.. contents:: List of Releases
15
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
16
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
17
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
18
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
19
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
27
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.

:Codename: little traveller
52
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
53
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
54
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
55
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
56
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
57
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
59
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
60
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
61
or until the following stable release.
67
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
68
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
70
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
71
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
72
(Martin Pool, #391411)
77
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
78
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
79
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
81
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
82
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
83
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
84
(Martin Pool, #123688)
86
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
87
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
88
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
89
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
91
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
92
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
94
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
95
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
96
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
97
(Robert Collins, #282402)
99
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
100
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
102
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
103
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
105
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
106
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
107
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
108
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
109
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
111
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
112
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
113
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
115
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
116
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
117
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
118
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
119
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
121
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
122
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
124
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
125
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
126
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
128
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
129
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
130
(Martin Pool, #408201)
132
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
133
(Martin Pool, #403523)
135
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
136
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
137
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
139
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
140
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
142
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
143
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
145
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
146
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
148
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
149
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
150
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
152
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
153
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
154
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
156
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
157
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
159
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
160
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
161
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
162
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
163
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
164
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
166
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
167
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
168
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
170
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
171
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
172
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
173
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
175
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
176
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
177
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
178
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
179
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
181
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
182
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
183
(Robert Collins, #187207)
188
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
191
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
192
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
193
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
194
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
196
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
197
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
203
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
208
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
209
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
210
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
211
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
212
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
213
passwords. (Martin Pool)
215
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
218
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
221
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
225
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
226
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
231
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
232
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
233
paths. (Robert Collins)
235
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
236
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
238
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
239
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
240
disk. (Robert Collins)
242
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
245
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
246
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
247
(Alexander Belchenko)
253
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
254
(Martin Pool, #409684)
256
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
257
(Martin Pool, #408199)
259
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
260
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
261
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
262
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
263
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
264
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

268
#########################################
269
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
274
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
275
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
278
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
279
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
280
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
281
annoying progress bar artifacts.
284
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
285
*********************************
287
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
288
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
289
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
291
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
292
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
293
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
295
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
296
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
302
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
303
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
304
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
305
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
311
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
312
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
313
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
314
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
316
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
317
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
318
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
320
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
321
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
322
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
326
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
327
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
328
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
329
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
335
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
336
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
338
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
339
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
340
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
341
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
343
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
344
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
346
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
347
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
348
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
350
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
351
(Martin Pool, #321935)
353
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
354
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
356
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
357
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
359
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
360
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
361
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
363
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
366
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
367
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
369
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
370
of a remote repository.
371
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
373
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
374
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
377
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
379
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
381
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
382
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
384
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
385
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
387
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
388
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
389
(Martin Pool, #339385)
391
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
392
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
393
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
394
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
397
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
398
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
399
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
401
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
402
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
403
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
404
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
405
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
406
(Robert Collins, #376243)
408
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
409
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
410
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
411
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
412
activity display respectively.
413
(Martin Pool, #340347)
415
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
416
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
418
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
421
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
422
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
428
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
429
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
430
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
431
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
433
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
434
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
435
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
436
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
439
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
440
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
442
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
443
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
444
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
445
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
446
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
447
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
449
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
450
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
451
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
452
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
454
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
455
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
456
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
460
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
461
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
462
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
463
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
469
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
470
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
471
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
472
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
474
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
475
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
476
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
478
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
481
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
482
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
484
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
485
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
486
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
488
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
489
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
490
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
491
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
493
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
499
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
500
formatting in the user reference.
501
(Martin Pool, #249908)
503
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
509
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
512
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
513
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
514
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

#####################
520
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
521
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
522
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
525
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
526
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
527
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
529
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
530
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
535
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
536
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
538
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
539
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
540
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
542
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
543
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
544
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
545
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
546
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
547
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
548
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
550
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
551
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
552
converted data. (Robert Collins)
554
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
555
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
556
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
558
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
559
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
560
that. (Robert Collins)
562
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
563
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
564
repository. (Robert Collins)
566
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
567
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
568
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
569
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
580
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
581
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
582
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.

Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
590
*********************************
592
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
593
2a can work correctly.
594
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
596
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
597
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
598
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
604
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
605
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
612
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
613
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
614
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some

bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
616
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
617
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
620
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
621
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
622
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
623
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
625
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
626
and more concisely repacks the full history.
628
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
629
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
631
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
632
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
633
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
635
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
636
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
642
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
643
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
644
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
646
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
647
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
648
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
649
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
650
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
652
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
653
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
654
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
655
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
657
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
658
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
664
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
665
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
666
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
667
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
673
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
674
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
676
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
677
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
679
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
680
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
681
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
683
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
684
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
686
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
687
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
688
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
690
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
691
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
692
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
695
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
696
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
698
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
699
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
701
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
702
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
704
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
705
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
706
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
707
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
708
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
709
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
711
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
713
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
714
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
716
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
717
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
719
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
720
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
721
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
722
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
723
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
725
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
726
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
727
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
728
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
733
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
734
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
740
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
742
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
743
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
744
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
746
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
747
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
748
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
750
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
751
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
753
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
754
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
759
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
760
repositories. (Martin Pool)
765
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
767
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
769
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
778
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
779
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
780
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
781
revisions introduce the exact same line.
783
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
784
*****************************
786
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.

Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
790
*********************************
792
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
793
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
794
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
795
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
797
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
798
*********************************
805
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
806
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
807
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
808
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
813
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
814
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
817
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
818
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
819
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
820
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
822
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
823
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
824
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
825
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
827
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
828
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
831
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
832
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
833
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
838
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
839
server. (Jonathan Lange)
841
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
842
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
844
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
845
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
846
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
848
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
853
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
854
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
856
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
858
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
859
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
861
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
862
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
864
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
865
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
867
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
868
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
869
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
870
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
872
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
875
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
876
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
878
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
879
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
881
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
882
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
884
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
885
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
887
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
890
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
891
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
893
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
894
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
895
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
896
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
897
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
898
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
899
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
900
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
901
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
902
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
903
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
904
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
905
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
906
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
908
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
909
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
910
(Robert Collins, #368921)
912
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
913
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
921
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
922
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
923
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
925
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
926
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
927
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
928
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
929
(Alexander Belchenko)
934
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
935
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
936
encoding. (Robert Collins)
938
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
939
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
942
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
943
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
944
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
945
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
946
configuration. (Robert Collins)
948
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
949
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
950
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
952
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
953
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
954
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
955
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
957
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
958
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
959
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
961
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
962
backwards. (Robert Collins)
964
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
965
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
966
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
967
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
969
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
970
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
971
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
973
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
974
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
976
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
977
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
978
branches. (Robert Collins)
980
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
981
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
983
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
988
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
989
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1040
********************
1042
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1043
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1044
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1045
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1046
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1048
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1049
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1050
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1052
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1053
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1054
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1055
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1056
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1061
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1062
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1063
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1064
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1065
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1068
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1071
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1072
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1074
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1075
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1076
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1077
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1078
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1080
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1081
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1083
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1086
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1087
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1088
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1089
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1092
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1093
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1094
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1095
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1096
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1098
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1099
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1102
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1108
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1109
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1110
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1112
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1113
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1114
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1115
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1116
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1118
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1119
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1122
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1123
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1124
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1126
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1129
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1132
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1133
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1135
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1136
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1138
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1139
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1141
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1142
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1145
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1146
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1147
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1149
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1150
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1151
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1154
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1155
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1156
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1157
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1159
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1160
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1161
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1162
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1163
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1164
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1165
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1166
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1167
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1169
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1175
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1176
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1177
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1178
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1179
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1180
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1181
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1183
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1184
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1186
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1187
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1188
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1189
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1191
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1192
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1194
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1196
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1199
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1200
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1201
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1203
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1204
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1206
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1207
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1209
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1210
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1211
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1213
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1214
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1215
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1216
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1218
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1220
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1223
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1224
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1225
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1226
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1227
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1229
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1230
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1231
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1232
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1233
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1234
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1235
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1237
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1238
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1240
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1241
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1244
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1245
(James Westby, #341558)
1247
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1248
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1250
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1251
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1256
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1258
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1260
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1261
(James Westby, #336998)
1266
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1269
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1270
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1273
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1274
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1277
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1278
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1279
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1281
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1282
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1283
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1285
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1286
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1287
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1288
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1291
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1292
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1295
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1298
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1299
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1301
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1302
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1303
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1304
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1306
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1307
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1308
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1313
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1314
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1315
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1316
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1317
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1319
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1322
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1323
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1324
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1325
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1331
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1332
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1334
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1335
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1337
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1338
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1339
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1341
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1342
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1343
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1344
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1346
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1347
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1348
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1349
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1351
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1352
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1353
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1355
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1356
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1357
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1359
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1360
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1361
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1363
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1364
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1367
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1368
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1369
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1371
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1372
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1374
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1375
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1376
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1378
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1379
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1382
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1383
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1384
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1386
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1387
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1388
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1389
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1390
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1392
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1393
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1394
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1395
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1397
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1398
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1399
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1400
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1402
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1403
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1404
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1406
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1407
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1410
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1411
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1412
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1414
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1415
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1416
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1417
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1418
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1420
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1421
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1422
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1425
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1426
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1427
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1428
desired. (Robert Collins)
1430
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1431
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1432
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1433
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1435
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1436
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1437
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
1450
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and

stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
1453
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1454
*****************************
1456
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1457
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1458
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1459
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1460
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1461
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1467
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1468
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1469
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1471
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1472
********************************
1474
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1475
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1476
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1481
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1482
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1484
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1485
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1487
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1488
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1490
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1492
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1493
*********************************
1495
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1496
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1497
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1499
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1500
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1502
Compatibility Breaks
1503
********************
1505
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1506
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1507
command may need to be adjusted.
1508
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1513
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1514
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1515
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1517
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1520
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1521
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1522
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1525
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1526
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1528
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1529
(John Arbash Meinel)
1531
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1532
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1534
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1536
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1537
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1540
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1546
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1547
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1548
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1549
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1550
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1551
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1552
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1553
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1556
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1557
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1559
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1560
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1561
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1563
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1564
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1566
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1567
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1568
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1571
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1572
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1573
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1575
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1576
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1577
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1578
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1580
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1583
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1584
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1586
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1587
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1589
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1590
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1591
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1593
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1598
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1599
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1601
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1602
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1603
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1605
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1606
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1609
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1610
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1612
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1613
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1616
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1617
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1618
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1620
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1621
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1623
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1624
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1626
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1627
(James Westby, #174539)
1629
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1630
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1632
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1633
error branching from old repositories.
1634
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1636
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1637
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1639
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1640
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1641
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1642
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1644
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1645
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1648
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1649
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1651
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1652
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1654
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1655
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1656
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1658
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1659
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1661
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1662
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1667
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1668
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1669
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1672
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1673
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1675
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1676
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1681
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1682
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1683
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1684
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1685
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1687
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1688
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1690
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1691
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1692
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1693
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1694
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1695
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1697
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1698
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1700
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1701
"author" argument being deprecated.
1703
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1705
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1706
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1707
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1708
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1710
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1711
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1712
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1714
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1715
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1716
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1718
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1719
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1721
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1722
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1723
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1724
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1729
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1730
free of virtual file system methods.
1731
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1733
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1734
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1735
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1737
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1738
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1739
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1740
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1741
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1742
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1744
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1746
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1747
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1749
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1750
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1751
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1752
stream the operation.
1753
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1755
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1756
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1758
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1759
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1760
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1761
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1762
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1764
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1765
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1767
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1768
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1769
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1771
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1772
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1775
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1778
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1779
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1780
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1782
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1783
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1784
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1786
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1787
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1788
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1790
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1791
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1792
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1794
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1795
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1796
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1797
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1798
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1800
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1801
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1802
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1803
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1804
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1805
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1807
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1808
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1809
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1810
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1811
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1813
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1814
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1816
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1817
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1819
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1820
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1821
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1822
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1823
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1825
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1826
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
1837
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1838
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1839
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1840
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1841
by showing the rate of network IO.
1843
Changes from RC1 to Final
1844
*************************
1846
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1847
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1849
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1850
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1852
Compatibility Breaks
1853
********************
1855
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1856
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1857
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1858
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1860
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1861
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1862
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1865
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1866
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1867
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1868
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1870
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1871
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1872
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1875
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1880
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1881
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1882
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1885
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1886
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1887
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1889
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1890
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1891
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1892
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1893
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1894
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1895
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1896
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1897
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1903
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1906
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1909
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1910
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1911
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1913
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1914
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1915
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1916
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1917
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1919
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1920
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1922
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1923
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1924
level for better precision.
1927
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1928
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1930
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1931
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1932
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1934
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1935
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1936
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1939
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1940
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1941
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1946
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1948
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1950
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1951
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1952
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1954
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1955
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1956
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1957
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1958
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1959
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1961
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1962
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1964
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1965
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1967
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1968
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1969
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1971
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1972
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1973
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1976
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1977
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1979
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1980
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1981
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1982
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1984
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1985
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1987
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1989
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1994
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1999
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2000
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2003
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2004
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2006
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2007
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2009
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2010
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2012
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2013
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2014
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2015
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2017
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2018
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2019
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2024
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2025
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2026
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2027
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2028
compile buffers, are such an example).
2031
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2032
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2035
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2036
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2037
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2040
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2041
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2043
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2044
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
2051
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2052
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2053
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2054
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2055
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2057
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2058
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2061
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2062
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2067
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2070
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2071
(John Arbash Meinel)
2075
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
2076
#################################
2081
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2082
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2087
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2088
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2090
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2091
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2092
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2093
implement other plugins.
2096
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2102
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2103
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2105
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2106
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2108
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2109
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2110
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2111
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2114
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2115
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2116
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2117
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2118
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2120
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2121
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2122
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2123
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2124
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2129
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2130
control directory. (#139691)
2132
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2133
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2135
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2136
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2138
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2139
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2140
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2142
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2143
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2145
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2146
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2147
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2149
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2150
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2152
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2155
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2156
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2157
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2159
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2160
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2162
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2163
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2164
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2166
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2167
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2168
in the appropriate sections.
2169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2171
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2172
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2173
(John Arbash meinel)
2175
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2178
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2181
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2182
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2184
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2185
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2186
work better with how it splits its requests.
2187
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2189
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2190
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2191
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2193
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2196
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2198
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2201
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2207
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2208
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2209
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2215
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2216
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2217
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2218
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2220
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2221
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2223
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2224
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2225
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2226
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2228
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2229
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2230
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2231
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2236
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2237
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2238
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2240
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2241
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2242
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2243
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2245
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2246
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2247
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2253
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2254
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2255
(John Arbash Meinel)
2257
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2258
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2259
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2260
(John Arbash Meinel)
2262
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2263
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2264
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2265
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2267
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2268
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2269
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2271
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2272
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2273
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2274
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2276
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2277
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2278
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2279
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2280
(John Arbash Meinel)
2282
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2283
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2285
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2286
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2287
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2289
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2290
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2291
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2292
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2294
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2295
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2296
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2297
(John Arbash Meinel)
2299
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2300
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2301
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2302
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2303
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2304
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2305
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2307
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2308
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2315
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2316
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2317
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2318
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2321
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2326
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2327
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2328
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2329
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2331
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2332
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2333
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2334
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2335
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
2341
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2342
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2343
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2344
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2345
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2350
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2351
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2353
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2359
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2360
history just to set the last revision info.
2361
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2363
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2364
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2365
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2366
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2368
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2369
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2370
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2371
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2372
(John Arbash Meinel)
2374
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2375
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2377
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2378
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2379
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2380
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2381
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2383
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2384
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2385
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2386
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2391
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2392
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2394
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2395
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2397
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2398
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2399
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2400
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2402
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2403
starting with a dotted revno.
2404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2406
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2407
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2408
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2410
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2411
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2412
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2414
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2415
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2416
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2418
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2419
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2420
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2421
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2423
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2424
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2425
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2427
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2428
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2433
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2434
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2435
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2436
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2438
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2439
have changed incompatibly.
2441
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2442
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2443
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2444
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2445
don't need to change.
2447
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2448
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2453
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2454
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2456
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2462
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2463
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2464
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2465
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2466
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2467
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2472
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2473
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2475
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2477
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2478
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2488
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2489
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2491
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2492
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2493
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2494
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2499
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2500
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2501
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2502
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2503
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2504
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2506
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2507
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2509
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2510
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2511
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2513
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2514
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2515
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2518
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2519
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2521
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2522
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2524
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2525
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2527
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2528
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2529
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2530
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2531
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2532
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2533
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2534
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2535
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2536
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2541
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2542
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2544
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2545
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2547
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2548
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2549
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2551
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2552
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2553
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2555
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2556
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2557
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2559
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2560
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2561
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2562
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2563
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2564
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2566
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2567
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2569
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2570
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2572
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2573
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2574
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2575
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2576
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2578
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2579
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2580
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2581
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2586
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2591
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2596
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2597
configuration of authetication credentials.
2603
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2604
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2605
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2606
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2607
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2612
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2613
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2618
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2619
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2622
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
2623
#####################
2628
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2629
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2630
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2631
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2632
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2634
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2635
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2637
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2638
server. (Marius Kruger)
2640
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2641
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2642
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2643
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2644
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2645
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2650
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2651
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2652
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2659
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2660
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2661
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2662
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2664
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2665
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2668
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2669
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2672
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2675
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2677
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2678
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2680
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2681
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2683
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2684
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2685
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2686
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2687
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2688
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2689
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2690
operations. (Robert Collins)
2692
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2694
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2695
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2696
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2701
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2702
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2703
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2705
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2706
repository now preserves the repository format.
2707
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2709
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2712
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2715
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2719
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2722
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2723
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2724
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2726
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2727
is in a different repository than the current one.
2728
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2730
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2731
(David Futcher, #242106)
2733
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2734
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2736
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2737
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2738
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2739
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2741
* Trivial documentation fix.
2742
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2744
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2745
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2746
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2747
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2752
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2757
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2758
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2759
to use. (Robert Collins)
2761
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2762
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2763
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2765
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2766
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2767
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2768
they want. (Robert Collins)
2773
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2774
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2775
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2777
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2778
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2781
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2784
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2785
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2787
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2793
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2794
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2796
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2797
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2798
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2800
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2801
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2802
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2804
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2805
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2807
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2808
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2810
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2811
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2813
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2814
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2815
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2816
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2831
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2836
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2837
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2838
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2839
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
2846
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2847
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2848
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2849
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2850
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
2851
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

