.. contents:: List of Releases
18
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
19
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
20
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
25
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
26
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
27
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
28
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
29
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
30
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
31
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
33
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
34
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
35
(Robert Collins, #416732)
37
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
38
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
40
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
41
merges are present in the working tree.
42
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
44
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
45
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
47
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
48
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
49
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
50
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
51
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
52
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
53
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
55
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
56
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
58
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
59
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
60
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
61
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
62
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
63
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
65
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
66
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
68
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
69
repository, such as revisions without inventories or inventories without
70
chk_bytes root records.
71
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506)
73
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
74
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
75
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
83
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
84
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
89
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
90
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
95
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
96
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
97
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
100
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
101
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
107
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
108
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
110
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
111
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
112
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
115
bzr 2.0rc2 (not released yet)
116
#############################
121
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
122
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
123
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
128
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
129
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
130
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
131
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
132
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
133
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
134
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
136
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
137
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
138
(Robert Collins, #416732)
140
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
141
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
143
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
144
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
145
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
147
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
148
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
150
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
151
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
152
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
153
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
154
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
155
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
156
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
158
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
159
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
160
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
161
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
162
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
163
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
165
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
166
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
167
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
169
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
170
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
171
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
173
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
174
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
175
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
177
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
178
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
180
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
181
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
182
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
183
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
188
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
190
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
192
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
193
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
195
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
196
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
203
:Codename: no worries
206
This release of Bazaar makes 2a 'brisbane-core' format the
207
default. Most of the work in this release now focuses on bug
208
fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and previous formats.
210
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported
211
release, with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at
212
least six months or until the following stable release (we said
213
that previously, but that's worth repeating).
218
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
219
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
220
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
221
into ``rich-root`` repositories from ``2a``. The Upgrade guide
222
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
224
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
225
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
226
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
227
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
232
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
233
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
238
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
239
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
241
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
242
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
243
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
244
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
245
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
247
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
248
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
251
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
254
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
255
(Martin Pool, #286871)
257
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
258
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
259
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
261
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
262
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
263
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
264
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
269
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
270
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
271
(Martin Pool, #409137)
273
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
274
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
275
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
276
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
278
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
280
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
281
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
283
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
284
(Robert Collins, #305006)
286
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
287
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
288
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
290
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
291
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
292
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
293
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
294
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
295
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
300
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
306
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
307
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
308
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
313
bzr 1.18.1 NOT RELEASED YET
314
###########################
319
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
320
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
321
(Martin Pool, #415508)
326
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
327
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
329
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
330
(Robert Collins, #305006)
335
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
336
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
337
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
339
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
340
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
341
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
343
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
344
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
345
should be used. (Robert Collins)
353
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
354
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
355
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
356
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
357
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
365
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
366
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
367
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
368
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
369
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
371
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
374
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
375
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
377
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
378
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
380
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
381
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
382
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
383
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
385
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
386
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
387
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
389
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
390
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
392
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
393
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
394
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
395
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
400
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
401
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
402
(Martin Pool, #409137)
404
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
405
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
406
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
407
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
408
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
410
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
411
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
412
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
424
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
425
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
426
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
427
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
428
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
429
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
431
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
432
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
433
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
434
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
436
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
437
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
438
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
439
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
442
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
443
protocols. (Robert Collins)
445
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
446
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
447
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
448
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
454
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
455
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)
461
:Codename: little traveller
465
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
466
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
467
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
468
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
469
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
470
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
472
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
473
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
474
or until the following stable release.
476
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
481
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
482
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
484
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
485
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
486
(Martin Pool, #391411)
491
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
492
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
493
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
495
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
496
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
497
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
498
(Martin Pool, #123688)
500
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
501
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
502
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
503
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
505
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
506
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
508
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
509
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
510
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
511
(Robert Collins, #282402)
513
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
514
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
516
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
517
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
519
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
520
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
521
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
522
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
523
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
525
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
526
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
527
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
529
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
530
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
531
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
532
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
533
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
535
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
536
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
538
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
539
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
540
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
542
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
543
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
544
(Martin Pool, #408201)
546
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
547
(Martin Pool, #403523)
549
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
550
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
551
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
553
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
554
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
556
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
557
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
559
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
560
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
562
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
563
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
564
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
566
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
567
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
568
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
570
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
572
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
573
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
575
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
576
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
577
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
578
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
579
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
580
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
582
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
583
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
584
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
586
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
587
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
588
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
589
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
591
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
592
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
593
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
594
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
595
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
597
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
598
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
599
(Robert Collins, #187207)
604
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
607
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
608
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
609
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
610
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
612
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
613
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
619
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
624
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
625
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
626
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
627
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
628
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
629
passwords. (Martin Pool)
631
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
634
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
637
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
641
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
642
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
647
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
648
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
649
paths. (Robert Collins)
651
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
652
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
654
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
655
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
656
disk. (Robert Collins)
658
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
661
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
662
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
663
(Alexander Belchenko)
669
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
670
(Martin Pool, #409684)
672
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
673
(Martin Pool, #408199)
675
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
676
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
677
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
678
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
679
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
680
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
683
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
684
#######################
689
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
690
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
691
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

701
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
702
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
705
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
706
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
707
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
708
annoying progress bar artifacts.
711
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
712
*********************************
714
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
715
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
716
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
718
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
719
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
720
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
722
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
723
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
729
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
730
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
731
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
732
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
738
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
739
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
740
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
741
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
743
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
744
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
745
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
747
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
748
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
749
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
753
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
754
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
755
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
756
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
762
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
763
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
765
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
766
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
767
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
768
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
770
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
771
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
773
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
774
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
775
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
777
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
778
(Martin Pool, #321935)
780
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
781
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
783
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
784
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
786
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
787
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
788
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
790
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
793
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
794
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
796
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
797
of a remote repository.
798
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
800
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
801
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
804
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
806
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
808
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
809
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
811
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
812
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
814
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
815
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
816
(Martin Pool, #339385)
818
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
819
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
820
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
821
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
824
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
825
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
826
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
828
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
829
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
830
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
831
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
832
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
833
(Robert Collins, #376243)
835
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
836
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
837
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
838
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
839
activity display respectively.
840
(Martin Pool, #340347)
842
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
843
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
845
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
848
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
849
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
855
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
856
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
857
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
858
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
860
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
861
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
862
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
863
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
866
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
867
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
869
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
870
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
871
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
872
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
873
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
874
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
876
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
877
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
878
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
879
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
881
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
882
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
883
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
887
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
888
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
889
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
890
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
896
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
897
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
898
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
899
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
901
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
902
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
903
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
905
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
908
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
909
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
911
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
912
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
913
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
915
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
916
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
917
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
918
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
920
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
926
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
927
formatting in the user reference.
928
(Martin Pool, #249908)
930
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
936
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
939
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
940
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
941
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

