15
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
16
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
17
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
18
into ``rich-root`` repositories from ``2a``. The Upgrade guide
19
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
24
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
25
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
30
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
31
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
32
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
34
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
35
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
37
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
38
(Martin Pool, #286871)
40
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
41
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
42
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
47
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
48
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
49
(Martin Pool, #409137)
51
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
52
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
53
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
54
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
56
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
58
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
59
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
79
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
80
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
81
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
82
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
83
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
91
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
92
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
93
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
94
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
95
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
97
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
98
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
100
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
101
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
103
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
104
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
106
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
107
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
108
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
109
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
111
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
112
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
113
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
115
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
116
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
118
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
119
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
120
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
121
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
126
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
127
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
128
(Martin Pool, #409137)
130
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
131
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
132
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
133
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
134
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
136
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
137
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
138
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
150
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
151
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
152
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
153
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
154
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
155
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
157
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
158
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
159
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
160
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
162
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
163
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
164
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
165
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
168
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
169
protocols. (Robert Collins)
171
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
172
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
173
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
174
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
180
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
181
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
190
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
191
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
192
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
193
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
194
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
195
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
197
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
198
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
199
or until the following stable release.
205
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
206
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
208
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
209
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
210
(Martin Pool, #391411)
215
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
216
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
217
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
219
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
220
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
221
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
222
(Martin Pool, #123688)
224
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
225
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
226
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
227
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
229
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
230
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
232
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
233
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
234
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
235
(Robert Collins, #282402)
237
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
238
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
240
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
241
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
243
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
244
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
245
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
246
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
247
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
249
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
250
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
251
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
253
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
254
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
255
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
256
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
257
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
259
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
260
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
262
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
263
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
264
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
266
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
267
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
268
(Martin Pool, #408201)
270
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
271
(Martin Pool, #403523)
273
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
274
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
275
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
277
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
278
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
280
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
281
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
283
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
284
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
286
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
287
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
288
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
290
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
291
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
292
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
294
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
296
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
297
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
299
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
300
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
301
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
302
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
303
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
304
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
306
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
307
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
308
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
310
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
311
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
312
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
313
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
315
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
316
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
317
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
318
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
319
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
321
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
322
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
323
(Robert Collins, #187207)
328
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
331
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
332
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
333
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
334
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
336
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
337
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
343
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
348
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
349
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
350
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
351
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
352
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
353
passwords. (Martin Pool)
355
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
358
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
361
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
365
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
366
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
371
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
372
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
373
paths. (Robert Collins)
375
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
376
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
378
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
379
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
380
disk. (Robert Collins)
382
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
385
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
386
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
387
(Alexander Belchenko)
393
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
394
(Martin Pool, #409684)
396
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
397
(Martin Pool, #408199)
399
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
400
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
401
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
402
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
403
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
404
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.17 "So late it's brunch" 2009-07-20
408
#########################################
409
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
414
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
415
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
418
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
419
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
420
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
421
annoying progress bar artifacts.
424
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
425
*********************************
427
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
428
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
429
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
431
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
432
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
433
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
435
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
436
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
442
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
443
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
444
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
445
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
451
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
452
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
453
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
454
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
456
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
457
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
458
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
460
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
461
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
462
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
466
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
467
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
468
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
469
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
475
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
476
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
478
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
479
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
480
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
481
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
483
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
484
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
486
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
487
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
488
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
490
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
491
(Martin Pool, #321935)
493
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
494
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
496
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
497
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
499
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
500
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
501
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
503
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
506
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
507
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
509
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
510
of a remote repository.
511
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
513
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
514
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
517
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
519
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
521
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
522
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
524
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
525
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
527
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
528
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
529
(Martin Pool, #339385)
531
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
532
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
533
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
534
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
537
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
538
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
539
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
541
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
542
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
543
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
544
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
545
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
546
(Robert Collins, #376243)
548
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
549
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
550
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
551
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
552
activity display respectively.
553
(Martin Pool, #340347)
555
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
556
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
558
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
561
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
562
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
568
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
569
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
570
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
571
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
573
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
574
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
575
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
576
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
579
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
580
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
582
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
583
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
584
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
585
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
586
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
587
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
589
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
590
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
591
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
592
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
594
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
595
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
596
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
600
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
601
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
602
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
603
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
609
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
610
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
611
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
612
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
614
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
615
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
616
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
618
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
621
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
622
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
624
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
625
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
626
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
628
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
629
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
630
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
631
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
633
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
639
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
640
formatting in the user reference.
641
(Martin Pool, #249908)
643
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
649
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
652
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
653
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
654
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

#####################
660
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
661
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
662
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
665
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
666
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
667
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
669
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
670
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
675
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
676
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
678
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
679
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
680
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
682
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
683
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
684
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
685
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
686
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
687
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
688
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
690
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
691
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
692
converted data. (Robert Collins)
694
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
695
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
696
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
698
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
699
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
700
that. (Robert Collins)
702
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
703
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
704
repository. (Robert Collins)
706
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
707
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
708
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
709
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

##################################################
715
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
719
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
720
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
721
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
722
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
724
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
725
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
726
bug fixes and improvements.
729
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
730
*********************************
732
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
733
2a can work correctly.
734
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
736
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
737
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
738
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
744
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
745
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
752
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
753
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
754
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
755
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
756
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
757
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
760
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
761
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
762
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
763
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
765
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
766
and more concisely repacks the full history.
768
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
769
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
771
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
772
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
773
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
775
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
776
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
782
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
783
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
784
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
786
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
787
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
788
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
789
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
790
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
792
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
793
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
794
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
795
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
797
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
798
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
804
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
805
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
806
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
807
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
813
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
814
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
816
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
817
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
819
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
820
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
821
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
823
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
824
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
826
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
827
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
828
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
830
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
831
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
832
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
835
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
836
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
838
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
839
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
841
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
842
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
844
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
845
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
846
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
847
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
848
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
849
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
851
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
853
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
854
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
856
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
857
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
859
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
860
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
861
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
862
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
863
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
865
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
866
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
867
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
868
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
873
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
874
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
880
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
882
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
883
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
884
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
886
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
887
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
888
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
890
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
891
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
893
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
894
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
899
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
900
repositories. (Martin Pool)
905
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
907
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
909
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
918
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
919
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
920
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
921
revisions introduce the exact same line.
923
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
924
*****************************
926
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
927
(Alexander Belchenko)
929
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
930
*********************************
932
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
933
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
934
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
935
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
937
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
938
*********************************
945
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
946
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
947
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
948
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
953
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
954
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
957
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
958
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
959
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
960
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
962
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
963
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
964
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
965
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
967
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
968
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
971
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
972
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
973
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
978
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
979
server. (Jonathan Lange)
981
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
982
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
984
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
985
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
986
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
988
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
993
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
994
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
996
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
998
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
999
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1001
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1002
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1004
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1005
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1007
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1008
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1009
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1010
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1012
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1015
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1016
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1018
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1019
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1021
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1022
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1024
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1025
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1027
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1030
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1031
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1033
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1034
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1035
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1036
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1037
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1038
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1039
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1040
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1041
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1042
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1043
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1044
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1045
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1046
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1048
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1049
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1050
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1052
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1053
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1061
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1062
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1063
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1065
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1066
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1067
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1068
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1069
(Alexander Belchenko)
1074
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1075
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1076
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1078
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1079
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1082
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1083
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1084
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1085
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1086
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1088
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1089
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1090
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1092
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1093
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1094
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1095
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1097
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1098
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1099
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1101
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1102
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1104
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1105
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1106
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1107
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1109
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1110
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1111
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1113
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1114
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1116
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1117
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1118
branches. (Robert Collins)
1120
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1121
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1123
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1128
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1129
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks

