.. contents:: List of Releases
15
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
16
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
17
(Martin Pool, #409137)
22
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
23
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
32
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
33
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
34
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
35
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
36
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
44
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
45
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
46
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
47
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
48
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
50
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
51
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
53
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
54
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
56
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
57
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
58
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
59
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
61
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
62
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
63
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
65
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
66
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
71
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
72
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
73
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
74
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
75
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
86
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
87
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
88
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
89
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
90
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
91
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
93
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
94
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
95
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
96
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
98
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
99
protocols. (Robert Collins)
101
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
102
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
103
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. This is not fully exposed to the
104
higher levels yet, but has the potential to improve grabbing the full
105
ancestry tremendously. (Time to get ancestry for bzr.dev drops from 1.5s
106
down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John Arbash Meinel)
111
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
112
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
121
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
122
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
123
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
124
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
125
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
126
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
128
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
129
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
130
or until the following stable release.
136
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
137
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
139
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
140
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
141
(Martin Pool, #391411)
146
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
147
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
148
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
150
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
151
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
152
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
153
(Martin Pool, #123688)
155
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
156
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
157
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
158
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
160
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
161
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
163
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
164
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
165
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
166
(Robert Collins, #282402)
168
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
169
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
171
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
172
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
174
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
175
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
176
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
177
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
178
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
180
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
181
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
182
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
184
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
185
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
186
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
187
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
188
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
190
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
191
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
193
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
194
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
195
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
197
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
198
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
199
(Martin Pool, #408201)
201
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
202
(Martin Pool, #403523)
204
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
205
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
206
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
208
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
209
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
211
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
212
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
214
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
215
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
217
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
218
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
219
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
221
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
222
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
223
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
225
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
226
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
228
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
229
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
230
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
231
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
232
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
233
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
235
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
236
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
237
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
239
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
240
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
241
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
242
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
244
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
245
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
246
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
247
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
248
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
250
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
251
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
252
(Robert Collins, #187207)
257
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
260
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
261
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
262
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
263
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
265
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
266
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
272
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
277
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
278
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
279
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
280
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
281
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
282
passwords. (Martin Pool)
284
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
287
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
290
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
294
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
295
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
300
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
301
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
302
paths. (Robert Collins)
304
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
305
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
307
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
308
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
309
disk. (Robert Collins)
311
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
314
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
315
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
316
(Alexander Belchenko)
322
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
323
(Martin Pool, #409684)
325
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
326
(Martin Pool, #408199)
328
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
329
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
330
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
331
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
332
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
333
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.17 "So late it's brunch" 2009-07-20
337
#########################################
338
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
343
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
344
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
347
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
348
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
349
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
350
annoying progress bar artifacts.
353
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
354
*********************************
356
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
357
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
358
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
360
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
361
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
362
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
364
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
365
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
371
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
372
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
373
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
374
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
380
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
381
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
382
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
383
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
385
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
386
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
387
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
389
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
390
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
391
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
395
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
396
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
397
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
398
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
404
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
405
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
407
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
408
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
409
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
410
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
412
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
413
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
415
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
416
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
417
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
419
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
420
(Martin Pool, #321935)
422
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
423
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
425
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
426
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
428
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
429
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
430
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
432
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
435
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
436
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
438
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
439
of a remote repository.
440
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
442
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
443
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
446
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
448
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
450
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
451
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
453
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
454
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
456
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
457
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
458
(Martin Pool, #339385)
460
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
461
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
462
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
463
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
466
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
467
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
468
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
470
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
471
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
472
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
473
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
474
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
475
(Robert Collins, #376243)
477
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
478
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
479
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
480
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
481
activity display respectively.
482
(Martin Pool, #340347)
484
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
485
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
487
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
490
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
491
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
497
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
498
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
499
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
500
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
502
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
503
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
504
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
505
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
508
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
509
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
511
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
512
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
513
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
514
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
515
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
516
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
518
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
519
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
520
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
521
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
523
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
524
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
525
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
529
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
530
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
531
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
532
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
538
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
539
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
540
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
541
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
543
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
544
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
545
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
547
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
550
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
551
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
553
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
554
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
555
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
557
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
558
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
559
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
560
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
562
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
568
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
569
formatting in the user reference.
570
(Martin Pool, #249908)
572
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
578
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
581
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
582
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
583
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
586
bzr 1.16.1 2009-06-26
587
#####################
589
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
590
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
591
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
594
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
595
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
596
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
598
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
599
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
604
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
605
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
607
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
608
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
609
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
611
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
612
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
613
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
614
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
615
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
616
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
617
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
619
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
620
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
621
converted data. (Robert Collins)
623
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
624
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
625
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
627
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
628
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
629
that. (Robert Collins)
631
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
632
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
633
repository. (Robert Collins)
635
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
636
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
637
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
638
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:Codename: yesterday-in-california
648
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
649
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
650
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
651
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
653
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
654
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
655
bug fixes and improvements.
658
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
659
*********************************
661
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
662
2a can work correctly.
663
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
665
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
666
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
667
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
673
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
674
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
681
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
682
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
683
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
684
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
685
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
686
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
689
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
690
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
691
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
692
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
694
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
695
and more concisely repacks the full history.
697
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
698
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
700
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
701
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
702
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
704
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
705
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
711
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
712
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
713
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
715
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
716
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
717
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
718
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
719
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
721
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
722
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
723
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
724
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
726
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
727
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
733
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
734
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
735
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
736
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
742
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
743
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
745
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
746
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
748
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
749
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
750
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
752
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
753
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
755
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
756
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
757
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
759
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
760
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
761
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
764
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
765
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
767
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
768
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
770
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
771
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
773
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
774
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
775
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
776
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
777
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
778
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
780
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
782
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
783
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
785
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
786
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
788
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
789
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
790
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
791
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
792
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
794
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
795
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
796
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
797
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
802
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
803
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
809
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
811
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
812
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
813
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
815
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
816
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
817
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
819
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
820
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
822
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
823
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
828
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
829
repositories. (Martin Pool)
834
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
836
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
838
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
847
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
848
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
849
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
850
revisions introduce the exact same line.
852
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
853
*****************************
855
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
856
(Alexander Belchenko)
858
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
859
*********************************
861
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
862
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
863
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
864
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
866
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
867
*********************************
874
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
875
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
876
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
877
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
882
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
883
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
886
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
887
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
888
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
889
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
891
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
892
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
893
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
894
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
896
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
897
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
900
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
901
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
902
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
907
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
908
server. (Jonathan Lange)
910
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
911
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
913
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
914
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
915
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
917
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
922
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
923
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
925
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
927
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
928
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
930
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
931
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
933
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
934
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
936
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
937
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
938
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
939
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
941
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
944
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
945
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
947
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
948
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
950
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
951
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
953
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
954
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
956
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
959
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
960
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
962
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
963
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
964
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
965
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
966
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
967
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
968
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
969
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
970
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
971
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
972
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
973
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
974
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
975
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
977
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
978
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
979
(Robert Collins, #368921)
981
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
982
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
990
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
991
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
992
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
994
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
995
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
996
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
997
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
998
(Alexander Belchenko)
1003
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1004
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1005
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1007
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1008
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1011
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1012
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1013
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1014
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1015
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1017
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1018
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1019
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1021
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1022
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1023
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1024
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1026
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1027
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1028
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1030
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1031
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1033
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1034
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1035
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1036
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1038
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1039
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1040
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1042
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1043
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1045
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1046
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1047
branches. (Robert Collins)
1049
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1050
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1052
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1057
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1058
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1109
********************
1111
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1112
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1113
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1114
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1115
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1117
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1118
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1119
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1121
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1122
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1123
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1124
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1125
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1130
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1131
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1132
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1133
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1134
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1137
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1140
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1141
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1143
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1144
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1145
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1146
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1147
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1149
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1150
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1152
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1155
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1156
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1157
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1158
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1161
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1162
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1163
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1164
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1165
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1167
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1168
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1171
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1177
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1178
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1179
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1181
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1182
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1183
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1184
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1185
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1187
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1188
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1191
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1192
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1193
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1195
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1198
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1201
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1202
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1204
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1205
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1207
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1208
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1210
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1211
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1214
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1215
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1216
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1218
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1219
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1220
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1223
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1224
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1225
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1226
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1228
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1229
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1230
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1231
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1232
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1233
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1234
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1235
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1236
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1238
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1244
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1245
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1246
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1247
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1248
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1249
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1250
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1252
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1253
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1255
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1256
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1257
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1258
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1260
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1261
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1263
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1265
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1268
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1269
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1270
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1272
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1273
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1275
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1276
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1278
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1279
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1280
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1282
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1283
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1284
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1285
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1287
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1289
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1292
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1293
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1294
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1295
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1296
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1298
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1299
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1300
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1301
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1302
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1303
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1304
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1306
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1307
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1309
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1310
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1313
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1314
(James Westby, #341558)
1316
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1317
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1319
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1320
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1325
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1327
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1329
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1330
(James Westby, #336998)
1335
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1338
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1339
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1342
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1343
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1346
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1347
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1348
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1350
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1351
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1352
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1354
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1355
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1356
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1357
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1360
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1361
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1364
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1367
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1368
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1370
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1371
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1372
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1373
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1375
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1376
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1377
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1382
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1383
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1384
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1385
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1386
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1388
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1391
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1392
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1393
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1394
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1400
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1401
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1403
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1404
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1406
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1407
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1408
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1410
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1411
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1412
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1413
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1415
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1416
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1417
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1418
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1420
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1421
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1422
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1424
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1425
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1426
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1428
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1429
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1430
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1432
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1433
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1436
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1437
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1438
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1440
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1441
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1443
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1444
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1445
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1447
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1448
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1451
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1452
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1453
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1455
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1456
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1457
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1458
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1459
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1461
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1462
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1463
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1464
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1466
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1467
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1468
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1469
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1471
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1472
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1473
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1475
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1476
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1479
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1480
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1481
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1483
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1484
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1485
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1486
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1487
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1489
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1490
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1491
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1494
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1495
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1496
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1497
desired. (Robert Collins)
1499
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1500
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1501
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1502
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1504
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1505
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1506
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1523
*****************************
1525
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1526
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1527
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1528
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1529
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1530
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1536
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1537
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1538
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1540
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1541
********************************
1543
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1544
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1545
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1550
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1551
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1553
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1554
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1556
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1557
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1559
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1561
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1562
*********************************
1564
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1565
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1566
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1568
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1569
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1571
Compatibility Breaks
1572
********************
1574
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1575
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1576
command may need to be adjusted.
1577
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1582
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1583
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1584
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1586
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1589
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1590
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1591
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1594
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1595
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1597
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1598
(John Arbash Meinel)
1600
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1601
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1603
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1605
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1606
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1609
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1615
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1616
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1617
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1618
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1619
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1620
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1621
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1622
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1625
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1626
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1628
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1629
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1630
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1632
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1633
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1635
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1636
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1637
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1640
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1641
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1642
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1644
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1645
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1646
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1647
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1649
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1652
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1653
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1655
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1656
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1658
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1659
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1660
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1662
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1667
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1668
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1670
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1671
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1672
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1674
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1675
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1678
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1679
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1681
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1682
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1685
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1686
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1687
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1689
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1690
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1692
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1693
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1695
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1696
(James Westby, #174539)
1698
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1699
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1701
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1702
error branching from old repositories.
1703
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1705
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1706
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1708
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1709
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1710
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1711
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1713
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1714
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1717
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1718
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1720
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1721
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1723
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1724
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1725
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1727
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1728
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1730
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1731
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1736
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1737
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1738
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1741
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1742
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1744
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1745
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1750
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1751
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1752
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1753
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1754
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1756
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1757
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1759
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1760
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1761
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1762
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1763
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1764
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1766
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1767
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1769
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1770
"author" argument being deprecated.
1772
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1774
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1775
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1776
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1777
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1779
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1780
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1781
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1783
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1784
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1785
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1787
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1788
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1790
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1791
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1792
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1793
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1798
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1799
free of virtual file system methods.
1800
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1802
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1803
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1804
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1806
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1807
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1808
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1809
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1810
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1811
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1813
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1815
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1816
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1818
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1819
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1820
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1821
stream the operation.
1822
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1824
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1825
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1827
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1828
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1829
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1830
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1831
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1833
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1834
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1836
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1837
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1838
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1840
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1841
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1844
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1847
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1848
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1849
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1851
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1852
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1853
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1855
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1856
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1857
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1859
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1860
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1861
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1863
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1864
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1865
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1866
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1867
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1869
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1870
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1871
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1872
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1873
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1874
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1876
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1877
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1878
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1879
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1880
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1882
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1883
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1885
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1886
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1888
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1889
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1890
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1891
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1892
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1894
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1895
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
1904
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
1906
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1907
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1908
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1909
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1910
by showing the rate of network IO.
1912
Changes from RC1 to Final
1913
*************************
1915
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1916
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1918
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1919
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1921
Compatibility Breaks
1922
********************
1924
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1925
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1926
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1927
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1929
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1930
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1931
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1934
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1935
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1936
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1937
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1939
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1940
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1941
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1944
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1949
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1950
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1951
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1954
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1955
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1956
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1958
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1959
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1960
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1961
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1962
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1963
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1964
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1965
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1966
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1972
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1975
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1978
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1979
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1980
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1982
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1983
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1984
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1985
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1986
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1988
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1989
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1991
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1992
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1993
level for better precision.
1996
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1997
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1999
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2000
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2001
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2003
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2004
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2005
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2008
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2009
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2010
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2015
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2017
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2019
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2020
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2021
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2023
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2024
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2025
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2026
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2027
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2028
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2030
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2031
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2033
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2034
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2036
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2037
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2038
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2040
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2041
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2042
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2045
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2046
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2048
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2049
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2050
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2051
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2053
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2054
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2056
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2058
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2063
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2068
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2069
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2072
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2073
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2075
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2076
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2078
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2079
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2081
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2082
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2083
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2084
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2086
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2087
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2088
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2093
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2094
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2095
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2096
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2097
compile buffers, are such an example).
2100
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2101
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2104
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2105
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2106
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2109
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2110
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2112
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2113
formatters to retrict the output.
2117