#####################
947
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
948
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
949
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
952
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
953
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
954
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
956
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
957
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
962
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
963
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
965
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
966
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
967
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
969
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
970
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
971
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
972
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
973
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
974
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
975
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
977
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
978
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
979
converted data. (Robert Collins)
981
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
982
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
983
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
985
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
986
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
987
that. (Robert Collins)
989
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
990
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
991
repository. (Robert Collins)
993
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
994
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
995
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
996
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
1006
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
1007
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1008
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1009
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
1011
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
1012
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
1013
bug fixes and improvements.
1016
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1017
*********************************
1019
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1020
2a can work correctly.
1021
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1023
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1024
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1025
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1028
Compatibility Breaks
1029
********************
1031
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1032
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1033
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1039
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1040
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1041
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1042
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1043
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1044
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1047
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1048
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1049
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1050
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1052
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1053
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1055
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1056
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1058
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1059
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1060
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1062
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1063
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1069
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1070
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1071
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1073
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1074
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1075
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1076
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1077
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1079
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1080
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1081
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1082
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1084
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1085
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1091
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1092
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1093
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1094
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1100
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1101
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1103
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1104
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1106
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1107
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1108
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1110
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1111
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1113
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1114
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1115
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1117
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1118
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1119
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1120
(John Arbash Meinel)
1122
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1123
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1125
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1126
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1128
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1129
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1131
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1132
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1133
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1134
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1135
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1136
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1138
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1140
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1141
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1143
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1144
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1146
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1147
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1148
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1149
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1150
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1152
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1153
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1154
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1155
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1160
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1161
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1162
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1167
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1169
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1170
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1171
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1173
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1174
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1175
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1177
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1178
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1180
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1181
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1186
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1187
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1192
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
1193
(Martin Pool, #386180)
1195
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1197
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1199
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
1208
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1209
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1210
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1211
revisions introduce the exact same line.
1213
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2

*****************************
1216
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
1217
(Alexander Belchenko)
1219
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1220
*********************************
1222
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1223
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1224
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1225
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Compatibility Breaks
1233
********************
1235
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1236
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1237
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1238
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1243
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1244
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1247
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1248
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1249
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1250
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1252
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1253
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1254
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1255
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1257
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1258
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1261
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1262
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1263
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1268
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1269
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1271
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1272
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1274
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1275
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1276
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1278
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1283
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1284
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1286
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1288
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1289
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1291
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1292
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1294
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1295
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1297
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1298
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1299
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1300
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1302
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1305
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1306
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1308
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1309
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1311
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1312
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1314
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1315
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1317
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1320
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1321
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1323
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1324
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1325
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1326
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1327
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1328
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1329
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1330
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1331
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1332
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1333
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1334
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1335
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1336
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1338
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1339
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1340
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1342
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1343
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1351
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1352
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1353
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1355
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1356
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1357
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1358
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1359
(Alexander Belchenko)
1364
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1365
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1366
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1368
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1369
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1372
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1373
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1374
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1375
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1376
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1378
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1379
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1380
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1382
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1383
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1384
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1385
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1387
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1388
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1389
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1391
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1392
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1394
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1395
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1396
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1397
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1399
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1400
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1401
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1403
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1404
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1406
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1407
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1408
branches. (Robert Collins)
1410
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1411
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1413
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1418
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1419
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1470
********************
1472
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1473
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1474
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1475
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1476
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1478
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1479
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1480
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1482
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1483
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1484
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1485
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1486
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1491
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1492
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1493
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1494
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1495
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1498
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1501
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1502
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1504
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1505
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1506
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1507
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1508
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1510
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1511
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1513
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1516
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1517
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1518
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1519
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1522
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1523
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1524
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1525
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1526
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1528
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1529
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1532
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1538
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1539
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1540
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1542
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1543
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1544
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1545
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1546
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1548
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1549
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1552
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1553
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1554
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1556
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1559
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1562
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1563
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1565
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1566
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1568
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1569
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1571
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1572
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1575
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1576
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1577
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1579
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1580
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1581
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1584
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1585
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1586
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1587
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1589
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1590
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1591
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1592
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1593
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1594
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1595
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1596
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1597
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1599
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1605
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1606
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1607
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1608
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1609
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1610
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1611
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1613
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1614
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1616
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1617
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1618
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1619
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1621
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1622
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1624
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1626
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1629
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1630
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1631
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1633
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1634
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1636
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1637
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1639
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1640
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1641
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1643
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1644
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1645
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1646
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1648
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1650
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1653
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1654
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1655
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1656
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1657
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1659
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1660
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1661
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1662
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1663
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1664
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1665
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1667
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1668
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1670
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1671
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1674
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1675
(James Westby, #341558)
1677
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1678
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1680
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1681
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1686
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1688
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1690
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1691
(James Westby, #336998)
1696
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1699
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1700
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1703
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1704
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1707
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1708
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1709
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1711
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1712
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1713
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1715
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1716
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1717
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1718
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1721
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1722
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1725
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1728
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1729
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1731
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1732
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1733
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1734
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1736
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1737
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1738
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1743
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1744
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1745
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1746
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1747
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1749
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1752
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1753
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1754
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1755
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1761
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1762
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1764
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1765
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1767
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1768
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1769
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1771
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1772
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1773
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1774
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1776
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1777
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1778
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1779
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1781
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1782
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1783
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1785
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1786
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1787
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1789
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1790
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1791
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1793
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1794
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1797
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1798
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1799
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1801
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1802
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1804
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1805
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1806
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1808
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1809
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1812
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1813
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1814
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1816
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1817
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1818
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1819
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1820
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1822
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1823
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1824
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1825
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1827
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1828
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1829
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1830
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1832
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1833
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1834
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1836
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1837
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1840
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1841
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1842
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1844
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1845
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1846
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1847
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1848
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1850
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1851
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1852
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1855
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1856
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1857
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1858
desired. (Robert Collins)
1860
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1861
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1862
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1863
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1865
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1866
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1867
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
1868