********************
1182
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1183
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1184
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1185
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1186
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1188
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1189
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1190
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1192
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1193
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1194
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1195
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1196
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1201
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1202
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1203
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1204
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1205
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1208
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1211
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1212
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1214
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1215
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1216
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1217
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1218
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1220
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1221
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1223
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1226
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1227
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1228
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1229
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1232
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1233
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1234
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1235
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1236
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1238
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1239
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1242
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1248
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1249
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1250
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1252
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1253
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1254
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1255
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1256
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1258
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1259
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1262
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1263
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1264
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1266
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1269
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1272
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1273
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1275
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1276
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1278
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1279
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1281
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1282
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1285
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1286
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1287
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1289
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1290
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1291
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1294
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1295
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1296
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1297
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1299
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1300
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1301
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1302
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1303
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1304
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1305
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1306
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1307
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1309
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1315
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1316
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1317
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1318
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1319
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1320
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1321
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1323
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1324
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1326
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1327
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1328
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1329
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1331
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1332
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1334
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1336
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1339
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1340
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1341
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1343
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1344
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1346
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1347
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1349
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1350
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1351
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1353
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1354
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1355
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1356
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1358
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1360
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1363
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1364
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1365
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1366
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1367
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1369
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1370
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1371
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1372
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1373
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1374
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1375
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1377
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1378
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1380
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1381
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1384
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1385
(James Westby, #341558)
1387
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1388
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1390
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1391
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1396
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1398
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1400
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1401
(James Westby, #336998)
1406
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1409
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1410
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1413
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1414
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1417
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1418
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1419
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1421
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1422
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1423
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1425
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1426
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1427
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1428
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1431
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1432
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1435
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1438
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1439
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1441
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1442
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1443
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1444
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1446
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1447
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1448
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1453
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1454
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1455
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1456
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1457
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1459
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1462
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1463
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1464
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1465
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1471
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1472
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1474
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1475
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1477
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1478
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1479
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1481
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1482
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1483
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1484
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1486
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1487
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1488
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1489
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1491
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1492
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1493
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1495
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1496
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1497
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1499
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1500
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1501
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1503
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1504
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1507
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1508
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1509
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1511
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1512
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1514
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1515
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1516
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1518
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1519
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1522
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1523
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1524
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1526
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1527
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1528
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1529
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1530
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1532
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1533
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1534
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1535
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1537
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1538
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1539
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1540
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1542
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1543
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1544
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1546
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1547
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1550
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1551
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1552
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1554
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1555
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1556
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1557
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1558
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1560
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1561
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1562
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1565
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1566
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1567
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1568
desired. (Robert Collins)
1570
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1571
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1572
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1573
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1575
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1576
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1577
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
1594
*****************************
1596
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1597
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1598
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1599
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1600
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1601
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1607
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1608
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1609
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1611
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1612
********************************
1614
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1615
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1616
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1621
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1622
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1624
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1625
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1627
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1628
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1630
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1632
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1633
*********************************
1635
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1636
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1637
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1639
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1640
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1642
Compatibility Breaks
1643
********************
1645
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1646
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1647
command may need to be adjusted.
1648
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1653
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1654
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1655
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1657
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1660
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1661
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1662
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1665
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1666
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1668
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1669
(John Arbash Meinel)
1671
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1672
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1674
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1676
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1677
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1680
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1686
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1687
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1688
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1689
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1690
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1691
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1692
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1693
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1696
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1697
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1699
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1700
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1701
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1703
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1704
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1706
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1707
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1708
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1711
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1712
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1713
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1715
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1716
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1717
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1718
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1720
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1723
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1724
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1726
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1727
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1729
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1730
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1731
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1733
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1738
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1739
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1741
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1742
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1743
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1745
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1746
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1747
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1749
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1750
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1752
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1753
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1756
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1757
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1758
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1760
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1761
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1763
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1764
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1766
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1767
(James Westby, #174539)
1769
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1770
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1772
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1773
error branching from old repositories.
1774
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1776
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1777
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1779
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1780
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1781
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1782
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1784
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1785
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1788
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1789
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1791
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1792
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1794
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1795
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1796
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1798
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1799
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1801
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1802
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1807
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1808
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1809
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1812
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1813
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1815
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1816
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1821
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1822
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1823
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1824
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1825
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1827
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1828
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1830
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1831
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1832
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1833
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1834
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1835
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1837
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1838
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1840
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1841
"author" argument being deprecated.
1843
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1845
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1846
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1847
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1848
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1850
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1851
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1852
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1854
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1855
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1856
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1858
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1859
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1861
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1862
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1863
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1864
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1869
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1870
free of virtual file system methods.
1871
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1873
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1874
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1875
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1877
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1878
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1879
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1880
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1881
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1882
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1884
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1886
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1887
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1889
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1890
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1891
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1892
stream the operation.
1893
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1895
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1896
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1898
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1899
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1900
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1901
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1902
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1904
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1905
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1907
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1908
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1909
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1911
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1912
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1915
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1918
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1919
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1920
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1922
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1923
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1924
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1926
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1927
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1928
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1930
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1931
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1932
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1934
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1935
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1936
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1937
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1938
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1940
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1941
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1942
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1943
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1944
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1945
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1947
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1948
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1949
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1950
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1951
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1953
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1954
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1956
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1957
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1959
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1960
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1961
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1962
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1963
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1965
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1966
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
1975
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
1977
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1978
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1979
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1980
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1981
by showing the rate of network IO.
1983
Changes from RC1 to Final
1984
*************************
1986
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1987
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1989
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1990
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1992
Compatibility Breaks
1993
********************
1995
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1996
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1997
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1998
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2000
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2001
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2002
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2005
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2006
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2007
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2008
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2010
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2011
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2012
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2015
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2020
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2021
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2022
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2025
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2026
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2027
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2029
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2030
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2031
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2032
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2033
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2034
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2035
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2036
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2037
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2043
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2046
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2049
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2050
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2051
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2053
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2054
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2055
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2056
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2057
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2059
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2060
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2062
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2063
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2064
level for better precision.
2067
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2068
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2070
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2071
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2072
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2074
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2075
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2076
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2079
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2080
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2081
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2086
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2088
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2090
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2091
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2092
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2094
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2095
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2096
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2097
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2098
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2099
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2101
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2102
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2104
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2105
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2107
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2108
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2109
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2111
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2112
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2113
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2116
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2117
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2119
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2120
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2121
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2122
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2124
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2125
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2127
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2129
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2134
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2139
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2140
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2143
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2144
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2146
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2147
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2149
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2150
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2152
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2153
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2154
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2155
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2157
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2158
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2159
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2164
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2165
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2166
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2167
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2168
compile buffers, are such an example).
2171
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2172
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2175
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2176
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2177
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2180
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2181
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2183
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2184
formatters to retrict the output.
2188

