4151
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4152
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4154
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4155
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4156
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4158
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4159
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4161
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4162
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4163
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4164
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4166
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4167
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4168
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4169
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4170
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4172
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4174
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4175
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4177
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4179
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4180
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4182
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4183
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4188
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4190
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4192
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4194
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4199
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4200
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4201
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4203
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4204
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4205
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4206
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4208
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4209
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4210
release. (James Westby)
4212
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4215
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4217
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4218
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4220
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4221
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4223
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4224
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4226
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4227
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4228
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4230
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4231
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4232
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4233
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4235
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4236
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4237
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4238
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4240
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4241
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4242
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4243
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4244
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4245
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4247
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4248
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4249
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4251
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4252
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4254
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4255
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4258
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4259
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4261
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4262
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4264
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4265
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4267
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4268
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4269
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4271
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4272
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4273
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4274
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4275
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4276
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4281
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4282
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4283
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4284
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4286
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4287
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4288
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4289
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4293
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4294
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4297
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4298
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4300
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4302
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4303
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4304
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4309
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4311
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4314
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4315
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4316
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4317
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4318
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4319
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4321
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4322
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4324
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4325
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4326
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4327
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4329
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4330
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4332
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4333
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4375
********************
4377
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4378
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4383
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4384
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4385
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4386
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4389
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4390
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4391
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4392
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4393
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4394
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4396
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4397
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4398
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4399
(Alexander Belchenko)
4401
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4403
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4404
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4409
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4410
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4412
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4413
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4419
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4421
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4423
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4424
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4425
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4427
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4428
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4430
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4431
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4433
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4434
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4435
(Alexander Belchenko)
4437
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4438
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4439
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4440
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4442
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4445
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4446
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4447
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4448
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4449
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4454
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4455
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4456
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4457
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4459
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4460
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4462
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4463
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4465
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4466
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4467
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4469
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4470
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4472
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4475
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4476
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4478
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4480
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4482
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4483
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4485
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4486
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4488
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4489
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4491
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4492
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4494
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4495
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4497
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4498
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4503
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4504
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4509
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4510
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4511
(Alexander Belchenko)
4516
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4518
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4519
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4525
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4526
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4527
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4529
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4530
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4531
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4532
(Alexander Belchenko)
4534
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4535
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4536
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4537
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4539
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4540
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4541
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4544
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4545
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4546
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4548
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4549
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4550
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4552
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4553
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4554
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4555
format. (Robert Collins)
4564
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
4571
********************
4573
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4574
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4575
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4576
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4577
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4583
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4584
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4586
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4587
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4588
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4590
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4591
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4592
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4593
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4594
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4595
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4601
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4602
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4604
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4605
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4606
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4609
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4610
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4611
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4612
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4613
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4615
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4616
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4617
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4618
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4619
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4620
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4621
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4622
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4627
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4628
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4630
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4631
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4633
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4634
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4636
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4637
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4638
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4640
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4641
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4642
(John Arbash Meinel)
4647
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4648
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4650
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4651
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4653
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4654
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4656
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4657
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4658
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4660
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4661
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4662
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4664
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4665
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4667
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4668
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4669
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4670
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4671
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4673
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4675
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4676
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4679
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4680
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4682
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4683
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4685
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4688
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4689
more characters which should be considered valid.
4690
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4692
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4693
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4695
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4696
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4701
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4702
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4704
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4705
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4711
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4712
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4718
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4719
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4720
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4722
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4723
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4724
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4726
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4727
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4728
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4729
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4731
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4733
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4734
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4735
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4736
server. (Robert Collins)
4738
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4739
operate. (Robert Collins)
4741
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4742
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4743
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4745
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4746
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4747
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4748
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4750
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4751
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4753
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4754
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4755
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4757
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4758
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4760
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4761
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4763
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4764
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4765
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4766
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4781
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4782
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4783
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4785
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4786
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4787
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4788
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4793
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4796
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.

4810
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4812
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4814
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4815
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4816
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4817
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4818
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4820
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4821
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4822
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4824
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
4825
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4827
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.

* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
4832
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4834
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
4837

pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
4843

4855
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4856
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)

4859
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)

* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4862
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

4865
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.

4907
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4910
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4911
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4912
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4913

support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
4947
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
4948

Notes When Upgrading
5124
********************
5126
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5127
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5128
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5129
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5131
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5132
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5134
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5135
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5137
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5138
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5139
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5140
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5141
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5142
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5143
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5144
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5145
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5146
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5147
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5148
from any tree without problems.
5149
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5154
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5155
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5156
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5158
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5159
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5165
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5166
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5167
supported transports.
5170
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5171
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5172
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5174
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5175
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5177
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5178
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5179
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5180
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5182
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5183
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5188
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5189
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5190
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5191
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5193
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5194
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5195
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5196
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5198
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5199
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5201
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5202
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5204
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5205
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5207
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5208
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5214
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5217
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5218
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5221
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5222
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5223
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5224
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5226
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5227
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5228
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5229
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5237
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.

format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5243
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5244
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5246
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5249
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5250
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5252
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5253
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5255
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5258
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5261
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5264
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5265
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5268
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5269
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5271
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5272
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5274
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5275
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5277
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5280
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5281
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5282
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5283
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5285
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5287
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5288
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5291
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5292
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5294
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5296
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5298
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5299
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5301
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5302
specify a port in urls.
5303
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5305
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5306
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5308
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5309
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5311
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5312
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5314
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5315
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5317
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5318
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5319
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5321
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5323
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5324
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5326
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5329
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5330
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5332
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5333
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5335
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5336
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5337
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5339
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5340
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5342
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5343
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5344
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5345
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5347
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5348
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5350
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5351
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5352
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5354
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5355
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5357
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5360
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5366
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5367
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5369
* The return value of
5370
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5371
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5372
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5373
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5375
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5378
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5379
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5386
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5387
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5388
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5391
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5392
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5394
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5403
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
5406
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29