##############################
2120
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2121
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2122
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2123
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2124
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2126
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2127
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2130
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2131
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2136
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2139
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2140
(John Arbash Meinel)
2144
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
2145
#################################
2150
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2151
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2156
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2157
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2159
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2160
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2161
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2162
implement other plugins.
2165
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2171
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2172
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2174
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2175
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2177
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2178
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2179
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2180
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2183
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2184
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2185
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2186
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2187
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2189
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2190
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2191
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2192
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2193
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2198
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2199
control directory. (#139691)
2201
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2202
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2204
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2205
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2207
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2208
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2209
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2211
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2212
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2214
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2215
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2216
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2218
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2219
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2221
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2224
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2225
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2226
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2228
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2229
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2231
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2232
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2233
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2235
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2236
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2237
in the appropriate sections.
2238
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2240
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2241
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2242
(John Arbash meinel)
2244
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2247
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2250
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2251
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2253
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2254
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2255
work better with how it splits its requests.
2256
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2258
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2259
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2260
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2262
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2265
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2270
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2276
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2277
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2278
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2284
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2285
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2286
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2287
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2289
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2290
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2292
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2293
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2294
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2295
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2297
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2298
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2299
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2300
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2305
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2306
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2307
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2309
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2310
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2311
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2312
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2314
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2315
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2316
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2322
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2323
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2324
(John Arbash Meinel)
2326
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2327
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2328
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2329
(John Arbash Meinel)
2331
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2332
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2333
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2334
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2336
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2337
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2338
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2340
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2341
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2342
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2343
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2345
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2346
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2347
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2348
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2349
(John Arbash Meinel)
2351
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2352
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2354
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2355
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2356
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2358
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2359
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2360
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2361
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2363
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2364
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2365
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2366
(John Arbash Meinel)
2368
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2369
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2370
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2371
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2372
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2373
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2374
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2376
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2377
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2384
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2385
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2386
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2387
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2390
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2395
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2396
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2397
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2398
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2400
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2401
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2402
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2403
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2404
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2407
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
2408
######################
2410
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2411
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2412
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2413
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2414
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2419
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2420
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2422
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2428
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2429
history just to set the last revision info.
2430
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2432
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2433
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2434
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2435
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2437
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2438
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2439
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2440
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2441
(John Arbash Meinel)
2443
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2444
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2446
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2447
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2448
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2449
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2450
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2452
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2453
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2454
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2455
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2460
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2461
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2463
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2464
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2466
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2467
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2468
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2469
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2471
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2472
starting with a dotted revno.
2473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2475
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2476
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2477
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2479
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2480
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2481
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2483
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2484
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2485
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2487
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2488
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2489
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2490
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2492
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2493
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2494
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2496
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2497
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2502
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2503
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2504
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2505
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2507
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2508
have changed incompatibly.
2510
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2511
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2512
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2513
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2514
don't need to change.
2516
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2517
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2522
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2523
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2525
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2531
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2532
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2533
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2534
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2535
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2536
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2541
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2542
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2544
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2546
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2547
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