##############################
2191
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2192
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2193
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2194
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2195
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2197
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2198
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2201
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2202
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2207
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2210
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2211
(John Arbash Meinel)
2215
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
2216
#################################
2221
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2222
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2227
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2228
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2230
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2231
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2232
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2233
implement other plugins.
2236
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2242
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2243
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2245
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2246
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2248
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2249
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2250
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2251
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2254
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2255
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2256
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2257
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2258
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2260
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2261
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2262
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2263
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2264
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2269
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2270
control directory. (#139691)
2272
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2273
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2275
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2276
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2278
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2279
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2280
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2282
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2283
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2285
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2286
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2287
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2289
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2290
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2292
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2295
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2296
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2297
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2299
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2300
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2302
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2303
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2304
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2306
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2307
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2308
in the appropriate sections.
2309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2311
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2312
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2313
(John Arbash meinel)
2315
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2318
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2321
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2322
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2324
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2325
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2326
work better with how it splits its requests.
2327
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2329
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2330
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2331
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2333
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2336
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2338
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2341
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2347
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2348
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2349
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2355
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2356
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2357
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2358
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2360
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2361
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2363
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2364
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2365
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2366
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2368
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2369
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2370
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2371
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2376
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2377
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2378
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2380
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2381
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2382
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2383
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2385
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2386
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2387
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2393
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2394
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2395
(John Arbash Meinel)
2397
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2398
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2399
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2400
(John Arbash Meinel)
2402
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2403
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2404
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2405
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2407
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2408
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2409
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2411
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2412
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2413
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2414
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2416
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2417
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2418
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2419
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2420
(John Arbash Meinel)
2422
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2423
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2425
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2426
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2427
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2429
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2430
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2431
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2432
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2434
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2435
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2436
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2437
(John Arbash Meinel)
2439
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2440
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2441
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2442
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2443
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2444
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2445
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2447
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2448
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2455
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2456
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2457
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2458
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2461
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2466
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2467
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2468
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2469
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2471
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2472
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2473
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2474
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2475
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
2481
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2482
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2483
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2484
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2485
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2490
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2491
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2493
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2499
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2500
history just to set the last revision info.
2501
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2503
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2504
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2505
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2506
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2508
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2509
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2510
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2511
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2512
(John Arbash Meinel)
2514
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2515
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2517
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2518
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2519
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2520
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2521
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2523
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2524
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2525
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2526
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2531
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2532
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2534
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2535
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2537
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2538
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2539
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2540
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2542
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2543
starting with a dotted revno.
2544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2546
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2547
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2548
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2550
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2551
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2552
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2554
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2555
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2556
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2558
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2559
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2560
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2561
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2563
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2564
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2565
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2567
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2568
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2573
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2574
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2575
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2576
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2578
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2579
have changed incompatibly.
2581
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2582
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2583
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2584
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2585
don't need to change.
2587
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2588
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2593
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2594
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2596
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2602
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2603
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2604
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2605
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2606
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2607
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2612
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2613
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2615
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2617
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2618
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

2623
#####################
2628
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2629
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2631
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2632
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2633
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2634
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2639
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2640
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2641
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2642
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2643
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2644
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2646
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2647
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2649
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2650
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2651
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2653
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2654
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2655
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2658
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2659
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2661
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2662
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2664
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2665
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2667
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2668
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2669
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2670
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2671
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2672
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2673
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2674
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2675
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2676
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2681
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2682
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2684
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2685
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2687
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2688
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2689
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2691
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2692
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2693
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2695
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2696
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2697
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2699
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2700
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2701
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2702
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2703
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2704
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2706
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2707
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2709
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2710
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2712
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2713
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2714
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2715
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2716
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2718
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2719
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2720
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2721
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2726
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2731
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2736
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2737
configuration of authetication credentials.
2743
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2744
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2745
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2746
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2747
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2752
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2753
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2758
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2759
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2762
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
2763
#####################
2768
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2769
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2770
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2771
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2772
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2774
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2775
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2777
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2778
server. (Marius Kruger)
2780
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2781
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2782
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2783
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2784
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2785
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2790
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2791
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2792
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2799
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2800
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2801
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2802
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2804
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2805
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2808
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2809
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2812
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2815
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2817
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2818
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2820
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2821
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2823
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2824
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2825
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2826
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2827
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2828
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2829
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2830
operations. (Robert Collins)
2832
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2834
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2835
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2836
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2841
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2842
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2843
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2845
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2846
repository now preserves the repository format.
2847
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2849
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2852
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2853
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2855
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2859
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2862
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2863
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2864
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2866
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2867
is in a different repository than the current one.
2868
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2870
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2871
(David Futcher, #242106)
2873
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2874
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2876
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2877
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2878
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2879
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2881
* Trivial documentation fix.
2882
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2884
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2885
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2886
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2887
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2892
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2897
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2898
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2899
to use. (Robert Collins)
2901
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2902
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2903
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2905
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2906
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2907
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2908
they want. (Robert Collins)
2913
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2914
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2915
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2917
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2918
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2921
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2924
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2925
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2927
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2933
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2934
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2936
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2937
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2938
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2940
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2941
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2942
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2944
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2945
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2947
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2948
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2950
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2951
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2953
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2954
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2955
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2956
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2971
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2976
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2977
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2978
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2979
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
2986
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2987
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2988
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2989
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2990
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.

There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

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

``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3006
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3007
connect to the stacked-on location.
3012
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3013
repository now preserves the repository format.
3014

* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
3027
#####################
3029
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3030
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3031
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3032
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3033
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3034
it in a future repository format.
3040
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3043
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3044
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3045
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3047
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3048
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3049
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3054
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3055
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3057
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3062
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3063
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3066
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3067
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3069
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3070
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3073
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3074
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3075
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3076
(John Arbash Meinel)
3078
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3079
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3081
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3082
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3083
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3084
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3085
(John Arbash Meinel)
3087
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3088
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3089
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3090
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3091
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3092
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3093
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3094
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3095
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3096
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3101
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3102
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3104
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3105
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3106
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3108
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3109
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3110
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3112
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3113
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3114
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3115
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3116
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3117
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3119
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3120
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3122
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3123
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3125
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3126
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3127
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3128
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3129
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3130
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3132
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3133
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3135
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3136
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3138
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3139
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3140
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3141
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3143
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3144
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3146
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3147
assuming the host name is ascii.
3148
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3150
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3151
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3156
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3161
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3163
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3164
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3165
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3168
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3169
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3171
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3172
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3174
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3175
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3180
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3181
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3182
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3183
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3185
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3189
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3190
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3191
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3193
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3199
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3200
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3203
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3204
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3205
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3206
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3207
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3209
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3210
is unknown in both source and target.
3211
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3213
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3214
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3215
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3216
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3218
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3219
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3220
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3221
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
3227
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3228
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3229
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3232
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3233
#######################
3238
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3239
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3240
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3241
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3244
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3245
#######################
3247
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3248
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3249
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3250
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3251
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3252
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3253
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3254
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3255
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3256
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3257
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3258
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3263
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3264
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3265
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3266
start of the string (causing more copies).
3267
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3268
especially for projects with large files.
3269
(John Arbash Meinel)
3271
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3272
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3273
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3274
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3275
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3277
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3278
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3279
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3280
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3281
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3282
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3288
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3289
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3290
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3291
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3292
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3293
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3294
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3295
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3296
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3299
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3300
#####################
3305
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3306
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3307
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3308
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3309
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3312
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3313
#####################
3318
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3319
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3320
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3323
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3324
#####################
3329
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3330
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3336
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3337
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3338
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3344
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3345
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3346
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3348
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3349
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3350
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3351
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3352
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3353
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3354
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3357
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13