######################
5412
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5413
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5415
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5416
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5417
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5418
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5419
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5420
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5421
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5422
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5423
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5424
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5425
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5426
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5432
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5433
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5434
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5435
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5436
commands. (Robert Collins)
5438
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5439
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5440
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5443
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5445
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5446
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5448
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5449
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5452
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5453
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5454
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5459
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5460
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5462
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5463
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5465
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5466
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5467
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5468
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5470
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5473
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5474
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5475
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5476
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5478
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5479
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5481
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5482
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5484
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5485
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5487
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5488
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5493
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5494
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5496
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5497
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5499
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5500
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5502
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5503
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5505
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5506
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5511
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5513
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5519
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5520
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5521
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5523
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5524
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5526
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5527
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5529
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5530
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5531
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5532
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5534
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5535
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5536
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5537
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5538
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5540
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5541
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5543
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5545
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5547
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5548
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5550
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5553
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5556
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5557
contains a symbolic link.
5558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5560
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5561
(James Westby, #140615)
5563
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5564
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5567
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5568
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5569
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5571
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5573
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5576
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5580
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5581
directory to detect leaking tests.
5582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5584
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5585
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5586
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5588
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5591
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5592
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5594
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5600
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5601
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5603
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5604
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5605
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5607
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5608
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5609
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5611
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5612
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5614
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5615
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5617
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5618
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5621
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5622
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5624
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5625
class that needs it.
5628
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5629
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5631
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5632
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5633
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5635
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5636
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5637
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5640
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5641
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5642
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5643
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5649
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5650
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5651
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5653
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5654
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5655
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5656
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5658
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5659
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5662
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5663
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5664
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5666
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5667
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5668
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5670
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5671
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5673
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5674
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5675
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5677
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5678
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5680
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5681
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5682
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5684
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5685
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5686
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5688
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5689
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5690
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5691
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5693
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5694
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5695
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5696
returned. (Robert Collins)
5698
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5699
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5701
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5702
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5703
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5704
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5707
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5708
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5713
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5714
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5716
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5717
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5718
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5719
makes this behavior available to other users.
5722
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5723
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5732
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5733
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5734
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5736
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5738
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5739
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5740
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5741
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5743
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5744
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5748
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5749
######################
5751
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5752
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5755
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5756
######################
5761
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5762
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5763
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5764
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5767
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5768
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5769
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5775
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5776
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5777
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5780
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5781
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5782
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5784
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5785
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5786
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5788
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5789
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5791
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5792
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5793
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5794
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5795
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5796
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5797
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5798
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5799
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5800
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5802
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5803
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5805
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5806
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5807
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5812
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5813
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5815
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5816
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5817
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5819
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5820
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5822
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5823
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5825
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5828
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5829
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5831
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5832
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5834
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5835
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5837
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5838
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5840
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5842
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5845
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5846
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5847
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5848
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5850
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5852
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5853
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5856
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5857
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5859
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5860
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5863
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5864
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5866
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5867
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5869
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5870
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5871
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5872
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5873
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5874
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5875
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5877
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5878
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5880
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5881
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5883
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5884
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5886
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5887
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5889
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5891
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5893
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5894
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5896
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5897
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5898
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5900
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5901
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5902
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5907
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5908
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5910
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5913
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5916
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5917
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5919
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5921
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5922
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5924
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5925
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5927
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5928
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5929
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5930
space). (Robert Collins)
5932
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5933
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5936
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5937
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5939
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5940
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5942
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5943
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5944
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5945
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5947
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5948
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5949
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5952
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5955
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5956
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5957
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5959
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5960
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5961
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5962
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5963
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5968
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5969
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5971
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5972
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5973
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5974
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5975
affected. (Robert Collins)
5977
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5978
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5979
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5982
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5983
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5988
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5989
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5991
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5992
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5994
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5995
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5997
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6000
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6001
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6006
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6007
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6008
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6009
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6011
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6012
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6014
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6015
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6016
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6017
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6019
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6020
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6021
present. (Robert Collins)
6023
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6024
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6025
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6026
API. (Robert Collins)
6028
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6029
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6032
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6033
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6035
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6036
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6037
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6038
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6039
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6040
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6042
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6043
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6044
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6046
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6047
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6048
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6049
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6052
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6055
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6056
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6057
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6058
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6059
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6060
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6061
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6063
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6064
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6065
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6066
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6068
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6069
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6070
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6071
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6072
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6073
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6075
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6076
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6077
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6079
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6080
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6089
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6090
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6091
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6092
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6093
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6094
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6095
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6096
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6102
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6103
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6104
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6107
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
6108
######################
6113
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6114
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6115
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6116
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6117
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6119
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6122
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6126
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6127
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6130
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6131
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6134
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6137
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6138
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6140
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6141
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6143
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6144
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6146
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6147
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6149
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6150
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6152
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6158
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6159
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6161
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6162
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6164
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6165
the repository (Robert Collins)
6167
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6168
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6169
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6170
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6171
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6173
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6174
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6176
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6177
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6178
(John Arbash Meinel)
6180
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6181
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6182
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6184
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6185
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6186
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6187
(John Arbash Meinel)
6189
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6190
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6193
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6194
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6196
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6199
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6201
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6203
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6204
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6206
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6207
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6210
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6211
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6212
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6213
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6215
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6216
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6217
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6219
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6220
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6221
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6223
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6224
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6226
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6227
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6228
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6229
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6230
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6231
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6234
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6235
(Alexander Belchenko)
6237
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6238
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6240
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6241
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6243
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6245
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6246
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6251
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6252
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6253
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6254
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6256
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6258
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6261
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6262
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6263
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6264
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6265
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6266
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6271
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6272
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6273
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6274
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6276
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6277
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6278
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6279
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6280
tests have been refactored too.
6283
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6284
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6285
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6289
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6290
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6291
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6293
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6294
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6295
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6296
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6297
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6298
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6299
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6301
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6302
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6303
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6304
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6305
(John Arbash Meinel)
6307
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6308
functionality for testing.
6310
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6312
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6313
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6315
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6317
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6320
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6321
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6323
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6324
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6325
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6327
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6330
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6331
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6333
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6334
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6335
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6336
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6338
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6339
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6341
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6342
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6343
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6345
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6348
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6349
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6350
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6351
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6352
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6353
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6355
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6356
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6357
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6358
many files. (Robert Collins)
6360
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6361
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6362
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6363
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6368
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6369
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6370
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)

* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6373
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6375
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6376
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6377
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

6445
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6446
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

6468
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6469

If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6473
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6476

These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
6534
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6536
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6537
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
6538
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
6540
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
6541
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
6543
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
6544
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6546
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6548
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6549
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6550
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6551
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6552
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6553
same location. (Robert Collins)
6558
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6560
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6562
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6564
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6567
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6570
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6571
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6572
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6574
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6576
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6577
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6578
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6580
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6581
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6583
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6584
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6585
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6587
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6588
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6589
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6591
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6592
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6593
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6595
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6596
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6599
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6600
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6602
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6603
(Alexander Belchenko)
6608
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6609
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6610
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6611
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6613
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6614
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6615
testing. (Robert Collins)
6617
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6618
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6620
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6621
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6622
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6623
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6624
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6625
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6626
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6628
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6629
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6630
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6631
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6633
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6634
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6636
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6637
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6658
********************
6660
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6661
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6662
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6663
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6664
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6665
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6666
and unlock() like so::
6668
work_tree.lock_read()
6670
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6676
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6677
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6679
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6680
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6681
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6683
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6684
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6685
too. (Robert Collins)
6690
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6691
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6694
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6695
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6697
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6698
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6700
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6701
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6702
understanding what changes have occurred
6703
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6705
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6706
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6707
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6709
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6710
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6711
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6712
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6714
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6720
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6721
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6722
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6723
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6724
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6726
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6727
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6728
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6730
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6733
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6737
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6738
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6740
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6741
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6743
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6744
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6746
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6747
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6749
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6750
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6752
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6753
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6754
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6757
####################
6762
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6763
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6764
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6765
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6766
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6768
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6769
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6770
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6772
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6773
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6778
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6779
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6780
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6782
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6783
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6784
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

6796
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)

* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6806

6808
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

Notes When Upgrading
6815
********************
6817
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6818
it could be recovered again.
6819
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6820
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6821
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6823
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6825
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6826
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6831
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6832
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6834
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6835
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6836
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6837
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6839
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6840
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6842
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6843
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6844
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6846
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6847
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6848
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6850
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6851
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6852
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6854
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6855
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6858
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6861
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6862
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6863
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6864
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6866
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6869
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6870
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6871
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6874
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6875
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6877
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6878
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6880
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6881
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6882
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6883
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6886
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6887
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6889
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6890
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6892
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6893
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6894
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6896
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6897
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6898
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6900
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6901
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6902
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6904
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6905
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6906
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6907
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6909
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6910
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6911
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6912
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6914
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6915
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6916
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6917
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6918
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6919
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6920
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6921
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6928
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6929
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6931
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6932
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6933
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6934
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6935
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6937
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6938
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6940
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6941
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6943
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6944
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6946
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6947
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6949
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6950
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6951
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6954
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6955
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6956
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6957
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6958
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6961
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6962
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6963
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6965
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6966
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6969
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6970
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6971
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6974
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6975
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6976
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6977
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6978
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6980
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6981
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6982
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6983
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6985
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6986
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6988
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6989
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6990
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6991
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6992
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6993
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6995
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6996
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6998
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6999
help. (Robert Collins)
7001
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7002
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7004
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7005
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7006
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7007
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7008
(John Arbash Meinel)
7010
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7011
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7012
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7013
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7014
useful. (Robert Collins)
7016
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7022
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7023
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7025
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7026
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7028
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7029
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7030
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7032
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7035
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7036
the file, and does it faster.
7037
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7039
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7040
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7041
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7043
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7044
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7045
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7046
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7048
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7049
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7050
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7051
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7053
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7054
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7056
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7057
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7058
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7059
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7062
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7064
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7065
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7067
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7068
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7070
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7071
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7072
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7073
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7077
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7078
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7083
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7084
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7085
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7087
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7088
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7090
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7091
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7092
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7093
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7094
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7095
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7096
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7097
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7099
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7100
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7101
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7103
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7104
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7105
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7106
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7107
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7109
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7111
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7112
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7113
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7115
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7116
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7125
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7128
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7129
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7132
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7133
#######################
7138
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7139
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7145
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7146
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7147
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7148
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7149
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7150
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7151
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7152
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7158
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7159
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7160
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7162
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7163
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7166
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7167
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7168
(John Arbash Meinel)
7170
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7171
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7172
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7173
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7174
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7179
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7182
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7183
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7185
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7186
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7188
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7189
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7190
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7192
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7193
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7195
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7196
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7197
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7198
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7199
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7201
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7202
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7203
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7205
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