2552
#####################
2557
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2558
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2560
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2561
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2562
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2563
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2568
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2569
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2570
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2571
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2572
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2573
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2575
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2576
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2578
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2579
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2580
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2582
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2583
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2584
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2587
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2588
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2590
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2591
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2593
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2594
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2596
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2597
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2598
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2599
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2600
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2601
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2602
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2603
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2604
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2605
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2610
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2611
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2613
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2614
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2616
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2617
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2618
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2620
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2621
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2622
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2624
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2625
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2626
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2628
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2629
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2630
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2631
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2632
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2633
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2635
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2636
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2638
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2639
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2641
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2642
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2643
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2644
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2645
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2647
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2648
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2649
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2650
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2655
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2660
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2665
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2666
configuration of authetication credentials.
2672
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2673
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2674
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2675
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2676
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2681
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2682
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2687
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2688
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2691
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
2692
#####################
2697
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2698
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2699
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2700
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2701
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2703
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2704
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2706
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2707
server. (Marius Kruger)
2709
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2710
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2711
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2712
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2713
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2714
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2719
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2720
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2721
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2728
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2729
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2730
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2731
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2733
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2734
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2737
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2738
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2741
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2744
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2746
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2747
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2749
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2750
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2752
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2753
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2754
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2755
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2756
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2757
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2758
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2759
operations. (Robert Collins)
2761
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2763
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2764
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2765
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2770
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2771
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2772
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2774
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2775
repository now preserves the repository format.
2776
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2778
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2781
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2784
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2788
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2791
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2792
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2793
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2795
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2796
is in a different repository than the current one.
2797
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2799
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2800
(David Futcher, #242106)
2802
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2803
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2805
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2806
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2807
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2808
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2810
* Trivial documentation fix.
2811
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2813
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2814
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2815
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2816
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2821
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2826
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2827
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2828
to use. (Robert Collins)
2830
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2831
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2832
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2834
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2835
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2836
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2837
they want. (Robert Collins)
2842
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2843
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2844
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2846
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2847
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2850
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2853
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2854
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2856
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2862
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2863
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2865
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2866
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2867
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2869
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2870
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2871
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2873
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2874
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2876
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2877
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2879
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2880
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2882
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2883
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2884
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2885
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2900
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2905
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2906
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2907
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2908
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
2915
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2916
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2917
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2918
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2919
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
2920
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
2925

#####################
2933
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
2934
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
2935
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
2936
connect to the stacked-on location.
2941
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2942
repository now preserves the repository format.
2943
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2945
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
2946
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
2948
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
2951
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
2956
#####################
2958
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
2959
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2960
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
2961
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
2962
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
2963
it in a future repository format.
2969
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2972
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2973
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2974
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2976
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2977
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2978
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2983
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2984
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2986
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2991
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2992
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2995
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2996
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2998
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2999
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3002
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3003
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3004
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3005
(John Arbash Meinel)
3007
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3008
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3010
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3011
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3012
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3013
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3014
(John Arbash Meinel)
3016
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3017
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3018
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3019
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3020
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3021
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3022
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3023
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3024
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3025
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3030
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3031
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3033
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3034
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3035
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3037
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3038
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3039
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3041
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3042
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3043
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3044
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3045
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3046
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3048
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3049
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3051
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3052
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3054
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3055
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3056
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3057
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3058
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3059
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3061
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3062
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3064
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3065
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3067
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3068
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3069
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3070
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3072
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3073
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3075
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3076
assuming the host name is ascii.
3077
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3079
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3080
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3085
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3090
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3092
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3093
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3094
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3097
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3098
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3100
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3101
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3103
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3104
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3109
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3110
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3111
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3112
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3114
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3118
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3119
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3120
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3122
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3128
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3129
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3132
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3133
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3134
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3135
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3136
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3138
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3139
is unknown in both source and target.
3140
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3142
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3143
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3144
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3145
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3147
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3148
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3149
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3150
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
3156
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3157
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3158
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3161
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3162
#######################
3167
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3168
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3169
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3170
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3173
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3174
#######################
3176
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3177
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3178
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3179
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3180
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3181
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3182
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3183
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3184
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3185
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3186
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3187
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3192
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3193
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3194
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3195
start of the string (causing more copies).
3196
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3197
especially for projects with large files.
3198
(John Arbash Meinel)
3200
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3201
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3202
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3203
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3204
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3206
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3207
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3208
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3209
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3210
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3211
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3217
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3218
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3219
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3220
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3221
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3222
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3223
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3224
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3225
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3228
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3229
#####################
3234
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3235
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3236
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3237
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3238
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3241
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3242
#####################
3247
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3248
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3249
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3252
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3253
#####################
3258
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3259
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3265
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3266
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3267
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3273
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3274
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3275
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3277
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3278
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3279
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3280
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3281
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3282
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3283
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3286
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3287
#####################
3289
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3295
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3296
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3298
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3299
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3302
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3303
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3304
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3305
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3306
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3308
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3309
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3311
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3312
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3314
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3315
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3317
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3318
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3319
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3320
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3321
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3322
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3325
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3326
#####################
3328
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3329
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3330
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3331
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3332
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3337
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3338
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3339
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3344
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3345
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3347
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3348
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3350
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3351
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3352
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3354
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3357
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3358
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3359
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3360
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3361
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3362
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3363
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3365
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3366
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3367
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3372
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3373
physical repository boundaries.
3374
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3376
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3377
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3379
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3380
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3383
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3386
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3387
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3388
that Python is running from.
3389
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3391
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3392
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3393
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3395
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3396
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3398
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3399
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3400
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3402
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3403
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3405
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3406
(James Westby, #248448)
3411
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3412
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3413
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3416
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3417
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3420
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3421
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3422
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3423
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3424
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3425
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3428
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3429
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3431
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3432
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3433
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3434
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3435
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3436
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3441
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3442
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3443
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3444
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3445
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3446
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3448
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3449
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3450
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3452
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3455
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3456
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3458
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3465
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3466
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3467
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3468
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3474
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3475
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3476
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3478
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3479
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3480
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3481
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3482
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3485
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3487
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3488
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3489
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3495
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3496
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3499
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3500
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3501
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3502
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3504
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3505
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3506
(Christophe Troestler)
3508
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3509
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3511
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3512
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3513
faster. The new request method name is
3514
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3519
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3520
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3521
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3522
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3523
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3525
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3526
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3528
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3529
requires a branch to be present.
3530
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3532
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3534
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3536
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3537
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3538
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3539
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3541
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3542
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3544
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3546
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3548
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3549
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3550
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3551
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3552
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3554
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3555
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3557
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3558
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3560
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3562
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3564
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3565
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3567
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3568
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3573
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3576
* Updated developer documentation.
3582
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3583
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3585
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3586
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3587
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3588
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3593
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3594
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3595
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3596
Repository docstring for more details.
3599
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3600
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3601
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3603
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3604
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3607
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3608
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3609
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3610
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3615
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3616
(Alexander Belchenko)
3618
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3619
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3620
containing a given location.
3623
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3624
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3625
storage. (Robert Collins)
3627
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3630
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3631
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