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
1879
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
1880
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
1881
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1884
*****************************
1886
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1887
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1888
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1889
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1890
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1891
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1897
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1898
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1899
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1901
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1902
********************************
1904
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1905
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1906
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1911
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1912
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1914
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1915
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1917
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1918
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1920
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1922
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1923
*********************************
1925
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1926
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1927
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1929
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1930
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1932
Compatibility Breaks
1933
********************
1935
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1936
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1937
command may need to be adjusted.
1938
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1943
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1944
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1945
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1947
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1950
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1951
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1952
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1955
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1956
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1958
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1959
(John Arbash Meinel)
1961
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1962
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1964
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1966
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1967
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1970
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1976
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1977
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1978
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1979
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1980
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1981
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1982
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1983
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1986
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1987
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1989
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1990
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1991
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1993
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1994
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1996
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1997
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1998
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2001
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2002
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2003
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2005
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2006
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2007
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2008
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2010
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2013
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2014
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2016
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2017
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2019
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2020
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2021
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2023
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2028
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2029
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2031
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2032
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2033
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2035
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2036
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2037
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2039
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2040
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2042
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2043
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2046
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2047
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2048
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2050
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2051
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2053
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2054
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2056
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2057
(James Westby, #174539)
2059
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2060
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2062
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2063
error branching from old repositories.
2064
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2066
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2067
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2069
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2070
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2071
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2072
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2074
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2075
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2078
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2079
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2081
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2082
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2084
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2085
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2086
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2088
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2089
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2091
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2092
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2097
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2098
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2099
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2102
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2103
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2105
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2106
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2111
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2112
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2113
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2114
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2115
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2117
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2118
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2120
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2121
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2122
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2123
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2124
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2125
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2127
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2128
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2130
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2131
"author" argument being deprecated.
2133
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2135
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2136
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2137
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2138
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2140
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2141
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2142
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2144
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2145
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2146
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2148
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2149
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2151
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2152
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2153
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2154
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2159
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2160
free of virtual file system methods.
2161
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2163
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2164
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2165
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2167
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2168
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2169
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2170
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2171
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2172
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2174
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2176
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2177
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2179
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2180
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2181
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2182
stream the operation.
2183
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2185
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2186
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2188
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2189
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2190
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2191
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2192
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2194
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2195
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2197
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2198
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2199
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2201
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2202
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2205
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2208
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2209
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2210
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2212
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2213
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2214
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2216
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2217
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2218
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2220
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2221
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2222
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2224
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2225
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2226
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2227
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2228
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2230
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2231
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2232
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2233
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2234
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2235
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2237
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2238
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2239
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2240
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2241
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2243
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2244
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2246
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2247
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2249
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2250
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2251
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2252
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2253
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2255
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2256
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

2267
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2268
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2269
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2270
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2271
by showing the rate of network IO.
2273
Changes from RC1 to Final
2274
*************************
2276
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2277
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2279
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2280
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2282
Compatibility Breaks
2283
********************
2285
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2286
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2287
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2288
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2290
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2291
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2292
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2295
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2296
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2297
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2298
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2300
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2301
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2302
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2305
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2310
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2311
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2312
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2315
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2316
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2317
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2319
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2320
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2321
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2322
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2323
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2324
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2325
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2326
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2327
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2333
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2336
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2339
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2340
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2341
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2343
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2344
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2345
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2346
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2347
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2349
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2350
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2352
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2353
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2354
level for better precision.
2357
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2358
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2360
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2361
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2362
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2364
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2365
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2366
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2369
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2370
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2371
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2376
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2378
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2380
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2381
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2382
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2384
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2385
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2386
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2387
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2388
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2389
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2391
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2392
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2394
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2395
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2397
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2398
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2399
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2401
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2402
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2403
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2406
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2407
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2409
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2410
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2411
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2412
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2414
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2415
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2417
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2419
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2424
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2429
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2430
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2433
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2434
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2436
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2437
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2439
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2440
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2442
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2443
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2444
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2445
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2447
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2448
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2449
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2454
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2455
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2456
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2457
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2458
compile buffers, are such an example).
2461
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2462
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2465
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2466
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2467
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2470
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2471
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2473
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2474
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
2481
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2482
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2483
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2484
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2485
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2487
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2488
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2491
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2492
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2497
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2500
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

(John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
2506
#################################
2511
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2512
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2517
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2518
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2520
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2521
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2522
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2523
implement other plugins.
2526
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2532
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2533
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2535
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2536
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2538
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2539
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2540
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2541
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2544
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2545
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2546
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2547
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2548
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2550
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2551
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2552
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2553
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2554
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2559
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2560
control directory. (#139691)
2562
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2563
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2565
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2566
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2568
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2569
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2570
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2572
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2573
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2575
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2576
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2577
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2579
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2580
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2582
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2585
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2586
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2587
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2589
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2590
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2592
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2593
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2594
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2596
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2597
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2598
in the appropriate sections.
2599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2601
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2602
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2603
(John Arbash meinel)
2605
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2608
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2611
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2612
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2614
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2615
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2616
work better with how it splits its requests.
2617
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2619
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2620
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2621
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2623
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2626
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2628
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2629
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2631
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2637
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2638
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2639
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2645
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2646
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2647
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2648
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2650
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2651
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2653
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2654
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2655
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2656
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2658
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2659
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2660
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2661
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2666
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2667
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2668
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2670
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2671
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2672
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2673
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2675
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2676
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2677
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2683
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2684
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2685
(John Arbash Meinel)
2687
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2688
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2689
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2690
(John Arbash Meinel)
2692
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2693
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2694
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2695
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2697
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2698
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2699
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2701
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2702
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2703
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2704
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2706
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2707
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2708
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2709
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2710
(John Arbash Meinel)
2712
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2713
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2715
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2716
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2717
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2719
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2720
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2721
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2722
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2724
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2725
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2726
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2727
(John Arbash Meinel)
2729
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2730
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2731
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2732
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2733
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2734
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2735
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2737
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2738
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2745
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2746
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2747
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2748
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2751
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2756
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2757
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2758
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2759
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2761
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2762
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2763
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2764
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2765
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2768

2769
######################
2771
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2772
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2773
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2774
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2775
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2780
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2781
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2783
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2789
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2790
history just to set the last revision info.
2791
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2793
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2794
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2795
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2796
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2798
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2799
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2800
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2801
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2802
(John Arbash Meinel)
2804
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2805
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2807
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2808
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2809
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2810
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2811
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2813
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2814
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2815
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2816
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2821
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2822
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2824
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2825
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2827
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2828
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2829
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2830
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2832
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2833
starting with a dotted revno.
2834
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2836
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2837
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2838
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2840
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2841
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2842
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2844
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2845
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2846
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2848
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2849
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2850
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2851
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2853
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2854
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2855
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2857
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2858
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2863
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2864
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2865
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2866
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2868
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2869
have changed incompatibly.
2871
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2872
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2873
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2874
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2875
don't need to change.
2877
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2878
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2883
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2884
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2886
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2892
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2893
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2894
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2895
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2896
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2897
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2902
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2903
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2905
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2907
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2908
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2918
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2919
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2921
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2922
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2923
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2924
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2929
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2930
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2931
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2932
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2933
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2934
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2936
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2937
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2939
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2940
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2941
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2943
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2944
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2945
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2948
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2949
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2951
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2952
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2954
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2955
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2957
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2958
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2959
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2960
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2961
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2962
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2963
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2964
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2965
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2966
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2971
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2972
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2974
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2975
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2977
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2978
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2979
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2981
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2982
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2983
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2985
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2986
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2987
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2989
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2990
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2991
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2992
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2993
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2994
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2996
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2997
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2999
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3000
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3002
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3003
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3004
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3005
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3006
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3008
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3009
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3010
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3011
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3016
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3021
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3026
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3027
configuration of authetication credentials.
3033
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3034
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3035
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3036
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3037
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3042
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3043
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3048
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3049
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3052
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
3053
#####################
3058
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3059
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3060
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3061
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3062
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3064
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3065
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3067
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3068
server. (Marius Kruger)
3070
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3071
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3072
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3073
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3074
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3075
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3080
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3081
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3082
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3089
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3090
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3091
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3092
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3094
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3095
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3098
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3099
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3102
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3105
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3107
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3108
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3110
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3111
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3113
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3114
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3115
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3116
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3117
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3118
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3119
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3120
operations. (Robert Collins)
3122
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3124
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3125
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3126
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3131
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3132
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3133
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3135
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3136
repository now preserves the repository format.
3137
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3139
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3142
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3145
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3149
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3152
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3153
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3154
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3156
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3157
is in a different repository than the current one.
3158
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3160
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3161
(David Futcher, #242106)
3163
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3164
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3166
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3167
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3168
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3169
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3171
* Trivial documentation fix.
3172
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3174
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3175
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3176
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3177
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3182
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3187
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3188
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3189
to use. (Robert Collins)
3191
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3192
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3193
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3195
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3196
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3197
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3198
they want. (Robert Collins)
3203
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3204
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3205
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3207
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3208
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3211
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3214
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3215
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3217
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3223
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3224
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3226
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3227
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3228
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3230
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3231
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3232
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3234
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3235
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3237
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3238
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3240
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3241
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3243
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3244
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3245
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3246
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