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

``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
2866
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
2867
connect to the stacked-on location.

(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2876
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
2877
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
2879
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
2882
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

2887
#####################
2889
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
2890
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2891
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
2892
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
2893
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
2894
it in a future repository format.
2900
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2903
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2904
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2905
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2907
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2908
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2909
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2914
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2915
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2917
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2922
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2923
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2926
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2927
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2929
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2930
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2933
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2934
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2935
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2936
(John Arbash Meinel)
2938
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2939
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2941
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2942
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2943
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2944
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2945
(John Arbash Meinel)
2947
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2948
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2949
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2950
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2951
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2952
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2953
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2954
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2955
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2956
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2961
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2962
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2964
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2965
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2966
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2968
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2969
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2970
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2972
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2973
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2974
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2975
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2976
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2977
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2979
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2980
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2982
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2983
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2985
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2986
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2987
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2988
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2989
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2990
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2992
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2993
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2995
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2996
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2998
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2999
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3000
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3001
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3003
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3004
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3006
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3007
assuming the host name is ascii.
3008
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3010
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3011
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3016
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3021
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3023
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3024
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3025
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3028
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3029
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3031
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3032
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3034
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3035
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3040
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3041
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3042
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3043
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3045
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3049
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3050
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3051
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3053
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3059
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3060
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3063
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3064
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3065
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3066
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3067
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3069
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3070
is unknown in both source and target.
3071
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3073
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3074
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3075
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3076
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3078
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3079
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3080
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3081
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
3085
####################
3087
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3088
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3089
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3092
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3093
#######################
3098
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3099
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3100
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3101
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3104
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3105
#######################
3107
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3108
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3109
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3110
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3111
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3112
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3113
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3114
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3115
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3116
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3117
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3118
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3123
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3124
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3125
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3126
start of the string (causing more copies).
3127
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3128
especially for projects with large files.
3129
(John Arbash Meinel)
3131
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3132
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3133
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3134
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3135
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3137
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3138
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3139
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3140
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3141
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3142
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3148
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3149
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3150
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3151
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3152
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3153
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3154
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3155
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3156
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3159
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3160
#####################
3165
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3166
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3167
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3168
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3169
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3172
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3173
#####################
3178
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3179
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3180
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3183
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3184
#####################
3189
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3190
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3196
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3197
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3198
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3204
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3205
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3206
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3208
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3209
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3210
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3211
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3212
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3213
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3214
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3217
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3218
#####################
3220
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3226
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3227
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3229
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3230
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3233
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3234
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3235
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3236
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3237
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3239
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3240
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3242
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3243
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3245
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3246
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3248
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3249
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3250
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3251
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3252
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3253
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3256
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3257
#####################
3259
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3260
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3261
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3262
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3263
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3268
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3269
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3270
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3275
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3276
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3278
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3279
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3281
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3282
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3283
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3285
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3288
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3289
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3290
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3291
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3292
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3293
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3294
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3296
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3297
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3298
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3303
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3304
physical repository boundaries.
3305
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3307
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3308
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3310
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3311
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3314
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3317
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3318
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3319
that Python is running from.
3320
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3322
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3323
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3324
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3326
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3327
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3329
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3330
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3331
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3333
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3334
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3336
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3337
(James Westby, #248448)
3342
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3343
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3344
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3347
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3348
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3351
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3352
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3353
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3354
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3355
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3356
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3359
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3360
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3362
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3363
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3364
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3365
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3366
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3367
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3372
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3373
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3374
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3375
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3376
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3377
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3379
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3380
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3381
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3383
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3386
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3387
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3389
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3396
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3397
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3398
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3399
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3405
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3406
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3407
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3409
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3410
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3411
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3412
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3413
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3416
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3418
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3419
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3420
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3426
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3427
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3430
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3431
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3432
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3433
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3435
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3436
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3437
(Christophe Troestler)
3439
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3440
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3442
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3443
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3444
faster. The new request method name is
3445
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3450
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3451
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3452
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3453
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).

* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3457
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3459
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3460
requires a branch to be present.
3461
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3463
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3465
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3467
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3468
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3469
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3470
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3472
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3473
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3475
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3477
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3479
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3480
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3481
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3482
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3483
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3485
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3486
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3488
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3489
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3491
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3493
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3495
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3496
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3498
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3499
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3504
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3507
* Updated developer documentation.
3513
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3514
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3516
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3517
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3518
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3519
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3524
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3525
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3526
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3527
Repository docstring for more details.
3530
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3531
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3532
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3534
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3535
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3538
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3539
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3540
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3541
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3546
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3547
(Alexander Belchenko)
3549
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3550
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3551
containing a given location.
3554
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3555
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3556
storage. (Robert Collins)
3558
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3561
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3562
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
3567
#######################
3569
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3570
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3571
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3577
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3578
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3579
reading from the repository.)
3580
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3582
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3583
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3585
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3586
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3589
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3590
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3591
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3593
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3594
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3595
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3597
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3598
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3600
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3601
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3602
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3603
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3608
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3610
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3611
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3612
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3615
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3616
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3621
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3626
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3627
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3632
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3633
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3634
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3635
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3636
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3638
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3639
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3644
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3645
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3647
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3648
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
3651
#######################
3654
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3655
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3656
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3657
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3658
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3659
and future extensions.
3662
Notes When Upgrading
3663
********************
3665
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3666
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3667
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3668
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3669
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3670
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3671
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3672
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3677
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3678
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3679
(John Arbash Meinel)
3684
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3685
load. (James Westby)
3690
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3691
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3692
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3693
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3695
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3696
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3697
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3699
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3700
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3702
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3703
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3704
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3706
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3707
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3708
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3709
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3710
step closer to not using full revision history.
3711
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3716
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3717
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3719
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3720
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3722
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3723
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3725
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3726
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3727
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3728
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3730
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3731
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3732
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3733
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3735
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3736
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3737
in use by another process.
3740
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3741
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3742
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3743
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3745
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3746
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3748
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3749
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3752
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3753
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3756
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3760
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3761
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3763
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3764
under vim on Mac OS X.
3765
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3767
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3768
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3773
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3774
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3776
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3777
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3780
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3781
and about use of Python reprs.
3782
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3784
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3789
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3792
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3793
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3795
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3796
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3801
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3802
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3803
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3804
(John Arbash Meinel)
3809
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3810
instead. (Martin Pool)
3812
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3813
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3814
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3815
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3817
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3818
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3819
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3820
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3821
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3823
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3824
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3825
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3826
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3827
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3828
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3830
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3831
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3834
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3835
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3838
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3839
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3840
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3841
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3843
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3844
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3845
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3847
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3848
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3849
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3850
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3851
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3854
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3855
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3856
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3857
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3860
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3861
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3862
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3863
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3864
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3866
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3873
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3874
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3875
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3880
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3881
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3882
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3887
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3888
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3892

#####################
3898
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3899
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3900
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3901
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3906
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3907
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3909
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3910
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3912
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3918
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3919
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3921
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3922
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3924
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3925
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3926
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3928
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3929
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3930
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3932
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3935
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3938
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3939
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3941
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3942
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3944
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3945
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3947
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3948
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3951
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3952
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3954
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3955
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3957
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3958
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3959
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3960
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3962
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3963
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3966
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3967
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3968
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3970
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3971
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3972
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3973
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3974
every revision each side had in common.
3975
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3977
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3978
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3980
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3981
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3982
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3983
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3988
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3989
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3990
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3991
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3993
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3995
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3997
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3998
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4003
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4004
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4005
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4007
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4008
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4009
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4010
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4012
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4013
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4015
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4016
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4017
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4018
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4020
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4021
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4022
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4023
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4028
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4029
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4030
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4032
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4034
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4035
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4037
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4038
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4040
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4041
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4046
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4047
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4048
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4050
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4051
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4052
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4055
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4056
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4059
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
4066
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4067
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4068
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4069
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4070
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4071
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4072
and faster performance.
4077
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4078
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4079
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

4089
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4090

4091
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4093
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
4094

4096
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4097
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
4099
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4100
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4101
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4102
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4103

4113
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4115
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4116
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4118
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4119
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4120
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4122
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4123
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4124
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4125
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4126
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4127
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4130
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4131
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4132
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4133
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4138
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4140
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4141
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4142
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4144
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4145
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4146
See the User Reference for signature details.
4147
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4149
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4150
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4155
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4156
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4157
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4158
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4160
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4161
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4163
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4164
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4165
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4168
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4171
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4172
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4173
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4175
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4178
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4179
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4181
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4182
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4184
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4185
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4186
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4188
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4189
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4190
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4191
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4192
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4194
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4195
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4197
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4198
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4203
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4204
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4205
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4206
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4207
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4208
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4210
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4211
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4213
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4214
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4215
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4217
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4218
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4220
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4221
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4222
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4223
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4225
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4226
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4227
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4228
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4229
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4231
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4233
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4234
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4236
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4238
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4239
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4241
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4242
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4247
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4249
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4251
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4253
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4258
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4259
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4260
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4262
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4263
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4264
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4265
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4267
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4268
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4269
release. (James Westby)
4271
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4274
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4276
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4277
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4279
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4280
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4282
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4283
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4285
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4286
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4287
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4289
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4290
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4291
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4292
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4294
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4295
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4296
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4297
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4299
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4300
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4301
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4302
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4303
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4304
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4306
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4307
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4308
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4310
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4311
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4313
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4314
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4317
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4318
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4320
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4321
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4323
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4324
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4326
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4327
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4328
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4330
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4331
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4332
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4333
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4334
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4335
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4340
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4341
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4342
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4343
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4345
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4346
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4347
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4348
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4352
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4353
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4356
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4357
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4359
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4361
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4362
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4363
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4368
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4370
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4373
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4374
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4375
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4376
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4377
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4378
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4380
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4381
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4383
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4384
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4385
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4386
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4388
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4389
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4391
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4392
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4434
********************
4436
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4437
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4442
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4443
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4444
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4445
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4448
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4449
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4450
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4451
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4452
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4453
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4455
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4456
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4457
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4458
(Alexander Belchenko)
4460
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4462
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4463
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4468
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4469
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4471
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4472
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4478
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4480
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4482
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4483
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4484
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4486
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4487
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4489
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4490
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4492
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4493
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4494
(Alexander Belchenko)
4496
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4497
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4498
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4499
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4501
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4504
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4505
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4506
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4507
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4508
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4513
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4514
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4515
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4516
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4518
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4519
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4521
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4522
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4525
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

4528
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.

* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4534
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4535
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4537
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4539
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4541
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4542
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4544
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4545
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4547
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4548
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4550
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4551
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4553
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4554
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4556
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4557
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4562
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4563
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4568
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4569
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4570
(Alexander Belchenko)
4575
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4577
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4578
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4584
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4585
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4586
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4588
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4589
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4590
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4591
(Alexander Belchenko)
4593
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4594
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4595
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4596
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4598
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4599
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4600
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4603
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4604
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4605
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4607
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4608
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4609
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4611
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4612
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4613
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4614
format. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
4630
********************
4632
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4633
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4634
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4635
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4636
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4642
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4643
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4645
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4646
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4647
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4649
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4650
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4651
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4652
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4653
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4654
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4660
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4661
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4663
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4664
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4665
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4668
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4669
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4670
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4671
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4672
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4674
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4675
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4676
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4677
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4678
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4679
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4680
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4681
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4686
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4687
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4689
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4690
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4692
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4693
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4695
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4696
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4697
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4699
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4700
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4701
(John Arbash Meinel)
4706
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4707
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4709
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4710
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4712
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4713
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4715
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4716
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4717
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4719
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4720
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4721
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4723
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4724
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4726
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4727
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4728
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4729
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4730
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4732
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4734
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4735
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4738
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4739
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4741
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4742
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4744
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4745
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4747
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4748
more characters which should be considered valid.
4749
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4751
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4752
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4754
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4755
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4760
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4761
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4763
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4764
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4770
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4771
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4777
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4778
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4779
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4781
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4782
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4783
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4785
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4786
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4787
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4788
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4790
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4792
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4793
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4794
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4795
server. (Robert Collins)
4797
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4798
operate. (Robert Collins)
4800
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4801
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4802
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4804
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4805
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4806
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4807
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4809
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4810
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4812
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4813
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4814
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4816
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4817
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4819
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4820
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4822
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4823
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4824
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4825
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
4831
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
4833
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
4834
#####################
4839
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4840
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4841
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4842
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4844
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4845
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4846
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4847
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4852
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4855
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
4858
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4859
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
4864
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
4867
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
4868
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
4869
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4871
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4873
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4874
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4875
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4876
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4877
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4879
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4880
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4881
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4883
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
4884
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4886
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
4889
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
4891
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4893
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
4896
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
4897
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
4902
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
4903
(Martin Pool, #180208)
4905
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
4906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
4908
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
4911
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
4912
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
4914
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4915
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
4917
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
4918
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4920
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4921
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
4923
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
4924
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
4925
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
4927
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
4928
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
4930
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
4931
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
4934
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
4936
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
4937
user:pass embedded in the urls.
4938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
4940
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
4941
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
4943
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
4946
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
4949
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
4950
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
4952
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
4955
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
4956
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
4959
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
4960
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
4961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
4966
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4969
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4970
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4971
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4972
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
4973
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
4974
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
4976
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
4981
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
4984
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
4985
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4987
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
4989
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
4990
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
4991
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
4994
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
4995
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4997
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5006
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5007
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5008
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5010
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5011
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5014
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5015
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5017
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5018
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5020
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5021
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5023
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5024
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5025
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5027
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5028
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5030
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5031
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5033
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5034
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5037
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5038
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5040
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5041
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
5050
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5052
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
5055
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
5057
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
5058
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

5068
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
5069
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
5070
by mail to the mailing list.
5076
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
5078
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
5079
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
5080
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
5081
feedback but also incur more latency.
5082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
5084
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
5085
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
5090
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5092
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
5098
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
5099

5118
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
5119
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
5120
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
5121
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5123
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
5126
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
5127
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
5129
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
5130
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
5131
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5133
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5134
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5135
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5136
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5137
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5138
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
5139
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
5140
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing

Notes When Upgrading
5183
********************
5185
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5186
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5187
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5188
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5190
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5191
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5193
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5194
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5196
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5197
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5198
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5199
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5200
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5201
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5202
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5203
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5204
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5205
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5206
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5207
from any tree without problems.
5208
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5213
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5214
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5215
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5217
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5218
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5224
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5225
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5226
supported transports.
5229
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5230
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5231
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5233
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5234
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5236
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5237
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5238
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5239
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5241
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5242
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5247
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5248
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5249
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5250
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5252
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5253
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5254
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5255
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5257
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5258
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5260
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5261
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5263
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5264
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5266
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5267
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5273
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5276
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5277
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5280
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5281
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5282
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5283
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5285
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5286
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5287
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5288
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5296
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5297
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5299
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5300
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5302
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5303
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5305
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5308
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5309
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5311
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5312
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5314
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5317
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5320
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5323
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5324
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5327
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5328
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5330
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5331
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5333
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5334
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5336
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5339
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5340
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5341
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5342
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5344
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5346
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5347
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5350
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5351
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5353
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5355
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5357
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5358
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5360
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5361
specify a port in urls.
5362
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5364
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5365
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5367
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5368
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5370
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5371
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5373
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5374
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5376
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5377
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5378
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5380
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5382
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5383
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5385
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5388
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5389
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5391
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5392
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5394
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5395
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5396
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5398
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5399
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5401
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5402
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5403
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5404
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5406
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5407
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5409
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5410
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5411
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5413
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5414
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5416
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5419
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5425
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5426
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5428
* The return value of
5429
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5430
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5431
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5432
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5434
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5437
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5438
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5445
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5446
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5447
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5450
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5451
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5453
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5462
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
5465
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29

######################
5471
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5472
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5474
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5475
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5476
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5477
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5478
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5479
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5480
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5481
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5482
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5483
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5484
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5485
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5491
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5492
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5493
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5494
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5495
commands. (Robert Collins)
5497
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5498
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5499
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5502
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5504
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5505
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5507
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5508
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5511
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5512
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5513
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5518
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5519
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5521
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5522
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5524
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5525
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5526
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5527
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5529
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5532
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5533
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5534
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5535
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5537
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5538
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5540
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5541
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5543
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5544
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5546
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5547
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5552
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5553
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5555
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5556
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5558
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5559
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5561
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5562
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5564
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5565
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5570
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5572
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5578
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5579
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5580
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5582
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5583
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5585
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5586
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5588
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5589
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5590
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5591
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5593
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5594
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5595
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5596
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5597
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5599
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5600
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5604
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5606
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5607
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5609
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5612
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5615
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5616
contains a symbolic link.
5617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5619
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5620
(James Westby, #140615)
5622
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5623
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5626
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5627
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5628
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5630
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5632
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5635
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5639
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5640
directory to detect leaking tests.
5641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5643
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5644
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5645
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5647
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5650
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5651
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5653
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5659
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5660
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5662
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5663
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5664
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5666
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5667
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5668
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5670
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5671
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5673
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5674
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5676
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5677
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5680
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5681
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5683
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5684
class that needs it.
5687
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5688
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5690
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5691
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5692
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5694
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5695
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5696
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5699
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5700
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5701
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5702
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5708
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5709
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5710
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5712
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5713
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5714
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5715
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5717
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5718
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5721
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5722
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5723
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5725
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5726
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5727
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5729
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5730
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5732
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5733
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5734
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5736
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5737
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5739
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5740
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5741
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5743
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5744
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5745
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5747
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5748
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5749
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5750
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5752
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5753
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5754
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5755
returned. (Robert Collins)
5757
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5758
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5760
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5761
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5762
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5763
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5766
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5767
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5772
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5773
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5775
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5776
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5777
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5778
makes this behavior available to other users.
5781
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5782
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5791
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5792
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5793
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5795
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5797
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5798
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5799
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5800
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5802
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5803
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5807
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5808
######################
5810
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5811
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5814
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5815
######################
5820
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5821
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5822
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5823
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5826
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5827
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5828
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5834
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5835
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5836
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5839
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5840
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5841
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5843
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5844
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5845
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5847
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5848
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5850
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5851
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5852
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5853
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5854
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5855
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5856
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5857
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5858
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5859
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5861
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5862
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5864
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5865
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5866
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5871
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5872
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5874
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5875
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5876
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5878
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5879
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5881
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5882
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5884
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5887
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5888
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5890
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5891
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5893
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5894
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5896
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5897
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5899
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5901
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5904
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5905
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5906
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5907
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5909
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5911
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5912
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5915
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5916
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5918
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5919
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5922
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5923
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5925
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5926
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5928
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5929
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5930
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5931
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5932
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5933
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5934
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5936
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5937
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5939
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5940
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5942
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5943
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5945
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5946
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5948
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5952
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5953
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5955
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5956
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5957
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5959
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5960
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5961
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5966
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5967
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5969
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5972
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5975
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5976
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5978
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5980
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5981
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5983
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5984
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5986
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5987
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5988
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5989
space). (Robert Collins)
5991
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5992
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5995
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5996
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5998
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5999
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6001
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6002
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6003
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6004
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6006
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6007
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6008
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6011
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6014
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6015
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6016
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6018
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6019
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6020
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6021
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6022
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6027
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6028
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6030
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6031
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6032
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6033
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6034
affected. (Robert Collins)
6036
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6037
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6038
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6041
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6042
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6047
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6048
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6050
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6051
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6053
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6054
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6056
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6059
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6060
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6065
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6066
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6067
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6068
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6070
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6071
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6073
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6074
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6075
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6076
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6078
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6079
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6080
present. (Robert Collins)
6082
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6083
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6084
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6085
API. (Robert Collins)
6087
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6088
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6091
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6092
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6094
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6095
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6096
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6097
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6098
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6099
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6101
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6102
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6103
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6105
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6106
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6107
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6108
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6111
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6114
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6115
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6116
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6117
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6118
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6119
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6120
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6122
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6123
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6124
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6125
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6127
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6128
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6129
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6130
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6131
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6132
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6134
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6135
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6136
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6138
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6139
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6148
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6149
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6150
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6151
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6152
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6153
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6154
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6155
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6161
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6162
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6163
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6166
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
6167
######################
6172
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6173
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6174
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6175
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6176
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6178
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6181
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6185
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6186
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6189
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6190
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6193
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6196
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6197
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6199
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6200
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6202
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6203
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6205
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6206
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6208
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6209
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6211
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6217
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6218
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6220
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6221
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6223
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6224
the repository (Robert Collins)
6226
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6227
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6228
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6229
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6230
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6232
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6233
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6235
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6236
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6237
(John Arbash Meinel)
6239
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6240
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6241
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6243
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6244
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6245
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6246
(John Arbash Meinel)
6248
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6249
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6252
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6253
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6255
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6258
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6260
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6262
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6263
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6265
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6266
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6269
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6270
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6271
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6272
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6274
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6275
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6276
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6278
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6279
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6280
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6282
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6283
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6285
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6286
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6287
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6288
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6289
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6290
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6293
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6294
(Alexander Belchenko)
6296
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6297
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6299
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6300
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6302
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6304
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6305
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6310
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6311
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6312
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6313
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6315
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6317
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6320
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6321
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6322
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6323
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6324
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6325
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6330
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6331
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6332
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6333
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6335
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6336
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6337
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6338
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6339
tests have been refactored too.
6342
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6343
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6344
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6348
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6349
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6350
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6352
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6353
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6354
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6355
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6356
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6357
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6358
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6360
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6361
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6362
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6363
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6364
(John Arbash Meinel)
6366
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6367
functionality for testing.
6369
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6371
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6372
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6374
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6376
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6379
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6380
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6382
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6383
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6384
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6386
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6389
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6390
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6392
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6393
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6394
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6395
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6397
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6398
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6400
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6401
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6402
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6404
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6407
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6408
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6409
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6410
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6411
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6412
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6414
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6415
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6416
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6417
many files. (Robert Collins)
6419
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6420
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6421
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6422
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6427
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6428
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6429
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6431
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6432
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6434
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6435
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6436
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6595
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6596