#######################
7211
Notes When Upgrading
7212
********************
7214
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7215
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7216
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7221
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7222
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7224
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7225
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7227
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7229
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7230
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7232
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7233
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7238
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7244
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7245
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7246
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7247
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7249
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7250
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7252
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7253
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7255
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7258
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7259
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7262
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7263
#######################
7268
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7269
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7270
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7271
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7272
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7273
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7275
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7276
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7277
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7278
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7279
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7280
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7282
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7284
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7285
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7286
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7287
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7288
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7289
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7290
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7291
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7296
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7297
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7299
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7300
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7301
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7302
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7304
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7305
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7306
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7307
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7308
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7310
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7313
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7316
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7319
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7320
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7323
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7326
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7327
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7329
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7330
directory. (Martin Pool)
7332
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7333
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7334
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7335
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7337
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7338
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7339
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7340
in docs/configuration.txt.
7342
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7343
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7346
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7347
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7348
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7349
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7350
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7351
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7353
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7354
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7356
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7357
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7359
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7365
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7366
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7367
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7368
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7369
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7370
(John Arbash Meinel)
7372
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7373
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7376
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7377
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7378
(John Arbash Meinel)
7380
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7381
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7382
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7383
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7384
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7385
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7387
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7388
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7389
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7391
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7392
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7393
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7394
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7396
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7398
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7399
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7400
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7401
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7403
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7404
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7405
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7406
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7408
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7409
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7410
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7412
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7413
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7414
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7416
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7417
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7418
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7419
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7421
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7422
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7423
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7425
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7426
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7427
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7429
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7430
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7431
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7432
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7433
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7434
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7435
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7436
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7437
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7438
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7439
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7444
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7445
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7446
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7448
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7451
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7452
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7453
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7454
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7456
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7457
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7460
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7461
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7463
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7465
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7466
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7467
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7469
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7470
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7472
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7475
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
7478
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7520
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7521
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7522
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7524
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7527
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7528
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7529
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7531
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7532
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7534
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7537
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7538
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7539
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7540
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7541
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7542
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7544
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7545
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7546
should enable you to do::
7548
[/home/user/project]
7549
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7550
push_location:policy = appendpath
7552
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7553
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7556
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7557
for each file. For example::
7559
$ bzr status --short
7565
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7566
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7568
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7570
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7571
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7573
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7578
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7579
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7580
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7581
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7583
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7584
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7585
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7587
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7589
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7590
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7591
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7592
(Alexander Belchenko)
7594
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7597
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7598
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7600
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7605
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7606
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7608
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7609
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7610
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7611
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7612
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7614
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7615
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7617
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7618
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7620
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7622
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7624
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7625
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7626
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7627
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7628
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7630
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7631
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7632
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7633
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7635
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils

(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7638
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7639
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