3260
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3261
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3266
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3267
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3268
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3269
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
3276
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3277
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3278
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3279
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3280
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3281
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

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

#####################
3319
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3320
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3321
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3322
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3323
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3324

3330
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3333
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3334
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3335
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3337
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3338
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3339
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3344
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3345
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3347
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3352
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3353
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3356
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3357
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3359
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3360
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3363
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3364
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3365
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3366
(John Arbash Meinel)
3368
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3369
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3371
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3372
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3373
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3374
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3375
(John Arbash Meinel)
3377
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3378
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3379
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3380
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3381
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3382
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3383
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3384
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3385
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3386
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3391
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3392
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3394
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3395
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3396
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3398
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3399
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3400
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3402
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3403
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3404
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3405
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3406
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3407
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3409
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3410
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3412
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3413
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3415
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3416
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3417
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3418
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3419
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3420
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3422
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3423
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3425
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3426
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3428
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3429
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3430
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3431
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3433
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3434
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3436
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3437
assuming the host name is ascii.
3438
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3440
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3441
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3446
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3451
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3453
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3454
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3455
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3458
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3459
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3461
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3462
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3464
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3465
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3470
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3471
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3472
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3473
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3475
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3479
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3480
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3481
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3483
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3489
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3490
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3493
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3494
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3495
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3496
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3497
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3499
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3500
is unknown in both source and target.
3501
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3503
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3504
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3505
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3506
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3508
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3509
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3510
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3511
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
3517
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3518
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3519
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3522
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3523
#######################
3528
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3529
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3530
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3531
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3534
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3535
#######################
3537
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3538
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3539
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3540
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3541
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3542
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3543
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3544
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3545
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3546
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3547
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3548
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3553
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3554
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3555
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3556
start of the string (causing more copies).
3557
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3558
especially for projects with large files.
3559
(John Arbash Meinel)
3561
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3562
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3563
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3564
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3565
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3567
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3568
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3569
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3570
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3571
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3572
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3578
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3579
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3580
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3581
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3582
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3583
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3584
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3585
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3586
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3589
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3590
#####################
3595
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3596
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3597
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3598
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3599
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3602
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3603
#####################
3608
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3609
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3610
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3613
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3614
#####################
3619
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3620
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3626
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3627
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3628
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3634
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3635
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3636
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3638
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3639
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3640
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3641
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3642
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3643
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3644
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3647
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3648
#####################
3650
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3656
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3657
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3659
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3660
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3663
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3664
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3665
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3666
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3667
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3669
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3670
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3672
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3673
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3675
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3676
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3678
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3679
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3680
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3681
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3682
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3683
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3686
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3687
#####################
3689
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3690
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3691
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3692
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3693
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3698
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3699
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3700
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3705
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3706
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3708
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3709
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3711
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3712
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3713
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3715
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3718
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3719
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3720
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3721
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3722
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3723
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3724
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3726
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3727
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3728
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3733
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3734
physical repository boundaries.
3735
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3737
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3738
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3740
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3741
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3744
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3747
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3748
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3749
that Python is running from.
3750
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3752
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3753
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3754
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3756
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3757
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3759
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3760
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3761
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3763
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3764
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3766
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3767
(James Westby, #248448)
3772
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3773
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3774
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3777
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3778
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3781
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3782
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3783
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3784
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3785
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3786
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3789
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3790
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3792
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3793
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3794
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3795
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3796
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3797
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3802
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3803
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3804
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3805
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3806
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3807
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3809
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3810
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3811
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3813
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3816
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3817
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3819
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3826
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3827
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3828
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3829
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3835
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3836
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3837
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3839
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3840
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3841
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3842
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3843
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3846
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3848
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3849
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3850
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3856
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3857
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3860
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3861
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3862
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3863
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3865
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3866
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3867
(Christophe Troestler)
3869
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3870
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3872
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3873
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3874
faster. The new request method name is
3875
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3880
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3881
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3882
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3883
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3884
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3886
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3887
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3889
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3890
requires a branch to be present.
3891
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3893
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3895
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3897
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3898
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3899
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3900
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3902
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3903
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3905
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3907
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3909
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3910
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3911
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3912
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3913
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3915
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3916
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3918
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3919
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3921
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3923
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3925
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3926
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3928
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3929
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3934
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3937
* Updated developer documentation.
3943
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3944
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3946
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3947
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3948
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3949
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3954
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3955
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3956
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3957
Repository docstring for more details.
3960
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3961
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3962
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3964
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3965
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3968
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3969
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3970
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3971
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3976
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3977
(Alexander Belchenko)
3979
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3980
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3981
containing a given location.
3984
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3985
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3986
storage. (Robert Collins)
3988
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3991
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3992
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4013
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4015
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4016
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4019
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4020
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4021
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4023
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4024
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4025
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4027
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4028
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
4030
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4031
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4032
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4033
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4038
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4040
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4041
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4042
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4045
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4046
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4051
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4056
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4057
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4062
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4063
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4064
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4065
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4066
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4068
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4069
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4074
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4075
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4077
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4078
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

4081
#######################
4084
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4085
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4086
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4087
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4088
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4089
and future extensions.
4092
Notes When Upgrading
4093
********************
4095
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4096
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4097
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4098
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4099
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4100
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4101
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4102
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4107
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4108
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4109
(John Arbash Meinel)
4114
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4115
load. (James Westby)
4120
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4121
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4122
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4123
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4125
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4126
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4127
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4129
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4130
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4132
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4133
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4134
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4136
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4137
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4138
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4139
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4140
step closer to not using full revision history.
4141
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4146
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4147
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4149
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4150
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4152
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4153
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4155
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4156
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4157
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4158
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4160
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4161
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4162
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4163
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4165
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4166
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4167
in use by another process.
4170
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4171
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4172
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4173
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4175
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4176
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4178
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4179
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4182
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4183
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4186
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4190
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4191
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4193
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4194
under vim on Mac OS X.
4195
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4197
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4198
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4203
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4204
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4206
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4207
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4210
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4211
and about use of Python reprs.
4212
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4214
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4219
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4222
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4223
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4225
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4226
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4231
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4232
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4233
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4234
(John Arbash Meinel)
4239
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4240
instead. (Martin Pool)
4242
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4243
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4244
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4245
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4247
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4248
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4249
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4250
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4251
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4253
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4254
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4255
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4256
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4257
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4258
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4260
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4261
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4264
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4265
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4268
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4269
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4270
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4271
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4273
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4274
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4275
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4277
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4278
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4279
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4280
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4281
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4284
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4285
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4286
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4287
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4290
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4291
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4292
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4293
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4294
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4296
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4303
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4304
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4305
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4310
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4311
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4312
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4317
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4318
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