#####################
3360
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3366
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3367
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3369
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3370
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3373
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3374
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3375
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3376
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3377
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3379
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3380
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3382
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3383
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3385
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3386
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3388
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3389
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3390
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3391
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3392
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3393
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3396
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3397
#####################
3399
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3400
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3401
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3402
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3403
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3408
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3409
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3410
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3415
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3416
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3418
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3419
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3421
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3422
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3423
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3425
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3428
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3429
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3430
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3431
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3432
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3433
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3434
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3436
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3437
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3438
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3443
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3444
physical repository boundaries.
3445
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3447
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3448
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3450
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3451
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3454
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3457
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3458
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3459
that Python is running from.
3460
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3462
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3463
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3464
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3466
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3467
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3469
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3470
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3471
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3473
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3474
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3476
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3477
(James Westby, #248448)
3482
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3483
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3484
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3487
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3488
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3491
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3492
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3493
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3494
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3495
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3496
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3499
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3500
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3502
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3503
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3504
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3505
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3506
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3507
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3512
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3513
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3514
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3515
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3516
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3517
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3519
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3520
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3521
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3523
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3526
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3527
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3529
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3536
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3537
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3538
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3539
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3545
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3546
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3547
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3549
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3550
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3551
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3552
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3553
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3556
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3558
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3559
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3560
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3566
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3567
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3570
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3571
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3572
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3573
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3575
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3576
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3577
(Christophe Troestler)
3579
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3580
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3582
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3583
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3584
faster. The new request method name is
3585
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3590
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3591
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3592
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3593
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3594
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3596
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3597
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3599
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3600
requires a branch to be present.
3601
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3603
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3605
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3607
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3608
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3609
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3610
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3612
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3613
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3615
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3617
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3619
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3620
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3621
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3622
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3623
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3625
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3626
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3628
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3629
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3631
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3633
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3635
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3636
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3638
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3639
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3644
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3647
* Updated developer documentation.
3653
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3654
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3656
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3657
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3658
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3659
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3664
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3665
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3666
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3667
Repository docstring for more details.
3670
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3671
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3672
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3674
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3675
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3678
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3679
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3680
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3681
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3686
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3687
(Alexander Belchenko)
3689
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3690
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3691
containing a given location.
3694
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3695
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3696
storage. (Robert Collins)
3698
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3701
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3702
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

3707
#######################
3709
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3710
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3711
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3717
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3718
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3719
reading from the repository.)
3720
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3722
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3723
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3725
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3726
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3729
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3730
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3731
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3733
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3734
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3735
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3737
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3738
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3740
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3741
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3742
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3743
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3748
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3750
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3751
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3752
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3755
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3756
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3761
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3766
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3767
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3772
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3773
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3774
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3775
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3776
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3778
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3779
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3784
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3785
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3787
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3788
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
3791
#######################
3794
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3795
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3796
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3797
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3798
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3799
and future extensions.
3802
Notes When Upgrading
3803
********************
3805
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3806
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3807
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3808
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3809
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3810
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3811
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3812
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3817
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3818
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3819
(John Arbash Meinel)
3824
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3825
load. (James Westby)
3830
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3831
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3832
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3833
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3835
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3836
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3837
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3839
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3840
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3842
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3843
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3844
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3846
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3847
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3848
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3849
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3850
step closer to not using full revision history.
3851
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3856
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3857
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3859
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3860
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3862
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3863
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3865
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3866
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3867
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3868
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3870
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3871
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3872
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3873
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3875
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3876
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3877
in use by another process.
3880
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3881
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3882
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3883
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3885
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3886
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3888
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3889
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3892
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3893
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3896
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3900
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3901
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3903
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3904
under vim on Mac OS X.
3905
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3907
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3908
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3913
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3914
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3916
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3917
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3920
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3921
and about use of Python reprs.
3922
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3924
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3929
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3932
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3933
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3935
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3936
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3941
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3942
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3943
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3944
(John Arbash Meinel)
3949
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3950
instead. (Martin Pool)
3952
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3953
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3954
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3955
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3957
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3958
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3959
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3960
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3961
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3963
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3964
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3965
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3966
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3967
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3968
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3970
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3971
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3974
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3975
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3978
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3979
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3980
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3981
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3983
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3984
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3985
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3987
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3988
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3989
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3990
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3991
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3994
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3995
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3996
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3997
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4000
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4001
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4002
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4003
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4004
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4006
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4013
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4014
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4015
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4020
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4021
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4022
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4027
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4028

* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4039
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4040
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4041
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4046
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4047
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4049
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4050
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4052
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4058
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4061
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4062
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4064
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4065
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4066
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4068
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4069
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4070
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4072
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4075
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4078
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4079
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4081
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4082
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4084
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4085
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4087
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4088
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4091
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4092
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4094
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4095
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4097
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4098
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4099
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4100
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4102
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4103
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4106
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4107
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4108
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4110
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4111
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4112
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4113
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4114
every revision each side had in common.
4115
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4117
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4118
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4120
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4121
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4122
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4123
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4128
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4129
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4130
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4131
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4133
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4135
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4137
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4143
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4144
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4145
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4147
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4148
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4149
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4150
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4152
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4153
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4155
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4156
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4157
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4158
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4160
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4161
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4162
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4163
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4168
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4169
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4170
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4172
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4174
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4175
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4177
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4178
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4180
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4181
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4186
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4187
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4188
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4190
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4191
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4192
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4195
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4196
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4199
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
4206
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4207
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4208
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4209
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4210
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4211
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4212
and faster performance.
4217
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4218
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4219
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

4253
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4255
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4256
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4258
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4259
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4260
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4262
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4263
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4264
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4265
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4266
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4267
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4270
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4271
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4272
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4273
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4278
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4280
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4281
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4282
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4284
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4285
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4286
See the User Reference for signature details.
4287
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4289
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4290
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4295
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4296
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4297
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4298
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4300
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4301
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4303
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4304
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4305
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4308
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4311
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4312
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4313
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4315
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4318
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4319
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4321
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4322
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4324
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4325
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4326
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4328
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4329
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4330
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4331
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4332
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4334
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4335
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4337
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4338
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4343
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4344
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4345
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4346
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4347
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4348
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4350
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4351
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4353
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4354
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4355
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4357
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4358
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4360
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4361
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4362
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4363
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4365
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4366
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4367
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4368
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4369
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4371
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4373
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4374
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4376
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4378
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4379
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4381
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4382
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4387
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4389
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4391
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4393
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4398
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4399
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4400
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4402
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4403
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4404
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4405
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4407
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4408
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4409
release. (James Westby)
4411
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4414
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4416
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4417
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4419
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4420
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4422
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4423
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4425
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4426
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4427
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4429
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4430
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4431
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4432
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4434
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4435
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4436
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4437
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4439
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4440
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4441
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4442
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4443
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4444
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4446
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4447
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4448
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4450
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4451
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4453
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4454
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4457
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4458
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4460
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4461
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4463
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4464
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4466
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4467
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4468
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4470
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4471
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4472
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4473
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4474
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4475
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4480
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4481
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4482
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4483
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4485
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4486
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4487
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4488
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4492
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4493
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4496
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4497
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4499
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4501
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4502
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4503
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4508
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4510
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4513
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4514
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4515
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4516
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4517
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4518
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4520
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4521
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4523
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4524
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4525
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4526
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4528
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4529
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4531
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4532
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4574
********************
4576
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4577
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4582
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4583
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4584
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4585
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4588
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4589
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4590
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4591
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4592
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4593
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4595
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4596
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,

and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.

(Alexander Belchenko)
4600
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4602
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4603
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4608
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4609
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4611
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4612
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4618
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4620
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4622
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4623
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4624
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4626
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4627
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4629
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4630
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4632
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4633
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4634
(Alexander Belchenko)
4636
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4637
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4638
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4639
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4641
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4644
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4645
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4646
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4647
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4648
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4653
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4654
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4655
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4656
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4658
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4659
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4661
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4662
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4664
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4665
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4666
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4668
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4669
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4671
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4674
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4675
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4677
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4679
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4681
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4682
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4684
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4685
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4687
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4688
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4690
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4691
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4693
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4694
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4696
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4697
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4702
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4703
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4708
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4709
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4710
(Alexander Belchenko)
4715
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4717
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4718
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4724
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4725
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4726
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4728
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4729
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4730
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4731
(Alexander Belchenko)
4733
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4734
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4735
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4736
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4738
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4739
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4740
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4743
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4744
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4745
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4747
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4748
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4749
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4751
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4752
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4753
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4754
format. (Robert Collins)
4763
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
4770
********************
4772
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4773
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4774
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4775
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4776
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4782
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4783
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4785
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4786
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4787
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4789
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4790
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4791
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4792
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4793
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4794
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4800
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4801
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4803
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4804
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4805
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4808
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4809
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4810
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4811
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4812
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4814
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4815
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4816
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4817
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4818
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4819
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4820
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4821
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4826
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4827
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4829
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4830
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4832
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4833
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4835
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4836
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4837
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4839
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4840
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4841
(John Arbash Meinel)
4846
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4847
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4849
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4850
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4852
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4853
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4855
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4856
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4857
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4859
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4860
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4861
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4863
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4864
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4866
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4867
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4868
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4869
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4870
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4872
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4874
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4875
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4878
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4879
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4881
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4882
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4884
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4887
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4888
more characters which should be considered valid.
4889
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4891
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4892
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4894
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4895
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4900
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4901
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4903
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4904
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4910
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4911
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4917
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4918
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4919
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4921
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4922
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4923
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4925
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4926
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4927
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4928
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4930
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4932
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4933
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4934
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4935
server. (Robert Collins)
4937
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4938
operate. (Robert Collins)
4940
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4941
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4942
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4944
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4945
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4946
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4947
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4949
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4950
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4952
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4953
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4954
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4956
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4957
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4959
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4960
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4962
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4963
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4964
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4965
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