3636
#######################
3638
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3639
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3640
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3646
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3647
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3648
reading from the repository.)
3649
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3651
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3652
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3654
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3655
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3658
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3659
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3660
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3662
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3663
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3664
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3666
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3667
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3669
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3670
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3671
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3672
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3677
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3679
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3680
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3681
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3684
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3685
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3690
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3695
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3696
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3701
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3702
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3703
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3704
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3705
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3707
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3708
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3713
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3714
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3716
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3717
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
3720
#######################
3723
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3724
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3725
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3726
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3727
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3728
and future extensions.
3731
Notes When Upgrading
3732
********************
3734
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3735
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3736
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3737
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3738
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3739
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3740
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3741
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3746
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3747
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3748
(John Arbash Meinel)
3753
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3754
load. (James Westby)
3759
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3760
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3761
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3762
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3764
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3765
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3766
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3768
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3769
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3771
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3772
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3773
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3775
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3776
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3777
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3778
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3779
step closer to not using full revision history.
3780
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3785
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3786
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3788
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3789
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3791
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3792
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3794
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3795
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3796
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3797
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3799
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3800
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3801
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3802
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3804
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3805
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3806
in use by another process.
3809
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3810
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3811
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3812
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3814
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3815
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3817
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3818
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3821
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3822
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3823
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3825
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3829
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3830
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3832
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3833
under vim on Mac OS X.
3834
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3836
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3837
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3842
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3843
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3845
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3846
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3849
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3850
and about use of Python reprs.
3851
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3853
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3858
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3861
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3862
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3864
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3865
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3870
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3871
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3872
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3873
(John Arbash Meinel)
3878
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3879
instead. (Martin Pool)
3881
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3882
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3883
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3884
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3886
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3887
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3888
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3889
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3890
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3892
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3893
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3894
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3895
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3896
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3897
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3899
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3900
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3903
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3904
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3907
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3908
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3909
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3910
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3912
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3913
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3914
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3916
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3917
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3918
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3919
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3920
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3923
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3924
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3925
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3926
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3929
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3930
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3931
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3932
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3933
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3935
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3942
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3943
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3944
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3949
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3950
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3951
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3956
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3957
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

3967
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3968
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3969
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3970
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3975
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3976
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3978
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3979
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3981
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3987
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3990
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3991
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3993
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3994
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3995
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3997
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3998
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3999
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)

* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4004
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4007
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4008
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4010
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4011
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4013
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4014
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4016
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4017
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4020
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.

* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".

if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4028
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4029
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4031
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4032
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4035
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4036
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4037
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4039
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4040
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4041
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4042
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4043
every revision each side had in common.
4044
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4046
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4047
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4049
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4050
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4051
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4052
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4057
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4058
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4059
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4060
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4062
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4064
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4066
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4072
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4073
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4074
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4076
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4077
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4078
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4079
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4081
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4082
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4084
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4085
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4086
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4087
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4089
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4090
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4091
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4092
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4097
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4098
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4099
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4101
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4103
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4104
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4106
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4107
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4109
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4110
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4115
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4116
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4117
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4119
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4120
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4121
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4124
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4125
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4128
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
4135
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4136
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4137
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4138
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4139
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4140
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4141
and faster performance.
4146
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4147

4182
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4184
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4185
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4187
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4188
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4189
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4191
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4192
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4193
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4194
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4195
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4196
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4199
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4200
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4201
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4202
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4207
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4209
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4210
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4211
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4213
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4214
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4215
See the User Reference for signature details.
4216
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4218
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4219
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4224
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4225
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4226
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4227
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4229
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4230
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4232
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4233
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4234
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4237
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4240
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4241
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4242
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4244
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4247
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4248
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4250
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4251
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4253
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4254
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4255
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4257
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4258
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4259
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4260
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4261
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4263
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4264
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4266
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4267
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4272
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4273
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4274
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4275
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4276
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4277
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4279
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4280
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4282
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4283
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4284
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4286
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4287
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4289
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4290
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4291
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4292
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4294
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4295
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4296
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4297
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4298
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4300
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4302
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4303
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4305
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4307
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4308
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4310
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4311
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4316
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4318
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4320
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4322
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4327
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4328
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4329
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4331
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4332
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4333
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4334
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4336
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4337
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4338
release. (James Westby)
4340
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4343
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4345
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4346
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4348
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4349
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4351
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4352
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4354
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4355
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4356
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4358
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4359
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4360
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4361
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4363
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4364
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4365
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4366
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4368
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4369
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4370
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4371
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4372
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4373
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4375
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4376
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4377
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4379
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4380
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4382
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4383
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4386
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4387
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4389
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4390
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4392
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4393
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4395
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4396
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4397
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4399
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4400
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4401
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4402
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4403
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4404
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4409
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4410
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4411
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4412
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4414
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4415
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4416
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4417
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4421
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4422
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4425
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4426
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4428
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4430
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4431
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4432
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4437
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4439
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4442
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4443
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4444
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4445
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4446
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4447
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4449
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4450
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4452
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4453
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4454
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4455
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4457
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4458
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4460
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4461
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4503
********************
4505
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4506
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4511
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4512
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4513
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4514
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4517
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4518
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4519
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4520
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4521
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4522
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4524
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4525
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4526
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4527
(Alexander Belchenko)
4529
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4531
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4532
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4537
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4538
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4540
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4541
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4547
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4549
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4551
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4552
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4553
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4555
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4556
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4558
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4559
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4561
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4562
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4563
(Alexander Belchenko)
4565
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4566
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4567
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4568
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4570
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4573
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4574
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4575
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4576
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4577
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4582
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4583
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4584
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4585
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4587
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4588
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4590
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4591

4613
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4614
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4616
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4617
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4619
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4620
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4622
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4623

4631
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4632
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4637
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4638
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4639
(Alexander Belchenko)
4644
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4646
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4647
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4653
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4654
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4655
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4657
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for

4659
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4660
(Alexander Belchenko)
4662
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4663
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4664
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4665
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4667
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4668
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4669
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.