#####################
4328
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4329
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4330
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4331
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4336
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4337
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4339
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4340
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4342
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4348
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4351
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4352
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4354
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4355
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4356
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4358
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4359
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4360
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4362
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4365
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4368
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4369
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4371
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4372
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4374
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4375
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4377
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4378
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4379
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4381
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4382
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4384
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4385
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4387
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4388
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4389
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4392
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4393
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4396
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4397
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4398
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4400
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4401
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4402
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4403
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4404
every revision each side had in common.
4405
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4407
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4408
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4410
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4411
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4412
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4413
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4418
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4419
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4420
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4421
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4423
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4425
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4427
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4433
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4434
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4435
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4437
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4438
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4439
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4440
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4442
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4443
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4445
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4446
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4447
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4448
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4450
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4451
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4452
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4453
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4458
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4459
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4460
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4462
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4464
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4465
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4467
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4468
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4470
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4471
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4476
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4477
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4478
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4480
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4481
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4482
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4485
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4486
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4489
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
4496
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4497
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4498
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4499
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4500
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4501
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4502
and faster performance.
4507
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4508
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

4552
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid

python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4554
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4555
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake

``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4590
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4591
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4593
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4594
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4595
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4598
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4601
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4602
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4603
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4605
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4608
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4609
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4611
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4612
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4614
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4615
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4616
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4618
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4619
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4620
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4621
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4622
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4624
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4625
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4627
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4628
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4633
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4634
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4635
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4636
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4637
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4638
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4640
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4641
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4643
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4644
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4645
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4647
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4648
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4650
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4651
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4652
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4653
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4655
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4656
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4657
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4658
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4659
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4661
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4663
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4664
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4666
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4668
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4669
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4671
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4672
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4677
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4679
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4681
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4683
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4688
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4689
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4690
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4692
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4693
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4694
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4695
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4697
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4698
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4699
release. (James Westby)
4701
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4704
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4706
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4707
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4709
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4710
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4712
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4713
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4715
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4716
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4717
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4719
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4720
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4721
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4722
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4724
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4725
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4726
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4727
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4729
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4730
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4731
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4732
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4733
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4734
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4736
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4737
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4738
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4740
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4741
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4743
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4744
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4747
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4748
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4750
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4751
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4753
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4754
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4756
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4757
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4758
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4760
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4761
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4762
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4763
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4764
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4765
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4770
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4771
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4772
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4773
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4775
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4776
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4777
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4778
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4782
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4783
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4786
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4787
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4789
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4791
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4792
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4793
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4798
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4800
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4803
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4804
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4805
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4806
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4807
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4808
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4810
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4811
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4813
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4814
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4815
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4816
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4818
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4819
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4821
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4822
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4864
********************
4866
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4867
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4872
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4873
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4874
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4875
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4878
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4879
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4880
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4881
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4882
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4883
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4885
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4886
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4887
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4888
(Alexander Belchenko)
4890
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4892
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4893
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4898
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4899
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4901
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4902
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4908
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4910
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4912
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4913
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4914
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4916
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4917
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4919
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4920
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4922
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4923
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4924
(Alexander Belchenko)
4926
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4927
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4928
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4929
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4931
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4934
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4935
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4936
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4937
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4938
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4943
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4944
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4945
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4946
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4948
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4949
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4951
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4952
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4954
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4955
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4956
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4958
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4959
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4961
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4964
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4965
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4967
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4969
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4971
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4972
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4974
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4975
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4977
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4978
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4980
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4981
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4983
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4984
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4986
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4987
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4992
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4993
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4998
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4999
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5000
(Alexander Belchenko)
5005
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5007
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5008
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5014
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5015
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5016
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5018
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5019
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5020
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5021
(Alexander Belchenko)
5023
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5024
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5025
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5026
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5028
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5029
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5030
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5033
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5034
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5035
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5037
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5038
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5039
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5041
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5042
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5043
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5044
format. (Robert Collins)
5053
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5056

5059
Notes When Upgrading
5060
********************
5062
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5063
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5064
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5065
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5066
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5072
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5073
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5075
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5076
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5077
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5079
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5080
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5081
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5082
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5083
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5084
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5090
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5091
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5093
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5094
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5095
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5098
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5099
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5100
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5101
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5102
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5104
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5105
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5106
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5107
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5108
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5109
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5110
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5111
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5116
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5117
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5119
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5120
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5122
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5123
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5125
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5126
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5127
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5129
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5130
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5131
(John Arbash Meinel)
5136
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5137
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5139
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5140
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5142
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5143
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5145
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5146
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5147
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5149
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5150
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5151
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5153
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5154
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5156
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5157
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5158
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5159
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5160
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5162
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5164
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer

5171
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5172
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5174
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
5177
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5178
more characters which should be considered valid.

(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5181
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5182
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5184
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5185
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5190
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5191
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5193
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5194
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5200
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5201
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5207
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5208
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5209
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5211
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5212
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5213
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5215
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5216
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5217
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5218
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5220
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5222
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5223
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5224
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5225
server. (Robert Collins)
5227
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5228
operate. (Robert Collins)
5230
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5231
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5232
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5234
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5235
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5236
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5237
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5239
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5240
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5242
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5243
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5244
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5246
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5247
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5249
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5250
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5252
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5253
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5254
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5255
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5270
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5271
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5272
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5274
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5275
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5276
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5277
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5303
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5304
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5305
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5306
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5307
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5309
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5310
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5311
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5351
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

5354
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.