6600
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)

6603
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6605
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6607
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6608
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6609
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6610
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6611
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6612
same location. (Robert Collins)
6617
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6619
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6621
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6623
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6626
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6629
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6630
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6631
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6633
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6635
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6636
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6637
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6639
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6640
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6642
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6643
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6644
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6646
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6647
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6648
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6650
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6651
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6652
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6654
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6655
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6658
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6659
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6661
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6662
(Alexander Belchenko)
6667
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6668
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6669
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6670
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6672
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6673
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6674
testing. (Robert Collins)
6676
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6677
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6679
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6680
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6681
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6682
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6683
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6684
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6685
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6687
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6688
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6689
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6690
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6692
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6693
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6695
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6696
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6717
********************
6719
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6720
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6721
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6722
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6723
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6724
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6725
and unlock() like so::
6727
work_tree.lock_read()
6729
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6735
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6736
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6738
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6739
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6740
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6742
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6743
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6744
too. (Robert Collins)
6749
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6750
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6753
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6754
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6756
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6757
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6759
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6760
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6761
understanding what changes have occurred
6762
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6764
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6765
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6766
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6768
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6769
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6770
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6771
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6773
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6779
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6780
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6781
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6782
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6783
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6785
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6786
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6787
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6789
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6790
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6792
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6796
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6797
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6799
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6800
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6802
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6803
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6805
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6806
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6808
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6809
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6811
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6812
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6813
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6816
####################
6821
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6822
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6823
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6824
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6825
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6827
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6828
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6829
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6831
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6832
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6837
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6838
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6839
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6841
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6842
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6843
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

6855
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)

6867
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

Notes When Upgrading
6874
********************
6876
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6877
it could be recovered again.
6878
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6879
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6880
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6882
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6884
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6885
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6890
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6891
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6893
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6894
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6895
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6896
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6898
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6899
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6901
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6902
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6903
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6905
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6906
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6907
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6909
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6910
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6911
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6913
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6914
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6917
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6920
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6921
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6922
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6923
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6925
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6928
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6929
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6930
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6933
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6934
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6936
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6937
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6939
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6940
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6941
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6942
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6945
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6946
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6948
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6949
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6951
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6952
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6953
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6955
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6956
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6957
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6959
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6960
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6961
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6963
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6964
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6965
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6966
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6968
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6969
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6970
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6971
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6973
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6974
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6975
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6976
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6977
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6978
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6979
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6980
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6987
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6988
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6990
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6991
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6992
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6993
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6994
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6996
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6997
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6999
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7000
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7002
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7003
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7005
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7006
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7008
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7009
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7010
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7013
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7014
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7015
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7016
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7017
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7020
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7021
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7022
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7024
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7025
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7028
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7029
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7030
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7033
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7034
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7035
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7036
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7037
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7039
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7040
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7041
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7042
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7044
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7045
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7047
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7048
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7049
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7050
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7051
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7052
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7054
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7055
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7057
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7058
help. (Robert Collins)
7060
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7061
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7063
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7064
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7065
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7066
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7067
(John Arbash Meinel)
7069
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7070
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7071
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7072
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7073
useful. (Robert Collins)
7075
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7081
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7082
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7084
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7085
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7087
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7088
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7089
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7091
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7094
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7095
the file, and does it faster.
7096
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7098
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7099
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7100
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7102
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7103
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7104
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7105
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7107
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7108
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7109
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7110
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7112
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7113
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7115
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7116
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7117
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7118
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7121
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7123
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7124
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7126
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7127
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7129
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7130
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7131
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7132
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7136
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7142
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7143
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7144
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7146
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7147
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7149
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7150
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7151
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7152
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7153
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7154
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7155
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7156
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7158
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7159
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7160
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7162
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7163
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7164
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7165
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7166
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7168
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7170
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7171
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7172
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7174
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7175
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7184
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7187
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7188
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7191
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7192
#######################
7197
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7198
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7204
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7205
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7206
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7207
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7208
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7209
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7210
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7211
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7217
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7218
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7219
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7221
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7222
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7225
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7226
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7227
(John Arbash Meinel)
7229
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7230
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7231
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7232
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7233
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7238
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7241
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7242
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7244
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7245
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7247
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7248
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7249
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7251
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7252
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7254
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7255
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7256
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7257
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7258
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7260
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7261
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7262
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7264
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