4674
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4676
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4677
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4678
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4680
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4681
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4682
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4683
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4699
********************
4701
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4702
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4703
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4704
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4705
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4711
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4712
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4714
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4715
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4716
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4718
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4719
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4720
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4721
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4722
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4723
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4729
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4730
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4732
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4733
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4734
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4737
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4738
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4739
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4740
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4741
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4743
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4744
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4745
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4746
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4747
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4748
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4749
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4750
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4755
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4756
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4758
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4759
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4761
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4762
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4764
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4765
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4766
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4768
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4769
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4770
(John Arbash Meinel)
4775
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4776
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4778
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4779
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4781
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4782
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4784
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4785
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4786
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4788
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4789
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4790
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4792
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4793
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4795
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4796
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4797
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4798
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4799
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4801
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4803
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4804
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4807
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4808
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4810
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4811
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4813
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4814
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4816
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4817
more characters which should be considered valid.
4818
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4820
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4821
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4823
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4824
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4829
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4830
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4832
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4833
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4839
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4840
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4846
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4847
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4848
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4850
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4851
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4852
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4854
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4855
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4856
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4857
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4859
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4861
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4862
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4863
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4864
server. (Robert Collins)
4866
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4867
operate. (Robert Collins)
4869
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4870
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4871
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4873
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4874
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4875
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4876
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4878
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4879
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4881
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4882
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4883
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4885
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4886
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4888
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4889
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4891
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4892
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4893
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4894
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

4902
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
4903
#####################
4908
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4909
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4910
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4911
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4913
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4914
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4915
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4916
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4921
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4924
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
4927
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4928
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
4933
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
4936
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
4937
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
4938
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4940
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4942
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4943
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4944
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4945
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4946
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4948
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4949
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4950
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4952
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
4953
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4955
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
4958
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
4960
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4962
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
4965
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
4966
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
4971
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
4972
(Martin Pool, #180208)
4974
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
4975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
4977
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
4980
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
4981
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
4983
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4984
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
4986
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
4987
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4989
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4990
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
4992
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
4993
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
4994
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
4996
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
4997
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
4999
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5000
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5003
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5005
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5006
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5007
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5009
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5010
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5012
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5015
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5018
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5019
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5021
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5024
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5025
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5028
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5029
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5035
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5038
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5039
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5040
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5041
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5042
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5043
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
5045
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
5050
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
5053
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
5054
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
5056
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5058
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5059
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5060
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5063
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5064
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5066
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5075
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5076
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5077
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5079
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5080
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5083
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5084
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5086
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5087
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5089
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5090
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5092
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5093
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5094
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5096
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5097
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5099
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5100
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5102
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5103
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5106
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5107
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5109
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5110
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
5119
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5121
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
5124
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
5126
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
5127
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

5145
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
5147
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
5148

to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5202
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5203
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5204
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5205
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5206
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5207
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``

(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
5238
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
5239
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
5244
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
5245
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
5252
********************
5254
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5255
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5256
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5257
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5259
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5260
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5262
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5263
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5265
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5266
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5267
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5268
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5269
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5270
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5271
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5272
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5273
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5274
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5275
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5276
from any tree without problems.
5277
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5282
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5283
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5284
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5286
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5287
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5293
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5294
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5295
supported transports.
5298
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5299
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5300
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5302
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5303
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5305
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5306
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5307
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5308
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5310
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5311
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5316
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5317
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5318
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5319
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5321
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5322
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5323
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5324
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5326
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5327
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5329
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5330
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5332
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5333
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5335
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5336
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5342
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5345
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5346
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5349
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5350
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5351
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5352
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5354
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5355
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5356
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5357
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5365
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5366
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5368
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5369
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5371
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5372
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5374
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5377
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5378
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5380
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5381
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5383
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5386
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5389
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5392
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5393
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5396
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5397
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5399
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5400
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5402
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5403
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5405
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5408
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5409
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5410
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5411
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5413
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5415
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5416
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5419
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5420
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5422
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5424
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5426
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5427
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5429
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5430
specify a port in urls.
5431
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5433
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5434
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5436
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5437
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5439
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5440
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5442
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5443
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5445
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5446
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5447
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5449
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5451
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5452
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5454
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5457
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5458
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5460
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5461
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5463
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5464
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5465
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5467
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5468
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5470
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5471
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5472
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5473
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5475
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5476
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5478
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5479
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5480
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5482
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5483
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5485
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5488
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5494
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5495
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5497
* The return value of
5498
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5499
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5500
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5501
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5503
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5506
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5507
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5514
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5515
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5516
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5519
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5520
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5522
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5531
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
5534
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
5535
######################
5540
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5541
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5543
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5544
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5545
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5546
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5547
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5548
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5549
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5550
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5551
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5552
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5553
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5554
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5560
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5561
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5562
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5563
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5564
commands. (Robert Collins)
5566
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5567
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5568
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5571
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5573
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5574
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5576
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5577
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5580
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5581
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5582
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5587
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5588
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5590
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5591
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5593
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5594
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5595
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5596
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5598
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5601
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5602
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5603
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5604
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5606
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5607
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5609
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5610
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5612
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5613
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5615
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5616
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5621
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5622
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5624
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5625
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5627
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5628
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5630
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5631
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5633
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5634
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5639
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5641
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5647
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5648
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5649
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5651
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5652
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5654
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5655
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5657
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5658
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5659
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5660
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5662
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5663
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5664
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5665
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5666
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5668
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5669
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5673
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5675
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5676
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5678
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5679
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5681
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5684
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5685
contains a symbolic link.
5686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5688
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5689
(James Westby, #140615)
5691
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5692
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5695
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5696
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5697
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5699
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5701
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5704
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5708
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5709
directory to detect leaking tests.
5710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5712
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5713
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5714
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5716
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5719
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5720
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5722
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5728
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5729
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5731
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5732
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5733
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5735
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5736
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5737
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5739
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5740
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5742
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5743
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5745
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5746
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5749
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5750
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5752
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5753
class that needs it.
5756
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5757
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5759
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5760
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5761
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5763
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5764
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5765
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5768
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5769
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5770
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5771
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5777
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5778
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5779
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5781
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5782
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5783
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5784
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5786
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5787
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5790
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5791
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5792
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5794
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5795
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5796
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5798
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5799
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5801
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5802
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5803
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5805
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5806
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5808
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5809
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5810
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5812
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5813
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5814
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5816
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5817
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5818
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5819
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5821
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5822
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5823
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5824
returned. (Robert Collins)
5826
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5827
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5829
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5830
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5831
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5832
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5835
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5836
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5841
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5842
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5844
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5845
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5846
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5847
makes this behavior available to other users.
5850
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5851
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5860
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5861
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5862
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5864
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5866
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5867
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5868
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5869
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5871
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5872
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5876
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5877
######################
5879
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5880
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5883
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5884
######################
5889
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5890
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5891
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5892
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5895
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5896
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5897
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5903
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5904
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5905
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5908
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5909
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5910
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5912
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5913
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5914
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5916
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5917
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5919
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5920
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5921
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5922
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5923
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5924
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5925
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5926
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5927
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5928
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5930
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5931
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5933
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5934
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5935
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5940
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5941
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5943
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5944
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5945
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5947
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5948
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5950
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5951
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5953
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5956
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5957
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5959
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5960
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5962
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5963
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5965
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5966
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5968
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5970
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5973
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5974
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5975
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5976
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5978
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5980
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5981
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5984
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5985
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5987
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5988
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5991
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5992
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5994
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5995
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5997
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5998
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5999
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6000
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6001
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6002
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6003
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6005
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6006
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6008
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6009
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6011
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6012
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6014
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6015
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6017
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6021
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6022
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6024
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6025
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6026
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6028
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6029
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6030
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6035
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6036
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6038
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6041
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6044
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6045
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6047
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6049
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6050
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6052
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6053
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6055
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6056
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6057
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6058
space). (Robert Collins)
6060
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6061
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6064
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6065
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6067
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6068
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6070
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6071
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6072
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6073
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6075
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6076
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6077
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6080
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6083
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6084
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6085
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6087
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6088
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6089
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6090
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6091
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6096
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6097
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6099
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6100
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6101
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6102
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6103
affected. (Robert Collins)
6105
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6106
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6107
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6110
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6111
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6116
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6117
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6119
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6120
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6122
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6123
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6125
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6128
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6129
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6134
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6135
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6136
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6137
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6139
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6140
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6142
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6143
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6144
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6145
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6147
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6148
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6149
present. (Robert Collins)
6151
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6152
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6153
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6154
API. (Robert Collins)
6156
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6157
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6160
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6161
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6163
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6164
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6165
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6166
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6167
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6168
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6170
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6171
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6172
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6174
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6175
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6176
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6177
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6180
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6183
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6184
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6185
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6186
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6187
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6188
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6189
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6191
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6192
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6193
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6194
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6196
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6197
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6198
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6199
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6200
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6201
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6203
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6204
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6205
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6207
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6208
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6217
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6218
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6219
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6220
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6221
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6222
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6223
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6224
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6230
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6231
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6232
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6235
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
6236
######################
6241
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6242
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6243
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6244
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6245
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6247
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6250
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6254
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6255
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6258
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6259
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6262
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6265
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6266
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6268
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6269
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6271
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6272
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6274
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6275
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6277
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6278
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6280
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6286
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6287
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6289
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6290
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6292
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6293
the repository (Robert Collins)
6295
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6296
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6297
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6298
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6299
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6301
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6302
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6304
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6305
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6306
(John Arbash Meinel)
6308
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6309
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6310
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6312
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6313
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6314
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6315
(John Arbash Meinel)
6317
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6318
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6321
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6322
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6324
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6327
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6329
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6331
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6332
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6334
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6335
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6338
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6339
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6340
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6341
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6343
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6344
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6345
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6347
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6348
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6349
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6351
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6352
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6354
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6355
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6356
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6357
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6358
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6359
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6362
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6363
(Alexander Belchenko)
6365
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6366
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6368
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6369
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6371
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6373
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6374
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6379
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6380
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6381
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6382
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6384
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6386
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6389
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6390
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6391
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6392
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6393
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6394
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6399
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6400
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6401
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6402
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6404
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6405
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6406
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6407
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6408
tests have been refactored too.
6411
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6412
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6413
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6417
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6418
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6419
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6421
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6422
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6423
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6424
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6425
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6426
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6427
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6429
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6430
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6431
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6432
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6433
(John Arbash Meinel)
6435
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6436
functionality for testing.
6438
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6440
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6441
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6443
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6445
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6448
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6449
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6451
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6452
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6453
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6455
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6458
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6459
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6461
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6462
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6463
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6464
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6466
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6467
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6469
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6470
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6471
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6473
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6476
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6477
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6478
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6479
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6480
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6481
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6483
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6484
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6485
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6486
many files. (Robert Collins)
6488
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6489
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6490
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6491
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6496
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6497
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6498
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6500
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6501
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6503
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6504
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6505
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6664
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6665