5396
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5399
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5400
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5401
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5402

* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5425
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5427
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5436
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5437
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5438
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5613
********************
5615
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5616
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5617
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5618
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5620
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5621
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5623
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5624
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5626
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5627
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5628
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5629
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5630
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5631
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5632
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5633
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5634
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5635
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5636
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5637
from any tree without problems.
5638
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5643
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5644
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5645
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5647
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5648
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5654
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5655
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5656
supported transports.
5659
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5660
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5661
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5663
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5664
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5666
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5667
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5668
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5669
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5671
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5672
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5677
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5678
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5679
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5680
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5682
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5683
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5684
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5685
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5687
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5688
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5690
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5691
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5693
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5694
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5696
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5697
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5703
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5706
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5707
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5710
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5711
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5712
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5713
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5715
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5716
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5717
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5718
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5726
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5727
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5729
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5730
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5732
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5733
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5750
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5753
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before

* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5761

5769
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between

* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to

* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5801
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5803
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5804
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5806
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5807
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5808
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5810
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5812
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5813
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5815
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5818
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5819
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5821
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5822
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5824
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5825
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5826
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5828
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5829
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5831
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5832
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5833
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5834
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5836
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5837
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5839
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5840
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5841
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5843
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5844
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5846
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5847
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5849
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5855
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5856
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5858
* The return value of
5859
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5860
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5861
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5862
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5864
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5867
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5868
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5875
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5876
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5877
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5880
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5881
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5883
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5892
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)

######################
5901
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5902
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5904
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5905
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5906
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5907
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5908
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5909
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5910
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5911
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5912
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5913
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5914
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5915
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5921
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5922
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5923
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5924
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5925
commands. (Robert Collins)
5927
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5928
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5929
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5932
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5934
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5935
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5937
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5938
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5941
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5942
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5943
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5948
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5949
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5951
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5952
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5954
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5955
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5956
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5957
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5959
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5962
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5963
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5964
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5965
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5967
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5968
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5970
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5971
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5973
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5974
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5976
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5977
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5982
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5983
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5985
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5986
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5988
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5989
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5991
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5992
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5994
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5995
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6000
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6002
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6008
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6009
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6010
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6012
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6013
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6015
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6016
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6018
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6019
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6020
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6021
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6023
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6024
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6025
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6026
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6027
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6029
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6030
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6032
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6034
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6036
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6037
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6039
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6042
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6043
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6045
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6046
contains a symbolic link.
6047
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6049
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6050
(James Westby, #140615)
6052
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6053
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6056
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6057
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6058
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6060
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6062
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6065
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6069
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6070
directory to detect leaking tests.
6071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6073
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6074
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6075
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6077
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6080
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6081
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6083
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6089
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6090
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6092
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6093
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6094
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6096
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6097
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6098
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6100
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6101
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6103
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6104
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6106
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6107
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6110
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6111
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6113
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6114
class that needs it.
6117
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6118
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6120
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6121
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6122
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6124
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6125
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6126
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6129
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6130
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6131
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6132
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6138
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6139
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6140
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6142
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6143
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6144
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6145
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6147
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6148
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6151
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6152
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6153
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6155
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6156
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6157
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6159
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6160
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6162
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6163
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6164
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6166
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6167
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6169
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6170
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6171
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6173
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6174
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6175
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6177
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6178
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6179
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6180
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6182
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6183
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6184
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6185
returned. (Robert Collins)
6187
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6188
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6190
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6191
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6192
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6193
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6196
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6197
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6202
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6203
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6205
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6206
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6207
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6208
makes this behavior available to other users.
6211
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6212
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6221
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6222
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6223
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6225
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6227
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6228
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6229
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6230
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6232
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6233
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6237
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
6238
######################
6240
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6241
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6244
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
6245
######################
6250
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6251
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6252
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6253
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6256
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6257
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6258
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6264
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6265
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6266
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6269
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6270
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6271
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6273
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6274
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6275
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6277
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6278
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6280
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6281
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6282
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6283
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6284
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6285
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6286
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6287
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6288
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6289
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6291
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6292
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6294
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6295
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6296
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6301
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6302
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6304
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6305
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6306
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6308
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6309
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6311
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6312
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6314
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6317
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6318
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6320
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6321
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6323
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6324
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6326
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6327
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6329
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6331
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6334
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6335
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6336
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6337
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6339
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6341
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6342
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6345
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6346
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6348
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6349
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6352
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6353
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6355
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6356
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6358
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6359
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6360
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6361
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6362
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6363
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6364
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6366
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6367
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6369
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6370
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6372
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6373
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)

(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6382
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6383
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6385
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6386
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6387
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6389
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6390
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

6396
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6397
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6399
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6402
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6405
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6406

6408
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6410
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.

(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6413
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6414
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6416
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6417
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6418
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6419
space). (Robert Collins)
6421
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6422
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6425
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6426
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6428
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6429
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6431
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6432
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6433
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6434
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6436
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6437
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6438
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6441
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6444
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6445
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6446
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6448
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6449
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6450
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6451
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6452
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6457
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6458
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6460
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6461
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6462
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6463
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6464
affected. (Robert Collins)
6466
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6467
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6468
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6471
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6472
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6477
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6478
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6480
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6481
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6483
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6484
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6486
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6489
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6490
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6495
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6496
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6497
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6498
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6500
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6501
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6503
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6504
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6505
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6506
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6508
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6509
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6510
present. (Robert Collins)
6512
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6513
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6514
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6515
API. (Robert Collins)
6517
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6518
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6521
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6522
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6524
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6525
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6526
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6527
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6528
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6529
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6531
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6532
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6533
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6535
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6536
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6537
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6538
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6541
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6544
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6545
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6546
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6547
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6548
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6549
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6550
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6552
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6553
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6554
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6555
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6557
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6558
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6559
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6560
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6561
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6562
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6564
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6565
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6566
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6568
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6569
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6578
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6579
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6580
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6581
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6582
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6583
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6584
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6585
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6591
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6592
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6593
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6596

######################
6602
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6603
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6604
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6605
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6608
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).