7664
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7665
operations are substantially faster.
7666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
7668
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
7669
tree from some other url. For example:
7670
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7671
(Daniel Silverstone)
7673
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7674
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7675
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7676
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7678
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7681
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7682
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7683
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7684
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7685
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7686
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7691
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7692
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7695
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7696
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7697
(John Arbash Meinel)
7699
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7700
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7701
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7702
(John Arbash Meinel)
7704
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7705
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7707
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7708
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7710
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7711
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7717
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7718
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7719
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7721
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7722
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7723
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7724
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7726
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7728
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7729
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7731
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7732
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7733
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7736
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7737
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7738
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7740
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7741
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7742
them as full references rather than integers.
7743
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7745
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7746
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7748
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7750
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

7753
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7754
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7756
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7757
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7758
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7759
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7761
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7762
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7763
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7765
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7766
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7768
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7769
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7770
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7771
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7797
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7798
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7799
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7801
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7802
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7804
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7806
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7807
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7808
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7809
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7811
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7812
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7813
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7814
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7815
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7820
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7821
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7826
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7827
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7828
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7830
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7831
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7832
(John Arbash Meinel)
7834
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7835
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7836
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7838
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7839
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7842
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7843
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7844
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7846
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7847
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7848
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7849
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7850
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7851
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7853
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7854
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7855
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7858
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7859
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7864
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7865
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7866
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7869
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7870
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7872
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7873
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.

(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7876
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7877
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7879
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7880
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7881
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7882
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7884
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7885
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7887
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7888
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7889
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7891
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7892
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7894
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7896
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7897
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7903
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7904
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7905
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7906
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7935
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7936
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7937
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7938
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7939
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7940
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7948
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7949
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7951
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7952
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7953
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7956
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand

7958
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

7964
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7967
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary

7969
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8017
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8018
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8019
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8020
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8022
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8023
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8024
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)

of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8053
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8054
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8056
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8057
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8058
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8060
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8061
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8062
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8063
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8064
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8065
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8066
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8067
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8068
caller to repeat their request.
8069
(John Arbash Meinel)
8071
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8072
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8074
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8075
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8077
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8078
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8079
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8080
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8081
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8082
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8083
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8085
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8086
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8087
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8088
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8089
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8090
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8091
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8092
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8095
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8096
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8097
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8099
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8100
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8102
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8103
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8105
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8106
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8111
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8112
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8114
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8115
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8116
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8118
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8119
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8120
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8123
####################
8127
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8128
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8130
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8131
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8132
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8133
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8134
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8136
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8137
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8138
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8140
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8141
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8143
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8144
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8145
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8150
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8152
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8153
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8154
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8156
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8158
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8160
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8161
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8162
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8163
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8165
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8166
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8167
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8168
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8169
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8171
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8172
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8174
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8175
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8177
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8178
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8180
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8181
in handling of revision properties.
8182
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8184
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8185
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8190
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8191
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8192
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8193
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8194
(John Arbash Meinel)
8196
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8197
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8198
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