4973
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
4974
#####################
4979
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4980
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4981
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4982
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4984
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4985
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4986
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4987
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4992
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4995
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
4998
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4999
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5004
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5007
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5008
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5009
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5011
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5013
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5014
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5015
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5016
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5017
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5019
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5020
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5021
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5023
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5024
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5026
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5029
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5031
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5033
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5036
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5037
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5042
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
5043
(Martin Pool, #180208)
5045
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
5046
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
5048
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
5051
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5052
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5054
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5055
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
5057
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5058
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5060
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5061
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5063
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5064
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5065
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5067
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5070
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5071
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5074
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5076
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5077
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5078
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5080
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5081
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5083
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5086
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5089
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5090
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5092
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5095
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5096
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5099
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5100
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5106
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5109
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5110
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5111
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5112
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5113
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5114
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
5116
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
5121
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
5124
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
5125
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
5127
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5129
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5130
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5131
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5134
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5135
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5137
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5146
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5147
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5148
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5150
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5151
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5154
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5155
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5157
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5158
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5160
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5161
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5163
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5164
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5165
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5167
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5168
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5170
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5171
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5173
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5174
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5177
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5178
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5180
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5181
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
5190
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5192
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
5195
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
5197
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and

* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5232
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.

5250
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5252
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
5255
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
5258
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
5259
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
5260
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
5261
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5263
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
5266
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
5267
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
5269
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
5270
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
5271
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5273
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5274
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5275
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5276
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5277
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5278
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
5279
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
5280
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
5281
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

Notes When Upgrading
5323
********************
5325
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5326
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5327
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5328
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5330
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5331
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5333
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5334
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5336
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5337
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5338
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5339
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5340
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5341
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5342
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5343
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5344
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5345
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5346
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5347
from any tree without problems.
5348
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5353
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5354
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5355
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5357
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5358
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5364
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5365
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5366
supported transports.
5369
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5370
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5371
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5373
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5374
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5376
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5377
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5378
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5379
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5381
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5382
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5387
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5388
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5389
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5390
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5392
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5393
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5394
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5395
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5397
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5398
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5400
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5401
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5403
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5404
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5406
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5407
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5413
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5416
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5417
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5420
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5421
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5422
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5423
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5425
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5426
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5427
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5428
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5436
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5437
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5439
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5440
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5442
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5443
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5445
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5446
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5448
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5449
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5451
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5452
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5454
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5455
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5457
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5460
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5463
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5464
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5467
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5468
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5470
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5471
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5473
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5474
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5476
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5479
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5480
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5481
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5482
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5484
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5486
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5487
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5488
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5490
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5491
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5493
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5495
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5497
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5498
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5500
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5501
specify a port in urls.
5502
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5504
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5505
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5507
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5508
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5510
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5511
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5513
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5514
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5516
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5517
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5518
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5520
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5522
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5523
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5525
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5528
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5529
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5531
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5532
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5534
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5535
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5536
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5538
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5539
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5541
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5542
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5543
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5544
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5546
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5547
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5549
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5550
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5551
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5553
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5554
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5556
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5559
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5565
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5566
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5568
* The return value of
5569
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5570
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5571
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5572
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5574
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5577
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5578
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5585
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5586
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5587
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5590
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5591
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5593
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5602
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
5605
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
5606
######################
5611
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5612
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5614
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5615
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5616
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5617
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5618
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5619
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5620
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5621
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5622
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5623
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5624
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5625
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5631
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5632
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5633
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5634
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5635
commands. (Robert Collins)
5637
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5638
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5639
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5642
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5644
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5645
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5647
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5648
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5651
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5652
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5653
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5658
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5659
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5661
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5662
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5664
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5665
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5666
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5667
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5669
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5672
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5673
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5674
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5675
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5677
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5678
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5680
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5681
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5683
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5684
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5686
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5687
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5692
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5693
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5695
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5696
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5698
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5699
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5701
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5702
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5704
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5705
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5710
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5712
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5718
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5719
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5720
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5722
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5723
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5725
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5726
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5728
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5729
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5730
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5731
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5733
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5734
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5735
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5736
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5737
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5739
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5740
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5742
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5744
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5746
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5747
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5749
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5752
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5755
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5756
contains a symbolic link.
5757
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5759
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5760
(James Westby, #140615)
5762
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5763
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5766
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5767
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5768
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5770
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5772
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5775
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5779
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5780
directory to detect leaking tests.
5781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5783
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5784
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5785
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5787
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5790
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5791
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5793
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5799
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5800
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5802
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5803
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5804
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5806
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5807
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5808
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5810
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5811
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5813
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5814
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5816
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5817
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5820
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5821
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5823
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5824
class that needs it.
5827
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5828
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5830
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5831
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5832
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5834
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5835
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5836
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5839
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5840
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5841
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5842
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5848
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5849
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5850
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5852
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5853
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5854
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5855
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5857
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5858
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5861
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5862
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5863
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5865
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5866
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5867
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5869
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5870
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5872
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5873
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5874
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5876
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5877
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5879
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5880
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5881
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5883
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5884
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5885
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5887
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5888
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5889
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5890
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5892
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5893
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5894
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5895
returned. (Robert Collins)
5897
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5898
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5900
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5901
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5902
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5903
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5906
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5907
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5912
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5913
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5915
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5916
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5917
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5918
makes this behavior available to other users.
5921
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5922
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5931
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5932
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5933
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5935
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5937
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5938
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5939
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5940
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5942
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5943
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5947
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5948
######################
5950
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5951
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5954
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5955
######################
5960
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5961
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5962
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5963
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5966
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5967
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5968
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5974
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5975
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5976
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5979
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5980
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5981
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5983
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5984
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5985
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5987
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5988
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5990
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5991
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5992
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5993
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5994
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5995
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5996
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5997
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5998
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5999
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6001
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6002
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6004
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6005
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6006
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6011
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6012
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6014
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6015
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6016
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6018
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6019
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6021
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6022
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6024
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6027
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6028
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6030
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6031
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6033
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6034
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6036
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6037
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6039
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6041
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6044
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6045
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6046
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6047
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6049
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6051
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6052
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6055
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6056
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6058
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6059
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6062
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6063
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6065
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6066
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6068
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6069
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6070
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6071
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6072
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6073
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6074
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6076
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6077
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6079
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6080
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6082
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6083
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6085
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6086
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6088
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6092
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6093
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6095
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6096
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6097
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6099
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6100
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6101
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6106
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6107
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6109
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6112
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6115
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6116
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6118
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6120
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6121
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6123
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6124
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6126
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6127
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6128
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6129
space). (Robert Collins)
6131
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6132
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6135
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6136
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6138
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6139
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6141
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6142
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6143
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6144
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6146
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6147
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6148
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6151
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6154
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6155
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6156
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6158
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6159
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6160
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6161
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6162
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6167
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6168
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6170
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6171
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6172
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6173
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6174
affected. (Robert Collins)
6176
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6177
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6178
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6181
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6182
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6187
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6188
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6190
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6191
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6193
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6194
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6196
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6199
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6200
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6205
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6206
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6207
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6208
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6210
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6211
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6213
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6214
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6215
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6216
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6218
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6219
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6220
present. (Robert Collins)
6222
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6223
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6224
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6225
API. (Robert Collins)
6227
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6228
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6231
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6232
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6234
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6235
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6236
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6237
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6238
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6239
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6241
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6242
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6243
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6245
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6246
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6247
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6248
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6251
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6254
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6255
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6256
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6257
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6258
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6259
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6260
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6262
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6263
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6264
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6265
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6267
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6268
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6269
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6270
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6271
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6272
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6274
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6275
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6276
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6278
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6279
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6288
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6289
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6290
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6291
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6292
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6293
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6294
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6295
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6301
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6302
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6303
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6306

######################
6312
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6313
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6314
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6315
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

6325
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6326
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.

* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6330
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6333
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6336
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists

(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6339
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6340
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6342
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6343
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6345
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6346
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6348
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6349
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6351
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6357
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6358
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6360
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6361
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6363
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6364
the repository (Robert Collins)
6366
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6367
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6368
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6369
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6370
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6372
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6373
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6375
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6376
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6377
(John Arbash Meinel)
6379
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6380
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6381
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6383
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6384
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6385
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).

* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6389
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6392
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6393
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6395
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6398
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6400
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6402
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6403
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6405
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6406
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6409
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6410
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6411
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6412
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6414
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6415
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6416
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6418
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6419
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6420
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6422
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6423
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6425
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6426
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6427
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6428
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6429
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6430
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6433
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6434
(Alexander Belchenko)
6436
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6437
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6439
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6440
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6442
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6444
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6445
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6450
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6451
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6452
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6453
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6455
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6457
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6460
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6461
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6462
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6463
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6464
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6465
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6470
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6471
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6472
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6473
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6475
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6476
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6477
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6478
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6479
tests have been refactored too.
6482
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6483
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6484
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6488
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6489
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6490
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6492
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6493
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6494
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6495
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6496
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6497
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6498
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6500
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6501
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6502
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6503
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6504
(John Arbash Meinel)
6506
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6507
functionality for testing.
6509
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6511
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6512
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6514
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6516
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6519
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6520
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6522
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6523
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6524
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6526
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6529
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6530
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6532
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6533
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6534
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6535
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6537
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6538
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6540
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6541
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6542
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6544
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6547
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6548
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6549
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6550
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6551
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6552
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6554
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6555
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6556
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6557
many files. (Robert Collins)
6559
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6560
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6561
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6562
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6567
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6568
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6569
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6571
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6572
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6574
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6575
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6576
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6643
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
6644
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6645
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
6646
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.

6659
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6660
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
6662

stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
6665
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6666
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6667
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6668
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6669
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6671
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6672
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
6674
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6675
can be slow it is useful feedback).

These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
6733
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6735
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6736
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
6737
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
6739
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
6740
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
6742
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
6743
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6745
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6747
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6748
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6749
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6750
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6751
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6752
same location. (Robert Collins)

* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6759
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6761
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6763
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6766
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6769
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6770
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6771
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6773
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6775
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6776
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6777
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6779
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6780
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6782
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6783
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6784
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6786
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6787
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6788
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6790
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6791
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6792
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6794
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6795
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6798
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6799
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6801
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6802
(Alexander Belchenko)
6807
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6808
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6809
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6810
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6812
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6813
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6814
testing. (Robert Collins)
6816
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6817
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6819
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6820
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6821
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6822
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6823
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6824
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6825
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6827
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6828
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6829
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6830
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6832
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6833
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6835
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6836
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6857
********************
6859
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6860
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6861
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6862
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6863
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6864
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6865
and unlock() like so::
6867
work_tree.lock_read()
6869
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6875
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6876
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6878
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6879
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6880
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6882
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6883
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6884
too. (Robert Collins)
6889
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6890
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6893
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6894
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6896
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6897
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6899
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6900
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6901
understanding what changes have occurred
6902
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6904
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6905
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6906
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6908
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6909
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6910
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6911
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6913
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6919
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6920
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6921
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6922
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6923
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6925
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6926
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6927
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6929
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6932
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6936
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6937
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6939
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6940
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6942
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6943
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6945
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6946
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6948
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.

(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6951
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6952
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6953
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6956
####################
6961
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6962
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6963
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6964
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6965
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6967
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6968
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6969
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6971
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6972
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6977
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6978
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6979
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6981
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6982
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6983
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6984
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

6993
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr

6995
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)

Notes When Upgrading
7014
********************
7016
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7017
it could be recovered again.
7018
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7019
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7020
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7022
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7024
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7025
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7030
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7031
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7033
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7034
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7035
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7036
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7038
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7039
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7041
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7042
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7043
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7045
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7046
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7047
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7049
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7050
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7051
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7053
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7054
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7057
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7060
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7061
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7062
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7063
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7065
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7068
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7069
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7070
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7073
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7074
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7076
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7077
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7079
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7080
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7081
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7082
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7085
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7086
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7088
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7089
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7091
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7092
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7093
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7095
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7096
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7097
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7099
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7100
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7101
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7103
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7104
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7105
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7106
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7108
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7109
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7110
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7111
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7113
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7114
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7115
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7116
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7117
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7118
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7119
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7120
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7127
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7128
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7130
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7131
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7132
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7133
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7134
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7136
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7137
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7139
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7140
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7142
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7143
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7145
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7146
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7148
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7149
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7150
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7153
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7154
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7155
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7156
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7157
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7160
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7161
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7162
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7164
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7165
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7168
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7169
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7170
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7173
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7174
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7175
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7176
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7177
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7179
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7180
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7181
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7182
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7184
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7185
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7187
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7188
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7189
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7190
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7191
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7192
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7194
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7195
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7197
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7198
help. (Robert Collins)
7200
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7201
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7203
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7204
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7205
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7206
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7207
(John Arbash Meinel)
7209
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7210
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7211
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7212
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7213
useful. (Robert Collins)
7215
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7221
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7222
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7224
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7225
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7227
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7228
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7229
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7231
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7234
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7235
the file, and does it faster.
7236
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7238
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7239
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7240
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7242
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7243
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7244
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7245
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7247
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7248
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7249
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7250
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7252
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7253
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7255
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7256
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7257
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7258
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7261
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7263
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7264
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7266
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7267
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7269
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7270
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7271
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7272
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7276
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7282
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7283
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7284
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7286
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7287
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7289
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7290
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7291
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7292
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7293
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7294
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7295
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7296
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7298
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7299
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7300
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7302
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7303
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7304
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7305
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7306
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7308
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7310
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7311
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7312
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7314
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7315
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7324
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7327
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7328
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7331
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7332
#######################
7337
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7338
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7344
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7345
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7346
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7347
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7348
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7349
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7350
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7351
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7357
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7358
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7359
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7361
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7362
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7365
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7366
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7367
(John Arbash Meinel)
7369
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7370
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7371
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7372
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7373
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7378
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7381
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7382
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7384
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7385
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7387
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7388
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7389
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7391
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7392
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7394
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7395
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7396
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7397
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7398
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7400
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7401
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7402
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7404

Notes When Upgrading
7411
********************
7413
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7414
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7415
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7420
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7421
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7423
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7424
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7426
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7428
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7429
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7431
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7432
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7437
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7443
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7444
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7445
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7446
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)

* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7449
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7451
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7452
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07