(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6611
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6615
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6616
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6619
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6620
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6623
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6626
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6627
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6629
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6630
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6632
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6633
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6635
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6636
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6638
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6639
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6641
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6647
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6648
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6650
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6651
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6653
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6654
the repository (Robert Collins)
6656
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6657
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6658
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6659
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6660
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6662
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6663
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6665
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6666
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6667
(John Arbash Meinel)
6669
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6670
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6671
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6673
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6674
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6675
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6676
(John Arbash Meinel)
6678
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6679
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6682
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6683
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6685
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6688
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6690
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6692
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6693
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6695
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6696
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6699
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6700
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6701
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6702
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6704
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6705
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6706
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6708
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6709
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6710
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6712
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6713
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6715
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6716
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6717
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6718
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6719
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6720
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6723
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6724
(Alexander Belchenko)
6726
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6727
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6729
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6730
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6732
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6734
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6735
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6740
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6741
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6742
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6743
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6745
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6747
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6750
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6751
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6752
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6753
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6754
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6755
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6760
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6761
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6762
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6763
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6765
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6766
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6767
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6768
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6769
tests have been refactored too.
6772
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6773
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6774
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6778
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6779
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6780
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6782
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6783
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6784
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6785
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6786
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6787
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6788
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6790
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6791
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6792
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6793
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6794
(John Arbash Meinel)
6796
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6797
functionality for testing.
6799
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6801
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6802
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6804
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6806
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6809
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6810
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6812
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6813
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6814
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6816
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6819
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6820
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6822
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6823
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6824
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6825
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6827
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6828
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6830
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6831
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6832
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6834
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6837
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6838
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6839
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6840
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6841
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6842
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6844
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6845
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6846
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6847
many files. (Robert Collins)
6849
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6850
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6851
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6852
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6857
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6858
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6859
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6861
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6862
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6864
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6865
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6866
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
6940
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
6941
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
6943
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
6946
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
6947
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
6949
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6950
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
6952
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
6953
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
6955
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6956
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6957
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6958
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6959
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6961
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6962
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
6964
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6965
can be slow it is useful feedback).
6966
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
6968
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
6969
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
6971
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
6973
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
6974
output. (Aaron Bentley)
6976
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
6977
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
6980
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
6983
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
6984
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
6986
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
6987
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
6989
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
6990
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
6992
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
6994
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
6995
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
6997
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7003
* Testing cleanups -
7004
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7005
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7006
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7007
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7008
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7009
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7010
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7011
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7012
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7013
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7014
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7015
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
7016
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7017
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
7018
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7019
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7020
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7023
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7025
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7026
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7027
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7029
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7030
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7032
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7033
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7035
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7037
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7038
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7039
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7040
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7041
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7042
same location. (Robert Collins)
7047
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7049
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7051
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7053
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7056
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7059
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7060
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7061
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7063
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7065
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7066
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7067
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7069
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7070
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7072
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7073
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7074
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7076
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7077
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7078
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7080
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7081
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7082
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7084
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7085
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7088
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7089
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7091
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7092
(Alexander Belchenko)
7097
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7098
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7099
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7100
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7102
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7103
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7104
testing. (Robert Collins)
7106
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7107
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7109
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7110
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7111
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7112
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7113
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7114
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7115
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7117
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7118
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7119
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7120
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7122
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7123
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7125
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7126
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7147
********************
7149
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7150
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7151
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7152
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7153
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7154
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7155
and unlock() like so::
7157
work_tree.lock_read()
7159
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7165
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7166
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7168
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7169
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7170
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7172
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7173
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7174
too. (Robert Collins)
7179
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7180
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7183
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7184
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7186
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7187
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7189
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7190
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7191
understanding what changes have occurred
7192
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7194
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7195
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7196
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7198
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7199
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7200
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7201
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7203
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7209
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7210
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7211
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7212
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7213
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7215
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7216
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7217
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7219
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7222
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7226
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7227
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7229
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7230
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7232
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7233
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7235
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7236
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7238
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7239
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7241
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7242
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7243
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7246
####################
7251
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7252
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7253
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7254
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7255
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7257
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7258
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7259
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7261
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7262
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7267
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7268
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7269
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7271
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7272
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7273
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7274
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7276
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
7277
#######################
7282
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7283
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7284
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7285
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7287
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7288
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7289
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7291
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7292
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7294
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7295
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7297
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7298
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

7303
Notes When Upgrading
7304
********************
7306
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7307
it could be recovered again.
7308
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7309
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7310
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7312
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7314
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7315
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7320
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7321
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7323
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7324
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7325
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7326
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7328
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7329
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7331
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7332
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7333
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7335
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7336
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7337
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7339
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7340
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7341
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7343
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7344
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7347
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7350
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7351
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7352
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7353
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7355
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7358
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7359
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7360
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7363
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7364
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7366
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7367
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7369
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7370
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7371
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7372
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7375
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7376
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7378
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7379
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7381
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7382
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7383
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7385
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7386
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7387
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7389
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7390
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7391
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7393
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7394
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7395
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7396
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7398
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7399
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7400
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7401
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7403
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7404
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7405
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7406
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7407
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7408
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7409
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7410
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7417
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7418
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7420
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7421
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7422
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7423
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7424
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7426
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7427
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7429
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7430
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7432
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7433
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7435
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7436
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7438
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7439
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7440
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7443
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7444
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7445
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7446
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7447
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7450
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7451
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7452
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7454
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7455
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7458
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7459
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7460
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7463
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7464
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7465
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7466
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7467
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7469
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7470
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7471
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7472
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7474
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7475
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7477
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7478
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7479
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7480
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7481
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7482
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7484
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7485
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7487
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7488
help. (Robert Collins)
7490
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7491
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7493
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7494
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7495
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7496
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7497
(John Arbash Meinel)
7499
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7500
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7501
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7502
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7503
useful. (Robert Collins)
7505
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7511
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7512
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7514
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7515
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7517
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7518
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7519
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7521
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7524
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7525
the file, and does it faster.
7526
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7528
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7529
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7530
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7532
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7533
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7534
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7535
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7537
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7538
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7539
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7540
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7542
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7543
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7545
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7546
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7547
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7548
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7551
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7553
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7554
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7556
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7557
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7559
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7560
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7561
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7562
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7566
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7572
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7573
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7574
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7576
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7577
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7579
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7580
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7581
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7582
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7583
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7584
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7585
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7586
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7588
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7589
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7590
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7592
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7593
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7594
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7595
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7596
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7598
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7600
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7601
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7602
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7604
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7605
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7614
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7617
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7618
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7621
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7622
#######################
7627
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7628
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7634
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7635
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7636
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7637
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7638
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7639
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7640
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7641
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7647
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7648
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7649
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7651
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7652
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7655
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7656
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7657
(John Arbash Meinel)
7659
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7660
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7661
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7662
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7663
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7668
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7671
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7672
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7674
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7675
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7677
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7678
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7679
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7681
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7682
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7684
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7685
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7686
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7687
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7688
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7690
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7691
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7692
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7694
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

#######################
7700
Notes When Upgrading
7701
********************
7703
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7704
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7705
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7710
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7711
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7713
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7714
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7716
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7718
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7719
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7721
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7722
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7727
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7733
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7734
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7735
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7736
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7738
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7739
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7741
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7742
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7744
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7747
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7748
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7751
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7752
#######################
7757
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7758
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7759
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7760
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7761
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7762
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7764
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7765
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7766
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7767
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7768
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7769
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7771
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7773
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7774
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7775
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7776
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7777
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7778
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7779
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7780
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7785
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7786
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7788
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7789
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7790
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7791
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7793
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7794
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7795
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7796
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7797
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7799
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7802
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7805
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7808
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7809
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7812
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7815
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7816
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7818
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7819
directory. (Martin Pool)
7821
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7822
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7823
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7824
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7826
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7827
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7828
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7829
in docs/configuration.txt.
7831
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7832
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7835
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7836
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7837
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7838
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7839
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7840
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7842
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7843
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7845
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7846
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7848
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7854
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7855
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7856
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7857
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7858
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7859
(John Arbash Meinel)
7861
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7862
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7865
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7866
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7867
(John Arbash Meinel)
7869
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7870
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7871
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7872
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7873
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7874
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7876
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7877
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7878
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7880
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7881
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7882
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7883
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7885
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7887
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7888
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7889
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7890
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7892
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7893
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7894
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7895
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7897
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7898
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7899
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7901
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7902
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7903
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7905
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7906
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7907
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7908
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7910
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7911
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7912
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7914
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7915
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7916
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7918
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7919
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7920
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7921
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7922
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7923
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7924
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7925
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7926
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7927
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7928
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7933
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7934
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7935
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7937
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7940
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7941
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7942
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7943
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7945
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7946
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7949
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7950
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7952
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7954
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7955
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7956
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7958
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7959
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7961
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7964
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
7967
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
7968
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
7970
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
7972
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
7973
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
7978
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
7979
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
7983
####################
7988
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
7993
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
7994
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
7995
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
7997
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
7998
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
7999
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8002
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
8003
#######################
8008
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8009
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8010
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8011
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8013
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8016
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8017
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8018
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8020
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8021
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8023
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8026
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8027
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8028
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8029
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8030
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8031
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8033
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8034
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8035
should enable you to do::
8037
[/home/user/project]
8038
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8039
push_location:policy = appendpath
8041
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8042
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8045
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8046
for each file. For example::
8048
$ bzr status --short
8054
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8055
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8057
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8059
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8060
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8062
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8067
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8068
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8069
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8070
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8072
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8073
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8074
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8076
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8078
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8079
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8080
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8081
(Alexander Belchenko)
8083
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8086
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8087
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8089
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8094
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8095
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8097
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8098
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8099
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8100
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8101
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8103
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8104
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8106
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8107
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8109
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8111
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8113
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8114
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8115
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8116
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8117
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8119
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8120
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8121
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8122
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8124
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8125
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8127
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8128
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8130
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8131
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
8133
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