#####################
8206
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8207
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8208
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8209
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8210
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8211
a more conservative list than the old default.
8212
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8213
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8214
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8215
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8217
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8218
to more locations than just branch locations.
8224
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8225
revno:N:branch. For example,
8226
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8227
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8229
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8230
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8231
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8232
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8233
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8234
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8235
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8236
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8239
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8240
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8241
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8244
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8245
(Alexander Belchenko)
8247
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8249
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8252
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8253
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8254
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8255
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8256
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8257
(John Arbash Meinel)
8259
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8260
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8261
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8262
grained analysis of performance.
8263
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8265
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8266
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8268
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8269
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8270
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8271
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8272
file. (Robert Collins).
8274
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8275
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8276
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8278
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8279
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8282
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8283
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8285
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8286
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8287
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8288
the same way you would apply another branch.
8289
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8291
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8292
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8294
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8297
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8300
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8301
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8302
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8304
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8305
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8306
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8308
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8309
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8311
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8312
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8313
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8314
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8315
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8317
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8318
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8320
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8321
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8322
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8323
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8324
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8325
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8326
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8327
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8329
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8330
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8331
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8336
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8338
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8340
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8341
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8343
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8344
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8346
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8347
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8349
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8351
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8352
(John Arbash Meinel)
8354
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8355
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8357
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8358
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8361
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8362
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8364
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8365
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8367
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8368
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8369
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8370
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8372
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8373
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8375
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8377
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8378
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8380
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8382
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8384
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8385
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8387
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8388
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8390
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8391
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8392
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8394
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8395
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8396
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8398
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8399
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8401
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8402
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8404
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8405
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8407
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8408
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8410
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8411
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8413
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8414
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8415
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8417
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8419
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8420
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8425
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8426
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8427
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8429
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8430
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8432
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8433
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8434
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8436
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8437
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8439
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8440
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8443
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8444
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8445
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8447
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8448
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8449
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8451
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8452
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8453
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8455
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8456
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8457
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8459
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8460
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8461
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8463
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8464
instead. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8534
********************
8536
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8537
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8538
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8539
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8540
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8541
will keep the same format.
8543
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8544
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8545
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8546
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8547
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8549
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8550
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8551
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8552
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8553
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8554
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8555
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8557
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8558
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8559
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8560
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8561
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8563
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8564
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8565
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8572
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8573
convention. Paths now take the form::
8575
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8577
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8579
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8580
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8582
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8583
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8584
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8586
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8587
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8588
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8589
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8591
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8592
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8593
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8595
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8597
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8599
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8600
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8603
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8604
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8607
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8609
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8610
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8611
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8614
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8616
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8618
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8621
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8622
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8624
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8625
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8628
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8629
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8632
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8634
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8636
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8637
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8639
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8640
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8641
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8642
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8643
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8644
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8646
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8648
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8649
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8652
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8653
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8655
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8656
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8658
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8660
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8661
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8662
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8663
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8664
specification by Martin Pool.
8665
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8667
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8670
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8671
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8673
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8674
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8675
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8677
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8679
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8680
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8686
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8687
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8689
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8691
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8693
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8696
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8697
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8698
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8699
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8704
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8705
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8706
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8707
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8709
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8710
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8711
tried. (Martin Pool)
8713
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8716
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8718
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8719
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8720
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8722
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8723
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8725
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8726
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8727
paths. (Robert Collins)
8729
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8730
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8731
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8733
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8734
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8735
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8737
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8738
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8739
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8741
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8744
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8747
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8749
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8751
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8752
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8753
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8756
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8757
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8759
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8760
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8761
check. (Robert Collins)
8763
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8764
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8769
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8770
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8772
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8773
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8774
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8775
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8777
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8778
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8779
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8780
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8781
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8783
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8784
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8785
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8787
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8789
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8790
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8798
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8799
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8801
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8802
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8803
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8806
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8807
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8809
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8810
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8811
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8812
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8813
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8815
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8816
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8817
used. (Robert Collins)
8819
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8820
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8823
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8824
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8825
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8827
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8830
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8831
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8836
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8837
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8839
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8841
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8843
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8844
tree. (Robert Collins)
8846
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8847
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8848
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8851
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8854
* Tweaks to short log printing
8856
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8859
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8860
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8862
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8863
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8865
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8866
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8868
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8869
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8870
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8872
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8873
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8875
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8876
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8879
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8880
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8882
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8883
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8885
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8886
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8888
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8891
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8892
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8894
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8895
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8897