#######################
7467
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7468
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7469
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7470
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7471
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7472
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7474
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7475
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7476
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7477
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7478
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7479
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7481
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7483
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7484
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7485
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7486
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7487
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7488
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7489
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7490
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7495
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7496
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7498
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7499
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7500
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7501
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7503
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7504
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7505
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7506
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7507
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7509
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7512
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7515
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7518
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7519
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7522
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7525
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7526
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7528
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7529
directory. (Martin Pool)
7531
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7532
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7533
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7534
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7536
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7537
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7538
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7539
in docs/configuration.txt.
7541
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7542
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7545
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7546
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7547
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7548
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7549
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7550
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7552
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7553
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7555
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7556
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7558
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7564
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7565
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7566
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7567
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7568
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7569
(John Arbash Meinel)
7571
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7572
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7575
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7576
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7577
(John Arbash Meinel)
7579
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7580
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7581
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7582
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7583
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7584
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7586
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7587
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7588
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7590
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7591
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7592
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7593
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7595
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7597
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7598
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7599
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7600
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7602
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7603
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7604
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7605
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7607
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7608
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7609
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7611
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7612
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7613
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7615
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7616
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7617
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7618
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7620
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7621
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7622
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7624
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7625
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7626
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7628
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7629
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7630
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7631
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7632
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7633
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7634
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7635
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7636
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7637
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7638
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7643
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7644
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7645
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7647
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7650
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7651
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7652
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7653
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7655
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional

* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7660

7665
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.

7707
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

7718
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7719
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7720
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7721
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7723
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7726
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7727
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7728
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7730
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7731
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7733
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7736
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7737
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7738
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7739
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7740
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7741
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7743
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7744
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7745
should enable you to do::
7747
[/home/user/project]
7748
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7749
push_location:policy = appendpath
7751
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7752
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7755
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7756
for each file. For example::
7758
$ bzr status --short
7764
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7765
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7767
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7769
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7770
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7772
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7777
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7778
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7779
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7780
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7782
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7783
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7784
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7786
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7788
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7789
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7790
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7791
(Alexander Belchenko)
7793
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7796
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7797
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7799
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7804
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7805
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7807
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7808
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7809
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7810
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7811
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7813
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7814
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7816
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7817
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7819
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7821
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7823
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7824
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7825
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7826
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7827
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7829
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7830
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7831
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7832
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7834
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7835
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7837
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7838
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
7840
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

7863
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7864
operations are substantially faster.
7865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
7867
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
7868

7869
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7870
(Daniel Silverstone)
7872
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7873
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7874
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7875
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7877
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7880
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7881
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7882
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7883
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7884
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7885
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7890
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7891
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7894
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7895
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7896
(John Arbash Meinel)
7898
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7899
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7900
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7901
(John Arbash Meinel)
7903
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7904
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7906
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7907
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7909
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7910
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7916
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7917
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7918
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7920
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7921
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7922
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7923
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7925
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7927
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7928
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7930
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7931
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7932
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7935
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7936
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7937
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7939
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7940
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7941
them as full references rather than integers.
7942
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7944
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7945
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)

(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7955
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7956
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7957
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7958
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7960
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7961
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7962
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7964
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7965
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7967
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7968
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7969
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7996
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7997
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7998
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8000
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8001
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8003
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8005
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8006
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8007
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8008
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8010
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8011
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8012
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8013
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8019
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8020
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8025
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8026
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8027
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8029
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8030
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8031
(John Arbash Meinel)
8033
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8034
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8035
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8037
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8038
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8041
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8042
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8043
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8045
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8046
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8047
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8048
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8049
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8050
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8052
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8053
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8054
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8057
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8058
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8063
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8064
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using

``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8068
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8069
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8071
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8072
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8073
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8075
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8076
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8078
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8079
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8080
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8081
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8083
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8084
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8086
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8087
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8088
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
8090
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8091
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8093
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8095
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8096
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
8102
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
8103
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8104
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8105
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8107
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8108
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8109
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

8133
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8134
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8135
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8136
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8137
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8138
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8139
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8141
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8142
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8143
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8145
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8147
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8148
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8150
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8151
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8152
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8155
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8156
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8157
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8158
(John Arbash Meinel)
8160
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8161
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8162
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8163
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8166
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8167
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8168
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8169
(John Arbash Meinel)
8174
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8175
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8177
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8179
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8180
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8181
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8183
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8184
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8186
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8187
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8189
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
8192
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8193
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8195
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8197
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8198
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8200
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8201
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8203
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8204
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8206
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8207
(John Arbash Meinel)
8209
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8210
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8211
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8213
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8214
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8216
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8217
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8218
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8219
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8221
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8222
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8223
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8225
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8226
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8231
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8236
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8237
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8238
(John Arbash Meinel)
8240
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8241
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8242
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8243
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8245
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8248
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8249
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8250
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8252
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8253
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8255
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8256
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8257
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8259
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8260
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8261
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8262
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8263
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8264
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8265
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8266
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8267
caller to repeat their request.
8268
(John Arbash Meinel)
8270
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8271
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8273
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8274
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8276
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8277
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8278
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8279
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8280
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8281
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8282
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8284
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8285
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8286
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8287
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8288
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8289
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8290
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8291
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8294
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8295
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8296
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8298
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8299
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8301
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8302
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8304
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8305
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8310
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8311
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8313
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8314
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8315
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8317
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8318
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8319
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8322
####################
8326
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8327
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8329
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8330
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8331
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8332
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8333
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8335
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8336
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8337
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8339
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8340
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8342
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8343
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8344
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8349
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8351
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8352
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8353
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8355
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8357
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8359
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8360
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8361
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8362
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8364
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8365
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8366
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8367
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8368
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)

* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8371

8374
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8376
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8377
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)

* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8380
in handling of revision properties.
8381
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8383
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8384
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8389
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8390
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8391
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8392
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8393
(John Arbash Meinel)
8395
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8396
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8397
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

#####################
8405
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8406
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8407
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8408
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8409
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8410
a more conservative list than the old default.
8411
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8412
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8413
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8414
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8416
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8417
to more locations than just branch locations.
8423
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8424
revno:N:branch. For example,
8425
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8426
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8428
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8429
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8430
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8431
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8432
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8433
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8434
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8435

* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8439
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and

8443
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.

(Alexander Belchenko)
8446
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8448
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8451
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8452
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8453
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8454
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8455
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8456
(John Arbash Meinel)
8458
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8459
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8460
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8461
grained analysis of performance.
8462
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8464
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8465
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8467
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8468
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8469
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8470
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8471
file. (Robert Collins).
8473
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8474
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8475
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8477
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8478
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8481
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8482
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8484
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8485
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8486
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8487
the same way you would apply another branch.
8488
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8490
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8491
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8493
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8496
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8499
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8500
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8501
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8503
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8504
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8505
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8507
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8508
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8510
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8511
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8512
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8513
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8514
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8516
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8517
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8519
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8520
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8521
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8522
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8523
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8524
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8525
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8526
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8528
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8529
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8530
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8535
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8537
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8539
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8540
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8542
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8543
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8545
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8546
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8548
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8550
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8551
(John Arbash Meinel)
8553
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8554
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8556
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8557
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8560
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8561
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8563
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8564
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8566
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8567
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8568
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8569
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)

* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8576
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8577
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8579
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8581
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8583
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8584
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8586
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8587
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8589
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8590
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8591
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8593
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8594
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8595
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8597
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8598
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8600
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8601
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8603
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8604
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8606
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8607
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8609
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8610
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8612
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8613
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8614
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8616
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8618
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8619
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8624
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8625
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8626
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8628
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8629
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8631
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8632
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8633
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8635
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8636
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8638
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8639
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8642
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8643
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8644
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8646
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8647
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8648
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8650
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8651
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8652
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8654
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8655
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8656
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8658
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8659
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8660
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8662
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``