6669
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)

* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
6672
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6674
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6676
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6677
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6678
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6679
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6680
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6681
same location. (Robert Collins)

* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)

* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6695
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.

* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6699
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6700
searches the specified section. (James Westby)

* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6704
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6705
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6706
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6708
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6709
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6711
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6712
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6713
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6715
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6716
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6717
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6719
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6720
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6721
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6723
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6724
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6727
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6728
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6730
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6731
(Alexander Belchenko)
6736
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6737
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6738
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6739
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6741
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6742
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6743
testing. (Robert Collins)
6745
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6746
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6748
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6749
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6750
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6751
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6752
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6753
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6754
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6756
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6757
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6758
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6759
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6761
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6762
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6764
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6765
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6786
********************
6788
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6789
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6790
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6791
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6792
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6793
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6794
and unlock() like so::
6796
work_tree.lock_read()
6798
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6804
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6805
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6807
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6808
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6809
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6811
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6812
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6813
too. (Robert Collins)
6818
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6819
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6822
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6823
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6825
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6826
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6828
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6829
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6830
understanding what changes have occurred
6831
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6833
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6834
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6835
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6837
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6838
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6839
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6840
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6842
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6848
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6849
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6850
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6851
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6852
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6854
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6855
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6856
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6858
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6859
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6861
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6865
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6866
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6868
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6869
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6871
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6872
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6874
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6875
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6877
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6878
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6880
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6881
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6882
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6885
####################
6890
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6891
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6892
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6893
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6894
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6896
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6897
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6898
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6900
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6901
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6906
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6907
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6908
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6910
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6911
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6912
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6913
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
6915
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30

#######################
6921
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6922
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
6923
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
6924
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
6926
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
6927
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
6928

6930
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
6931
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
6933
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6934
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
6936
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
6937

* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6946
it could be recovered again.
6947
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6948
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6949
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6951
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6953
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6954
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6959
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6960
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6962
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6963
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6964
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6965
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6967
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6968
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6970
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6971
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6972
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6974
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6975
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6976
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6978
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6979
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6980
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6982
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6983
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6986
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6989
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6990
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6991
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6992
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6994
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6997
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6998
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6999
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7002
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7003
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7005
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7006
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7008
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7009
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7010
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7011
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7014
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7015
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7017
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7018
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7020
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7021
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7022
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7024
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7025
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7026
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7028
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7029
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7030
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7032
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7033
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7034
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7035
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7037
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7038
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7039
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7040
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7042
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7043
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7044
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7045
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7046
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7047
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7048
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7049
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7056
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7057
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7059
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7060
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7061
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7062
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7063
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7065
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7066
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7068
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7069
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7071
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7072
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7074
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7075
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7077
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7078
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7079
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7082
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7083
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7084
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7085
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7086
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7089
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7090
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7091
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7093
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7094
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7097
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7098
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7099
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7102
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7103
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7104
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7105
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7106
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7108
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7109
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7110
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7111
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7113
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7114
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7116
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7117
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7118
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7119
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7120
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7121
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7123
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7124
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7126
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7127
help. (Robert Collins)
7129
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7130
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7132
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7133
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7134
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7135
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7136
(John Arbash Meinel)
7138
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7139
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7140
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7141
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7142
useful. (Robert Collins)
7144
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7150
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7151
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7153
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7154
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7156
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7157
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7158
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7160
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7163
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7164
the file, and does it faster.
7165
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7167
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7168
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7169
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7171
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7172
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7173
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7174
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7176
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7177
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7178
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7179
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7181
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7182
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7184
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7185
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7186
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7187
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7190
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7192
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7193
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7195
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7196
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7198
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7199
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7200
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7201
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7205
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7211
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7212
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7213
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7215
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7216
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7218
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7219
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7220
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7221
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7222
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7223
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7224
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7225
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7227
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7228
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7229
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7231
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7232
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7233
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7234
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7235
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7237
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7239
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7240
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7241
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7243
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7244
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7253
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7256
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7257
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7260
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7261
#######################
7266
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7267
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7273
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7274
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7275
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7276
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7277
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7278
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7279
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7280
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7286
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7287
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7288
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7290
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7291
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7294
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7295
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7296
(John Arbash Meinel)
7298
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7299
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7300
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7301
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7302
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7307
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7310
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7311
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7313
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7314
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7316
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7317
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7318
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7320
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7321
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7323
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7324
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7325
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7326
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7327
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7329
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7330
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7331
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7333
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

#######################
7339
Notes When Upgrading
7340
********************
7342
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7343
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7344
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7349
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7350
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7352
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7353
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7355
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7357
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7358
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7360
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7361
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7366
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7372
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7373
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7374
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7375
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7377
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7378
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7380
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7381
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7383
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7386
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7387
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7390
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7391
#######################
7396
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7397
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7398
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7399
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7400
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7401
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7403
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7404
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7405
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7406
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7407
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7408
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7410
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7412
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7413
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7414
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7415
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7416
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7417
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7418
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7419
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7424
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7425
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7427
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7428
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7429
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7430
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7432
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7433
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7434
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7435
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7436
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7438
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7441
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7444
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7447
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7448
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7451
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7454
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7455
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7457
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7458
directory. (Martin Pool)
7460
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7461
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7462
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7463
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7465
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7466
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7467
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7468
in docs/configuration.txt.
7470
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7471
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7474
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7475
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7476
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7477
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7478
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7479
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7481
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7482
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7484
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7485
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7487
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7493
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7494
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7495
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7496
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.