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8898
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8899
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8904
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8906
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8908
* Error when run with -OO
8910
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8913
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8915
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8917
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8918
ignored by diff and status
8920
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8921
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8923
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8925
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8927
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8928
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8930
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8931
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8933
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8936
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8937
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8939
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8941
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8942
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8944
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8947
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8948
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8950
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
8955
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8956
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8958
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8960
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8962
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8964
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8965
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8966
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8968
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8970
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8971
(John Arbash Meinel)
8973
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8975
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8976
If adding a new test script please add that to
8977
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8979
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8980
imported. (Martin Pool)
8982
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8983
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8984
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8985
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8986
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8989
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8990
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8991
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8993
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8994
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8995
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8997
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8998
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8999
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9000
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9001
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9004
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9005
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9011
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9012
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9014
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9015
function. (Robert Collins)
9017
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9018
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9019
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9021
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9022
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9025
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9026
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9027
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9028
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9029
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9030
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9031
version. (Robert Collins)
9033
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9034
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9036
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9037
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9038
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9039
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9040
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9041
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9043
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9046
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9056
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9058
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9060
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9063
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9064
query method. (Robert Collins)
9066
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9069
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9072
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9075
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9076
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9077
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9078
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9080
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9081
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9082
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9083
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9085
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9086
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9094
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9097
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9101
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9102
a separator, not ':'.
9105
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9106
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9107
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9109
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9110
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9113
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9114
has been added that suppresses all output.
9116
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9119
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9120
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9122
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9123
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9125
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9126
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9128
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9129
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9130
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9131
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9133
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9135
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9136
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9138
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9139
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9141
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9142
output directory, if one was supplied.
9144
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9145
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9146
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9147
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9149
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9151
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9152
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9154
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9155
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9156
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9158
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9159
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9161
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9164
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9166
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9171
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9172
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9173
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9175
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9176
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9177
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9179
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9180
is given. (Martin Pool)
9182
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9183
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9184
file. (Robert Collins)
9186
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9192
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9193
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9194
representation. (Martin Pool).
9196
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9197
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9198
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9200
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9203
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9204
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9207
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9208
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9209
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9210
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9211
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9213
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9214
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9215
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9216
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9217
python path. (Robert Collins)
9219
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9220
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9221
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9222
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9224
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9225
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9227
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9228
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9231
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9232
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9233
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9235
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9236
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9237
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9239
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9240
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9242
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9243
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9244
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9247
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9248
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9249
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9250
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9253
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9256
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9257
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9260
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9261
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9262
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9264
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9265
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9266
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9268
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9269
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9270
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9272
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9273
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9275
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9276
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9277
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9278
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9279
caller. (Robert Collins)
9281
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9282
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9285
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9286
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9289
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9291
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9292
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9297
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9298
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9300
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9301
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9311
allow directories to be listed.
9313
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9314
upgrading branch format.
9319
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9328
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9329
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9330
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9331
high-latency connections.
9336
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9339
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9340
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9342
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9343
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9344
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9345
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9347
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9348
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9350
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9351
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9353
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9354
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9355
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9357
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9358
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9359
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9362
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9363
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9365
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9366
different partial views of history.
9368
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9369
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9374
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9375
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9376
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9378
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9379
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9382
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9383
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9385
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9388
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9389
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9391
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9392
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9393
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9394
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9396
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9398
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9399
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9402
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9403
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9405
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9406
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9407
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9413
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9414
for your viewing pleasure.
9416
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9417
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9419
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9420
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9421
handling of such circumstances.
9423
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9424
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9425
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9427
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9429
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9430
we call them revisions not patches.
9432
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9433
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9435
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9436
giving the revision *of that file*.
9438
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9439
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9440
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9445
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9446
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9448
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9449
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

9467
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
9468
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9473
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9474
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9476
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9477
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
9478
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9479
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

9500
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9501
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9502
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9503
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9506
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9509
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9510
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9511
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9512
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9513
for the operating system is still tried.
9515
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9516
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9517
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9523

help with intelligent shell completion.
9554
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
9560
* Much better merge support.
9562
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
9563
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things

* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
9571
mention revisions that are not present.

* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9623
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9625
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9626
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9627
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9633
* Faster working tree operations.
9639
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9640
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9641
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9642
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9644
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9645
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9646
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9647
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9648
standard plugins directory.
9650
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9651
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9652
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9653
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9655
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9656
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9658
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9661
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9662
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9663
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9665
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9666
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9668
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9669
line options must come before the command name because they
9670
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9671
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9674
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
9676
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

#####################
9692
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9693
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9695
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9696
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9697
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9698
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9700
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9701
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9702
with the ``--forward`` option.
9704
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9705
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second

* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9713
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.

* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9717
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9718
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.

9736
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.

9745
haven't changed since the previous time.

* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9748
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.

9755
range; contributed by John A Meinel.

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9785
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9787
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9788
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.

* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9791
under a different version.