7270
Notes When Upgrading
7271
********************
7273
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7274
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7275
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7280
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7281
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7283
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7284
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7286
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7288
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7289
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7291
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7292
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7297
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7303
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7304
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7305
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7306
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7308
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7309
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7311
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7312
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7314
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7317
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7318
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7321
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7322
#######################
7327
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7328
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7329
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7330
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7331
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7332
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7334
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7335
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7336
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7337
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7338
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7339
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7341
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7343
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7344
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7345
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7346
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7347
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7348
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7349
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7350
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7355
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7356
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7358
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7359
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7360
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7361
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7363
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7364
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7365
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7366
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7367
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7369
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7372
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7375
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7378
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7379
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7382
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7385
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7386
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7388
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7389
directory. (Martin Pool)
7391
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7392
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7393
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7394
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7396
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7397
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7398
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7399
in docs/configuration.txt.
7401
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7402
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7405
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7406
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7407
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7408
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7409
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7410
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7412
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7413
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7415
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7416
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7418
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7424
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7425
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7426
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7427
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7428
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7429
(John Arbash Meinel)
7431
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7432
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7435
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7436
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7437
(John Arbash Meinel)
7439
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7440
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7441
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7442
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7443
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7444
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7446
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7447
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7448
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7450
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7451
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7452
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7453
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7455
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7457
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7458
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7459
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7460
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7462
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7463
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7464
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7465
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7467
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7468
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7469
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7471
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7472
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7473
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7475
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7476
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7477
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7478
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7480
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7481
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7482
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7484
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7485
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7486
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7488
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7489
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7490
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7491
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7492
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7493
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7494
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7495
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees

7497
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7498
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7503
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7504
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7505
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7507
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7510
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7511
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7512
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7513
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7515
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7516
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7519
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7520
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7522
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7524
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7525
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7526
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7528
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7529
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7531
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7534
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
7537
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
7538
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
7540
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
7542
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
7543
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
7548
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
7549
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

####################
7558
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
7563
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
7564
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
7565
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
7567
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
7568
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
7569
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
7572

#######################
7578
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7579
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7580
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7581
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7583
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7586
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7587
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7588
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7590
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7591
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7593
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7596
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7597
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7598
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7599
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7600
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7601
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7603
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7604
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7605
should enable you to do::
7607
[/home/user/project]
7608
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7609
push_location:policy = appendpath
7611
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7612
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7615
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7616
for each file. For example::
7618
$ bzr status --short
7624
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7625
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7627
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7629
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7630
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7632
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7637
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7638
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7639
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7640
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7642
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7643
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7644
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7646
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7648
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7649
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7650
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7651
(Alexander Belchenko)
7653
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7656
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7657
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7659
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7664
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7665
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7667
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7668
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7669
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7670
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7671
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7673
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7674
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7676
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7677
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7679
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7681
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7683
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7684
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7685
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7686
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7687
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7689
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7690
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7691
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7692
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7694
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7695
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7697
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7698
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
7700
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
7701
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
7703
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
7721
(Daniel Silverstone)
7723
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7724
operations are substantially faster.
7725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
7727
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
7728
tree from some other url. For example:
7729
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7730
(Daniel Silverstone)
7732
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7733
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7734
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7735
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7737
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7740
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7741
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7742
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7743
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7744
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7745
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7750
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7751
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7754
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7755
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7756
(John Arbash Meinel)
7758
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7759
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7760
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7761
(John Arbash Meinel)
7763
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7764
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7766
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7767
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7769
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7770
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7776
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7777
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7778
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7780
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7781
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7782
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7783
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7785
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7787
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7788
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7790
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7791
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7792
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7795
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7796
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7797
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7799
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7800
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7801
them as full references rather than integers.
7802
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7804
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7805
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7807
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7809
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
7810
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
7812
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7813
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7815
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7816
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7817
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7818
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7820
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7821
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7822
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7824
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7825
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7827
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7828
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7829
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7830
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

7855
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7856
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7857
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7858
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7860
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7861
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7863
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7865
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7866
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7867
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7868
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7870
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7871
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7872
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7873
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7874
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7879
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7880
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7885
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7886
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7887
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7889
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7890
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7891
(John Arbash Meinel)
7893
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7894
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7895
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7897
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7898
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7901
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7902
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7903
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7905
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7906
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7907
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7908
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7909
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7910
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7912
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7913
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7914
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7917
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7918
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7923
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7924
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7925
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7928
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7929
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7931
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7932
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7933
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7935
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7936
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7938
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7939
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7940
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7941
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7943
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7944
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7946
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7947
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7948
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7950
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7951
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7953
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7955
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7956
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7962
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7963
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7964
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7965
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7994
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7995
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7996
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7997
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when

* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8007
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8008
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8010
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8011
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8012
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8015
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand

8017
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8026
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary

8028
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

8034
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a

specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8037
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)

some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8071
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8073
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8074
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8076
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8077
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8078
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8079
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8081
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8082
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8083
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8085
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8086
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8091
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8096
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8097
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8098
(John Arbash Meinel)
8100
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8101
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8102
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8103
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8105
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8108
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8109
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8110
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8112
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8113
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8115
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8116
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8117
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8119
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8120
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8121
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8122
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8123
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8124
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8125
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8126
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8127
caller to repeat their request.
8128
(John Arbash Meinel)
8130
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8131
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8133
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8134
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8136
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8137
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8138
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8139
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8140
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8141
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8142
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8144
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8145
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8146
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8147
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8148
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8149
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8150
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8151
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8154
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8155
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8156
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8158
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8159
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8161
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8162
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8164
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8165
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8170
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8171
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8173
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8174
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8175
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8177
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8178
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8179
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8182
####################
8186
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8187
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8189
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8190
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8191
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8192
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8193
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8195
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8196
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8197
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8199
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8200
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8202
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8203
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8204
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8209
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8211
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8212
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8213
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8215
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8217
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8219
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8220
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8221
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8222
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8224
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8225
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8226
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8227
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8228
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8230
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8231
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8233
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8234
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8236
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8237
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8239
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8240
in handling of revision properties.
8241
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8243
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8244
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8249
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8250
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8251
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8252
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8253
(John Arbash Meinel)
8255
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8256
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8257
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8259
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
8260
#####################
8265
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8266
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8267
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8268
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8269
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8270
a more conservative list than the old default.
8271
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8272
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8273
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8274
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8276
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8277
to more locations than just branch locations.
8283
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8284
revno:N:branch. For example,
8285
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8286
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8288
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8289
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8290
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8291
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8292
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8293
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8294
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8295
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8298
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8299
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8300
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8303
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8304
(Alexander Belchenko)
8306
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8308
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8311
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8312
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8313
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8314
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8315
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8316
(John Arbash Meinel)
8318
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8319
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8320
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8321
grained analysis of performance.
8322
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8324
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8325
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8327
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8328
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8329
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8330
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8331
file. (Robert Collins).
8333
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8334
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8335
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8337
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8338
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8341
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8342
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8344
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8345
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8346
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8347
the same way you would apply another branch.
8348
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8350
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8351
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8353
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8356
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8359
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8360
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8361
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8363
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8364
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8365
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8367
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8368
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8370
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8371
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8372
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8373
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8374
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8376
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8377
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8379
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8380
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8381
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8382
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8383
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8384
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8385
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8386
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8388
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8389
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8390
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8395
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8397
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8399
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8400
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8402
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8403
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8405
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8406
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8408
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8410
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8411
(John Arbash Meinel)
8413
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8414
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8416
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8417
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8420
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8421
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8423
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8424
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8426
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8427
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8428
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8429
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8431
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8432
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8434
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8436
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8437
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8439
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8441
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8443
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8444
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8446
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8447
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8449
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8450
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8451
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8453
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8454
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8455
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8457
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8458
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8460
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8461
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8463
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8464
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8466
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8467
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8469
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8470
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8472
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8473
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8474
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8476
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8478
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8479
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8484
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8485
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8486
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8488
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8489
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8491
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8492
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8493
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8495
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8496
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8498
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8499
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8502
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8503
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8504
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8506
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8507
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8508
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8510
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8511
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8512
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8514
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8515
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8516
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8518
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8519
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8520
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8522
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8523
instead. (Robert Collins)
8525
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