This will also help with the future dirstate format.

* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7501
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7504
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7505
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7506
(John Arbash Meinel)
7508
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7509
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7510
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7511
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7512
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7513
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7515
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7516
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7517
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7519
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7520
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7521
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7522
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7524
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7526
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7527
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7528
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7529
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7531
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7532
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7533
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7534
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7536
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7537
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7538
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7540
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7541
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7542
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7544
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7545
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7546
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7547
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7549
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7550
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7551
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7553
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7554
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7555
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7557
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7558
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7559
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7560
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7561
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7562
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7563
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7564
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7565
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7566

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7572
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7573
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7574
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7576
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7579
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7580
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7581
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7648
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7649
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7650
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7652
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7655
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7656
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7657
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7659
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7660
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7662
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7665
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7666
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7667
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7668
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7669
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7670
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7672
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7673
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7674
should enable you to do::
7676
[/home/user/project]
7677
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7678
push_location:policy = appendpath
7680
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7681
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7684
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7685
for each file. For example::
7687
$ bzr status --short
7693
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7694
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7696
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7698
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7699
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7701
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7706
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7707
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7708
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7709
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7711
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7712
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7713
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7715
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7717
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7718
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7719
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7720
(Alexander Belchenko)
7722
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7725
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7726
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7728
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7733
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7734
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7736
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7737
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7738
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7739
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7740
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7742
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7743
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7745
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7746
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7748
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7750
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7752
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7753
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7754
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7755
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7756
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7758
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7759
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7760
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7761
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7763
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7764
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7766
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7767
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7793
operations are substantially faster.
7794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)

7798
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7799
(Daniel Silverstone)
7801
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7802
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7803
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7804
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7806
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7809
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7810
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7811
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7812
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7813
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7814
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7819
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7820
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7823
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7824
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7825
(John Arbash Meinel)
7827
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7828
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7829
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7830
(John Arbash Meinel)
7832

files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7835
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7836
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7838
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7839
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7845
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7846
And optimize the knit index parsing code.

(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7849
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7850
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7851
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7852
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7854
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7856
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7857
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7859
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7860
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7861
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7864
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7865
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7866
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7868
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7869
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7870
them as full references rather than integers.
7871
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7873
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7874
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)

7881
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7882
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7884
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7885
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7886
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7887
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7889
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7890
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7891
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7893
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7894
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7896
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7897
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7898
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7899
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,

rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7926
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7927

* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7934
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7935
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7936
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7937
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7939
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7940
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7941
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7942

7954
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7955
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7956
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7958
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7959
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7960
(John Arbash Meinel)
7962
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7963
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7964
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7966
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7967
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7970
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7971
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7972
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7974
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7975
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7976
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7977
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7978
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7979
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7981
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7982
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7983
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7986
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7987
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7992
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7993
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7994
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,

* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7998

8004
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when

8007
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8008
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8009

8012
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8013
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)

* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try

from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8067
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8068
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8070
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8071
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8072
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8074
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8076
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8077
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8079
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8080
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8081
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8084
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8085
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8086
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8087
(John Arbash Meinel)
8089
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8090
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8091
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8092
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8095
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8096
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8097
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8098
(John Arbash Meinel)
8103
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8104
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8106
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8108
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8109
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8110
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8112
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8113
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8115
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8116
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8118
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
8121
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8122
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8124
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8126
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8127
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8129
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8130
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8132
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8133
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8135
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8136
(John Arbash Meinel)
8138
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8139
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8140
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8142
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8143
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8145
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8146
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8147
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8148
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8150
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8151
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8152
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8154
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8155
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8160
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8165
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8166
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8167
(John Arbash Meinel)
8169
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8170
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8171
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8172
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8174
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8177
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8178
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8179
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8181
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8182
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8184
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8185
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8186
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8188
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8189
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8190
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8191
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8192
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8193
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8194
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8195
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8196
caller to repeat their request.
8197
(John Arbash Meinel)
8199
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8200
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8202
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8203
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8205
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8206
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8207
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8208
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8209
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8210
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8211
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8213
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8214
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8215
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8216
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8217
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8218
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8219
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8220
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8223
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8224
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8225
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8227
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8228
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8230
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8231
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8233
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8234
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8239
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8240
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8242
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8243
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8244
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8246
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8247
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8248
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8251
####################
8255
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8256
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8258
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8259
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8260
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8261
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8262
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8264
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8265
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8266
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8268
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8269
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8271
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8272
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8273
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8278
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8280
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8281
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8282
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8284
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8286
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8288
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8289
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8290
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8291
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8293
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8294
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8295
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8296
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8297
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8299
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8300
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8302
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8303
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8305
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8306
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8308
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8309
in handling of revision properties.
8310
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8312
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8313
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8318
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8319
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8320
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8321
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8322
(John Arbash Meinel)
8324
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8325
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8326
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8328
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
8329
#####################
8334
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8335
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8336
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8337
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8338
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8339
a more conservative list than the old default.
8340
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8341
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8342
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8343
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8345
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8346
to more locations than just branch locations.
8352
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8353
revno:N:branch. For example,
8354
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8355
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8357
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8358
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8359
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8360
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8361
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8362
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8363
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8364
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8367
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8368
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8369
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8372
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8373
(Alexander Belchenko)
8375
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8377
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8380
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8381
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8382
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8383
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8384
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8385
(John Arbash Meinel)
8387
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8388
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8389
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8390
grained analysis of performance.
8391
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8393
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8394
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8396
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8397
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8398
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8399
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8400
file. (Robert Collins).
8402
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8403
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8404
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8406
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8407
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8410
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8411
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8413
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8414
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8415
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8416
the same way you would apply another branch.
8417
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8419
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8420
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8422
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8425
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8428
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8429
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8430
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8432
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8433
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8434
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8436
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8437
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8439
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8440
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8441
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8442
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8443
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8445
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8446
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8448
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8449
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8450
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8451
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8452
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8453
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8454
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8455
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8457
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8458
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8459
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8464
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8466
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8468
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8469
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8471
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8472
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8474
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8475
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8477
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8479
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8480
(John Arbash Meinel)
8482
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8483
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8485
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8486
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8489
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8490
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8492
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8493
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8495
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8496
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8497
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8498
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8500
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8501
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8503
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8505
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8506
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8508
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8510
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8512
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8513
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8515
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8516
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8518
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8519
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8520
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8522
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8523
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8524
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8526
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8527
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8529
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8530
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8532
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8533
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8535
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8536
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8538
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8539
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8541
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8542
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8543
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8545
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8547
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8548
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8553
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8554
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8555
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8557
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8558
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8560
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8561
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8562
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8564
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8565
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8567
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8568
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8571
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8572
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8573
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8575
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8576
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8577
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8579
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8580
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8581
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8583
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8584
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8585
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8587
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8588
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8589
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8591
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8592
instead. (Robert Collins)
8594
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