8732
Notes When Upgrading
8733
********************
8735
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8736
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8737
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8738
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8739
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8740
will keep the same format.
8742
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8743
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8744
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8745
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8746
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8748
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8749
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8750
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8751
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8752
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8753
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8754
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8756
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8757
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8758
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8759
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8760
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8762
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8763
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8764
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8771
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8772
convention. Paths now take the form::
8774
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8776
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8778
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8779
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8781
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8782
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8783
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8785
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8786
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8787
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8788
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8790
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8791
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8792
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8794
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8796
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8798
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8799
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8802
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8803
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8806
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8808
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8809
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8810
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8813
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8815
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8817
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8820
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8821
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8823
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8824
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8827
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8828
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8831
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8833
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8835
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8836
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8838
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8839
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8840
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8841
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8842
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8843
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8845
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8847
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8848
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8851
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8852
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8854
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8855
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8857
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8859
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8860
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8861
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8862
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8863
specification by Martin Pool.
8864
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8866
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8869
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8870
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8872
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8873
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8874
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8876
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8878
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8879
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8885
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8886
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8888
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8890
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8892
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8895
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8896
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8897
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8898
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8903
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8904
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8905
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8906
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8908
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8909
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8910
tried. (Martin Pool)
8912
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8915
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8917
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8918
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8919
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8921
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8922
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8924
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8925
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8926
paths. (Robert Collins)
8928
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8929
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8930
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8932
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8933
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8934
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8936
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8937
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8938
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8940
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8943
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8946
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8948
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8950
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8951
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8952
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8955
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8956
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8958
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8959
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8960
check. (Robert Collins)
8962
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8963
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8968
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8969
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8971
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8972
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8973
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8974
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8976
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8977
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8978
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8979
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8980
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8982
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8983
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8984
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8986
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8988
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8989
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8997
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8998
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9000
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9001
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9002
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9005
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9006
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9008
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9009
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9010
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9011
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9012
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9014
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9015
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9016
used. (Robert Collins)
9018
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9019
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9022
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9023
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9024
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9026
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9029
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9030
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9035
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9036
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9038
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9040
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9042
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9043
tree. (Robert Collins)
9045
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9046
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9047
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9050
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9053
* Tweaks to short log printing
9055
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9058
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9059
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9061
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9062
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9064
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9065
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9067
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9068
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9069
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9071
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9072
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9074
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9075
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9078
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9079
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9081
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9082
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9084
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9085
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9087
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9090
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9091
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9093
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9094
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9096
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9097
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9098
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9103
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9105
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9107
* Error when run with -OO
9109
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9112
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9114
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9116
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9117
ignored by diff and status
9119
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9120
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9122
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9124
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9126
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9127
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9129
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9130
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9132
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9135
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9136
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9138
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9140
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9141
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9143
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9146
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9147
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9149
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9154
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9155
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9157
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9159
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9161
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9163
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9164
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9165
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9167
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9169
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9170
(John Arbash Meinel)
9172
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9174
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9175
If adding a new test script please add that to
9176
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9178
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9179
imported. (Martin Pool)
9181
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9182
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9183
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9184
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9185
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9188
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9189
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9190
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9192
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9193
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9194
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9196
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9197
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9198
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9199
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9200
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9203
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9204
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9210
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9211
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9213
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9214
function. (Robert Collins)
9216
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9217
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9218
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9220
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9221
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9224
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9225
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9226
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9227
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9228
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9229
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9230
version. (Robert Collins)
9232
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9233
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9235
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9236
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9237
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9238
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9239
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9240
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9242
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9245
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9255
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9257
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9259
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9262
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9263
query method. (Robert Collins)
9265
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9268
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9271
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9274
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9275
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9276
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9277
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9279
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9280
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9281
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9282
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9284
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9285
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9293
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9296
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9300
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9301
a separator, not ':'.
9304
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9305
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9306
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9308
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9309
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9312
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9313
has been added that suppresses all output.
9315
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9318
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9319
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9321
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9322
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9324
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9325
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9327
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9328
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9329
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9330
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9332
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9334
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9335
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9337
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9338
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9340
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9341
output directory, if one was supplied.
9343
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9344
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9345
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9346
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9348
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9350
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9351
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9353
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9354
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9355
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9357
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9358
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9360
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9363
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9365
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9370
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9371
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9372
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9374
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9375
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9376
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9378
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9379
is given. (Martin Pool)
9381
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9382
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9383
file. (Robert Collins)
9385
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9391
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9392
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9393
representation. (Martin Pool).
9395
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9396
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9397
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9399
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9402
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9403
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9406
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9407
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9408
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9409
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9410
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9412
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9413
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9414
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9415
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9416
python path. (Robert Collins)
9418
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9419
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9420
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9421
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9423
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9424
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9426
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9427
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9430
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9431
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9432
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9434
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9435
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9436
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9438
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9439
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9441
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9442
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9443
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9446
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9447
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9448
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9449
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9452
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9455
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9456
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9459
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9460
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9461
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9463
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9464
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9465
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9467
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9468
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9469
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9471
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9472
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9474
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9475
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9476
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9477
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9478
caller. (Robert Collins)
9480
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9481
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9484
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9485
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9488
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9490
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9491
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9496
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9497
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9499
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9500
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9510
allow directories to be listed.
9512
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9513
upgrading branch format.
9518
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9527
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9528
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9529
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9530
high-latency connections.
9535
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9538
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9539
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9541
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9542
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9543
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9544
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9546
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9547
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9549
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9550
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9552
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9553
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9554
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9556
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9557
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9558
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9561
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9562
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9564
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9565
different partial views of history.
9567
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9568
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9573
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9574
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9575
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9577
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9578
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9581
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9582
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9584
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9587
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9588
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9590
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9591
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9592
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9593
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9595
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9597
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9598
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9601
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9602
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9604
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9605
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9606
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9612
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9613
for your viewing pleasure.
9615
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9616
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9618
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9619
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9620
handling of such circumstances.
9622
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9623
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9624
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9626
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9628
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9629
we call them revisions not patches.
9631
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9632
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9634
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9635
giving the revision *of that file*.
9637
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9638
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9639
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9644
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9645
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9647
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9648
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9673
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9675
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9676
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.

* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9700
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9701
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9702
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9705
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9708
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9709
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9710
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9711
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9712
for the operating system is still tried.
9714
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9715
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9716
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9722

9822
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9824
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9825
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9826
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9832
* Faster working tree operations.
9838
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9839
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9840
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9841
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9843
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9844
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9845
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9846
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9847
standard plugins directory.
9849
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9850
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9851
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``

``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9864
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9865
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9867
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9868
line options must come before the command name because they
9869
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9870
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9873
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
9875
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
9876
is available with ``--short``.
9882
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

#####################
9891
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9892
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9894
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9895
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9896
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9897
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9899
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9900
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9901
with the ``--forward`` option.
9903
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9904
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9911
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9912
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9914
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9916
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9917
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9919
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9921
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9922
either read or write mode.
9924
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9926
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
9929
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9931
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9932
suggested by LarstiQ.
9934
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9935
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9937
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9940
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9941
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9943
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9944
haven't changed since the previous time.
9946
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9947
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9949
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9951
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9953
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9954
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9956
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9957
options through to an external GNU diff.
9959
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9962
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9969
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9970
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9972
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9979
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9980
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9983
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9984
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9986
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9987
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9989
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9990
under a different version.
9992
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9998
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
10000
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10001
Scott James Remnant.
10003
* Better help messages for many commands.
10005
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
10006
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
10008
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
10009
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
10011
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
10013
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
10015
* New AtomicFile class.
10017
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
10023
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
10024
2.4 is now only recommended.

10034
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
10036

10053
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
10054
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
10055
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
10056
there are DNS problems.

* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
10064
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