8580
provides a human description of the changes between two old and

Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8596
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8597
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8598
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8599
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8600
will keep the same format.
8602
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8603
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8604
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8605
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8606
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8608
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8609
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8610
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8611
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8612
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8613
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8614
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8616
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8617
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8618
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8619
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8620
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8622
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8623
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8624
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8631
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8632
convention. Paths now take the form::
8634
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8636
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8638
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8639
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8641
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8642
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8643
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8645
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8646
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8647
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8648
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8650
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8651
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8652
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8654
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8656
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8658
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8659
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8662
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8663
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8666
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8668
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8669
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8670
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8673
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8675
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8677
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8680
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8681
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8683
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8684
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8687
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8688
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8691
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8693
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8695
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8696
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8698
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8699
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8700
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8701
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8702
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8703
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8705
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8707
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8708
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8711
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8712
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8714
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8715
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8717
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8719
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8720
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8721
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8722
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8723
specification by Martin Pool.
8724
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8726
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8729
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8730
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8732
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8733
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8734
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8736
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8738
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8739
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8745
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8746
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8748
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8750
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8752
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8755
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8756
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8757
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8758
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8763
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8764
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8765
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8766
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8768
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8769
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8770
tried. (Martin Pool)
8772
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8775
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8777
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8778
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8779
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8781
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8782
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8784
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8785
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8786
paths. (Robert Collins)
8788
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8789
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8790
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8792
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8793
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8794
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8796
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8797
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8798
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8800
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8803
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8806
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8808
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8810
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8811
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8812
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8815
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8816
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8818
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8819
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8820
check. (Robert Collins)
8822
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8823
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8828
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8829
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8831
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8832
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8833
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8834
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8836
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8837
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8838
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8839
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8840
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8842
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8843
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8844
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8846
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8848
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8849
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8857
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8858
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8860
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8861
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8862
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8865
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8866
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8868
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8869
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8870
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8871
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8872
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8874
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8875
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8876
used. (Robert Collins)
8878
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8879
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8882
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8883
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8884
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8886
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8889
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8890
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8895
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8896
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8898
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8900
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8902
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8903
tree. (Robert Collins)
8905
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8906
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8907
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8910
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8913
* Tweaks to short log printing
8915
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8918
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8919
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8921
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8922
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8924
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8925
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8927
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8928
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8929
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8931
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8932
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8934
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8935
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8938
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8939
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8941
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8942
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8944
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8945
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8947
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8950
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8951
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8953
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8954
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8956
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8957
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8958
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8963
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8965
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8967
* Error when run with -OO
8969
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8972
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8974
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8976
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8977
ignored by diff and status
8979
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8980
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8982
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8984
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8986
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8987
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8989
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8990
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8992
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8995
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8996
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8998
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9000
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9001
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9003
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9006
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9007
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9009
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9014
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9015
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9017
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9019
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9021
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9023
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9024
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9025
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9027
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9029
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9030
(John Arbash Meinel)
9032
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9034
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9035
If adding a new test script please add that to
9036
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9038
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9039
imported. (Martin Pool)
9041
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9042
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9043
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9044
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9045
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9048
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9049
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9050
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9052
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9053
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9054
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9056
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9057
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9058
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9059
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9060
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9063
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9064
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9070
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9071
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9073
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9074
function. (Robert Collins)
9076
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9077
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9078
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9080
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9081
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9084
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9085
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9086
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9087
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9088
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9089
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9090
version. (Robert Collins)
9092
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9093
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9095
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9096
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9097
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9098
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9099
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9100
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9102
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9105
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9115
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9117
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9119
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9122
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9123
query method. (Robert Collins)
9125
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9128
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9131
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9134
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9135
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9136
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9137
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9139
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9140
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9141
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9142
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9144
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9145
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9153
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9156
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9160
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9161
a separator, not ':'.
9164
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9165
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9166
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9168
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9169
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9172
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9173
has been added that suppresses all output.
9175
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9178
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9179
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9181
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9182
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9184
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9185
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9187
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9188
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9189
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9190
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9192
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9194
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9195
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9197
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9198
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9200
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9201
output directory, if one was supplied.
9203
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9204
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9205
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9206
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9208
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9210
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9211
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9213
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9214
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9215
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9217
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9218
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9220
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9223
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9225
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9230
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9231
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9232
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9234
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9235
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9236
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9238
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9239
is given. (Martin Pool)
9241
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9242
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9243
file. (Robert Collins)
9245
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9251
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9252
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9253
representation. (Martin Pool).
9255
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9256
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9257
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9259
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9262
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9263
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9266
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9267
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9268
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9269
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9270
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9272
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9273
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9274
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9275
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9276
python path. (Robert Collins)
9278
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9279
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9280
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9281
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9283
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9284
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9286
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9287
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9290
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9291
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9292
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9294
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9295
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9296
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9298
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9299
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9301
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9302
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9303
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9306
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9307
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9308
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9309
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9312
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9315
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9316
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9319
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9320
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9321
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9323
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9324
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9325
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9327
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9328
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9329
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9331
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9332
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9334
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9335
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9336
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9337
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9338
caller. (Robert Collins)
9340
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9341
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9344
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9345
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9348
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9350
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9351
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9356
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9357
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9359
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9360
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
9369
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9370
allow directories to be listed.
9372
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9373
upgrading branch format.
9378
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9387
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9388
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9389
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9390
high-latency connections.
9395
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9398
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9399
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9401
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9402
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9403
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9404
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9406
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9407
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9409
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9410
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9412
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9413
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9414
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9416
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9417
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9418
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9421
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9422
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9424
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9425
different partial views of history.
9427
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9428
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9433
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9434
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9435
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9437
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9438
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9441
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9442
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9444
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9447
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9448
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9450
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9451
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9452
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9453
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9455
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9457
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9458
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9461
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9462
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9464
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9465
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9466
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9472
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9473
for your viewing pleasure.
9475
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9476
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9478
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9479
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9480
handling of such circumstances.
9482
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9483
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9484
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9486
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9488
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9489
we call them revisions not patches.
9491
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9492
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9494
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9495
giving the revision *of that file*.
9497
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9498
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9499
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9504
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9505
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9507
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9508
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

9524
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
9526
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
9527
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9532
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9533
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9535
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9536
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
9537
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9538
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
9542
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.

9559
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9560
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9561
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9562
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9565
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9568
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9569
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9570
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9571
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9572
for the operating system is still tried.
9574
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9575
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9576
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9582

####################
9610
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to

help with intelligent shell completion.
9613
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
9619
* Much better merge support.
9621
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
9622
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things

* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
9630
mention revisions that are not present.

* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
9645
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need

9665
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
9666
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
9668
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
9670
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
9671
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
9673
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
9676
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
9678
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
9681
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9682
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9684
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9685
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9686
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9692
* Faster working tree operations.
9698
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9699
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9700
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9701
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9703
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9704
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9705
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9706
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9707
standard plugins directory.
9709
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9710
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9711
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9712
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9714
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9715
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9717
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9720
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9721
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9722
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9724
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9725
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9727
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9728
line options must come before the command name because they
9729
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9730
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9733
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
9735
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

#####################
9751
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9752
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9754
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9755
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9756
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9757
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9759
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9760
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9761
with the ``--forward`` option.
9763
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9764
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9771
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9772
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9774
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9776
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9777
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9779
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9781
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9782
either read or write mode.
9784
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9786
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that

* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9791
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9792
suggested by LarstiQ.
9794
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9795
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.

* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9800
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9801
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9803
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9804
haven't changed since the previous time.
9806
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9807
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9809
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9811
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.

* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9814
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9816

9817
options through to an external GNU diff.

9830
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9832
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9839
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9840
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9844
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9846
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9847
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9849
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9850
under a different version.
9852
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9858
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
9860
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9861
Scott James Remnant.
9863
* Better help messages for many commands.
9865
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9866
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9868
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden

command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9871
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9873
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