8661
Notes When Upgrading
8662
********************
8664
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8665
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8666
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8667
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8668
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8669
will keep the same format.
8671
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8672
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8673
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8674
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8675
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8677
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8678
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8679
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8680
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8681
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8682
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8683
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8685
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8686
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8687
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8688
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8689
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8691
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8692
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8693
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8700
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8701
convention. Paths now take the form::
8703
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8705
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8707
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8708
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8710
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8711
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8712
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8714
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8715
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8716
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8717
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8719
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8720
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8721
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8723
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8725
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8727
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8728
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8731
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8732
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8735
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8737
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8738
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8739
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8742
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8744
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8746
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8749
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8750
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8752
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8753
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8756
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8757
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8760
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8762
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8764
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8765
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8767
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8768
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8769
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8770
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8771
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8772
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8774
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8776
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8777
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8780
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8781
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8783
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8784
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8786
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8788
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8789
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8790
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8791
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8792
specification by Martin Pool.
8793
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8795
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8798
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8799
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8801
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8802
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8803
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8805
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8807
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8808
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8814
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8815
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8817
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8819
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8821
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8824
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8825
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8826
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8827
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8832
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8833
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8834
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8835
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8837
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8838
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8839
tried. (Martin Pool)
8841
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8844
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8846
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8847
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8848
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8850
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8851
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8853
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8854
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8855
paths. (Robert Collins)
8857
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8858
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8859
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8861
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8862
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8863
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8865
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8866
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8867
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8869
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8872
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8875
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8877
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8879
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8880
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8881
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8884
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8885
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8887
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8888
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8889
check. (Robert Collins)
8891
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8892
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8897
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8898
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8900
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8901
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8902
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8903
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8905
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8906
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8907
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8908
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8909
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8911
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8912
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8913
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8915
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8917
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8918
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8926
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8927
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8929
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8930
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8931
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8934
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8935
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8937
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8938
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8939
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8940
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8941
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8943
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8944
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8945
used. (Robert Collins)
8947
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8948
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8951
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8952
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8953
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8955
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8958
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8959
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8964
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8965
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8967
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8969
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8971
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8972
tree. (Robert Collins)
8974
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8975
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8976
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8979
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8982
* Tweaks to short log printing
8984
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8987
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8988
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8990
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8991
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8993
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8994
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8996
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8997
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8998
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9000
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9001
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9003
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9004
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9007
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9008
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9010
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9011
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9013
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9014
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9016
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9019
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9020
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9022
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9023
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9025
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9026
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9027
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9032
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9034
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9036
* Error when run with -OO
9038
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9041
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9043
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9045
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9046
ignored by diff and status
9048
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9049
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9051
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9053
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9055
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9056
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9058
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9059
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9061
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9064
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9065
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9067
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9069
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9070
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9072
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9075
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9076
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9078
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9083
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9084
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9086
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9088
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9090
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9092
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9093
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9094
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9096
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9098
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9099
(John Arbash Meinel)
9101
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9103
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9104
If adding a new test script please add that to
9105
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9107
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9108
imported. (Martin Pool)
9110
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9111
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9112
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9113
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9114
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9117
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9118
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9119
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9121
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9122
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9123
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9125
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9126
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9127
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9128
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9129
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9132
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9133
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9139
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9140
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9142
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9143
function. (Robert Collins)
9145
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9146
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9147
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9149
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9150
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9153
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9154
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9155
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9156
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9157
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9158
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9159
version. (Robert Collins)
9161
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9162
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9164
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9165
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9166
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9167
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9168
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9169
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9171
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9174
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9184
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9186
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9188
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9191
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9192
query method. (Robert Collins)
9194
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9197
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9200
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9203
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9204
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9205
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9206
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9208
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9209
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9210
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9211
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9213
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9214
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9222
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9225
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9229
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9230
a separator, not ':'.
9233
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9234
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9235
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9237
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9238
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9241
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9242
has been added that suppresses all output.
9244
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9247
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9248
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9250
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9251
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9253
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9254
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9256
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9257
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9258
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9259
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9261
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9263
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9264
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9266
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9267
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9269
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9270
output directory, if one was supplied.
9272
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9273
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9274
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9275
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9277
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9279
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9280
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9282
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9283
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9284
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9286
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9287
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9289
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9292
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9294
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9299
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9300
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9301
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9303
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9304
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9305
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9307
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9308
is given. (Martin Pool)
9310
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9311
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9312
file. (Robert Collins)
9314
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9320
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9321
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9322
representation. (Martin Pool).
9324
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9325
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9326
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9328
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9331
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9332
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9335
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9336
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9337
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9338
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9339
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9341
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9342
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9343
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9344
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9345
python path. (Robert Collins)
9347
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9348
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9349
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9350
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9352
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9353
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9355
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9356
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9359
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9360
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9361
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9363
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9364
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9365
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9367
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9368
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9370
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9371
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9372
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9375
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9376
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9377
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9378
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9381
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9384
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9385
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9388
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9389
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9390
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9392
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9393
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9394
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9396
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9397
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9398
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9400
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9401
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9403
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9404
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9405
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9406
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9407
caller. (Robert Collins)
9409
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9410
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9413
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9414
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9417
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9419
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9420
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9425
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9426
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9428
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9429
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
9438
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9439
allow directories to be listed.
9441
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9442
upgrading branch format.
9447
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9456
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9457
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9458
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9459
high-latency connections.
9464
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9467
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9468
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9470
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9471
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9472
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9473
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9475
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9476
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9478
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9479
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9481
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9482
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9483
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9485
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9486
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9487
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9490
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9491
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9493
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9494
different partial views of history.
9496
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9497
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9502
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9503
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9504
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9506
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9507
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9510
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9511
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9513
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9516
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9517
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9519
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9520
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9521
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9522
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9524
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9526
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9527
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9530
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9531
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9533
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9534
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9535
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9541
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9542
for your viewing pleasure.
9544
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9545
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9547
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9548
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9549
handling of such circumstances.
9551
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9552
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9553
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9555
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9557
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9558
we call them revisions not patches.
9560
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9561
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9563
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9564
giving the revision *of that file*.
9566
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9567
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9568
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9573
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9574
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9576
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9577
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9601
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9602
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9604
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9605
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.

For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9607
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

9628
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9629
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9630
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9631
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9634
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9637
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9638
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9639
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9640
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9641
for the operating system is still tried.
9643
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9644
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9645
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9651

9688
* Much better merge support.
9690
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
9691

* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9751
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9753
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9754
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9755
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9761
* Faster working tree operations.
9767
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9768
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9769
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9770
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9772
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9773
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9774
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9775
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9776
standard plugins directory.
9778
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9779
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9780
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9781
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9783
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9784
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9786
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9789
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9790
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9791
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9793
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9794
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9796
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9797
line options must come before the command name because they
9798
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9799
after the command name because their interpretation depends on

#####################
9820
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9821
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9823
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9824
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9825
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9826
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9828
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9829
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9830
with the ``--forward`` option.
9832
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9833
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9840
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9841
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.

* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9845
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9846
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.

or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9878
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9880
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9882

9891
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9898

9899
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9901
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9908
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9909
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9912
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9913
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9915
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9916
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9918
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9919
under a different version.

9935
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9937

9938
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9940
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9942
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
9944
* New AtomicFile class.
9946

9963
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