8149
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8151
(Daniel Silverstone)
8153
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8154
operations are substantially faster.
8155
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8157
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8158
tree from some other url. For example:
8159
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8160
(Daniel Silverstone)
8162
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8163
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8164
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8165
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8167
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8170
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8171
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8172
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8173
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8174
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8175
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8180
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8181
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8184
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8185
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8186
(John Arbash Meinel)
8188
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8189
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8190
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8191
(John Arbash Meinel)
8193
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8194
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8196
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8197
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8199
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8200
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8206
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8207
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8208
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8210
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8211
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8212
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8213
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8215
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8217
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8218
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8220
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8221
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8222
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8225
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8226
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8227
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8229
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8230
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8231
them as full references rather than integers.
8232
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8234
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8235
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8237
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8239
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8240
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8242
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8243
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8245
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8246
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8247
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8248
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8250
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8251
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8252
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8254
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8255
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8257
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8258
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8259
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8260
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
8261
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
8266
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
8267
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
8285
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8286
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8287
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8288
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8290
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8291
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8293
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8295
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8296
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8297
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8298
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8300
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8301
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8302
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8303
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8304
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8309
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8310
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8315
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8316
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8317
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8319
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8320
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8321
(John Arbash Meinel)
8323
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8324
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8325
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8327
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8328
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8331
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8332
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8333
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8335
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8336
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8337
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8338
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8339
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8340
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8342
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8343
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8344
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8347
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8348
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8353
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8354
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
8355
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8358
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8359
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8361
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8362
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8363
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8365
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8366
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8368
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8369
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8370
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8371
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8373
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8374
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8376
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8377
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8378
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
8380
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8381
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8383
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8385
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8386
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
8392
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
8393
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8394
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8395
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8397
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8398
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8399
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

8423
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8424
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8425
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8426
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8427
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8428
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8429
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8431
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8432
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8433
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8435
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8437
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8438
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8440
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8441
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8442
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8445
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8446
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8447
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8448
(John Arbash Meinel)
8450
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8451
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8452
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8453
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8456
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8457
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8458
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8459
(John Arbash Meinel)
8464
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8465
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8467
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8469
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8470
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8471
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8473
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8474
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8476
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8477
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8479
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8480

8482
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8483
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8485
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8487
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8488
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8490
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8491
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8493
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8494
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8496
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8497
(John Arbash Meinel)
8499
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8500
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8501
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8503
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8504
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8506
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8507
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8508
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8509
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8511
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8512
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8513
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8515
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8516
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8521
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8526
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8527
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8528
(John Arbash Meinel)
8530
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8531
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8532
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8533
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8535
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8538
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8539
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8540
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8542
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8543
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8545
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8546
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8547
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8549
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8550
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8551
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8552
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8553
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8554
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8555
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8556
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8557
caller to repeat their request.
8558
(John Arbash Meinel)
8560
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8561
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8563
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8564
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8566
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8567
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8568
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8569
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8570
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8571
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8572
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8574
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8575
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8576
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8577
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8578
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8579
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8580
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8581
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8584
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8585
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8586
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8588
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8589
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8591
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8592
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8594
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8595
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8600
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8601
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8603
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8604
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8605
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8607
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8608
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8609
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8612
####################
8616
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8617
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8619
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8620
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8621
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8622
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8623
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8625
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8626
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8627
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8629
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8630
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8632
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8633
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8634
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8639
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8641
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8642
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8643
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8645
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8647
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8649
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8650
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8651
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8652
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8654
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8655
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8656
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8657
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8658
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8660
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8661
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8663
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8664
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8666
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8667
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8669
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8670
in handling of revision properties.
8671
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8673
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8674
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8679
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8680
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8681
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8682
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8683
(John Arbash Meinel)
8685
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8686
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8687
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8689

#####################
8695
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8696
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8697
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8698
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8699
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8700
a more conservative list than the old default.
8701
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8702
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8703
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8704
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8706
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8707
to more locations than just branch locations.
8713
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8714
revno:N:branch. For example,
8715
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8716
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8718
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8719
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8720
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8721
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8722
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8723
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8724
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8725
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8728
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8729
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8730
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8733
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8734
(Alexander Belchenko)
8736
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8738
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8741
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8742
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8743
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8744
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8745
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8746
(John Arbash Meinel)
8748
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8749
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8750
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8751
grained analysis of performance.
8752
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8754
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8755
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8757
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8758
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8759
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8760
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8761
file. (Robert Collins).
8763
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8764
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8765
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8767
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8768
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8771
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8772
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8774
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8775
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8776
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8777
the same way you would apply another branch.
8778
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8780
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8781
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8783
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8786
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8789
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8790
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8791
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8793
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8794
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8795
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8797
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8798
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8800
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8801
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8802
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8803
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8804
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8806
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8807
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8809
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8810
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8811
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8812
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8813
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8814
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8815
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8816
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8818
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8819
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8820
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8825
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8827
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8829
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8830
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8832
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8833
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8835
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8836
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8838
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8840
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8841
(John Arbash Meinel)
8843
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8844
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8846
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8847
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8850
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8851
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8853
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8854
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8856
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8857
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8858
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8859
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8861
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8862
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8864
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8866
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8867
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8869
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8871
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8873
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8874
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8876
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8877
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8879
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8880
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8881
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8883
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8884
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8885
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8887
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8888
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8890
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8891
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8893
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8894
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8896
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8897
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8899
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8900
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8902
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8903
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8904
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8906
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8908
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8909
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8914
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8915
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8916
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8918
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8919
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8921
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8922
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8923
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8925
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8926
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8928
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8929
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8932
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8933
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8934
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8936
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8937
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8938
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8940
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8941
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8942
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8944
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8945
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8946
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8948
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8949
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8950
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8952
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8953
instead. (Robert Collins)
8955
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

9022
Notes When Upgrading
9023
********************
9025
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9026
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9027
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9028
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9029
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9030
will keep the same format.
9032
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9033
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9034
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9035
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9036
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9038
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9039
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9040
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9041
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9042
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9043
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9044
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9046
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9047
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9048
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9049
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9050
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9052
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9053
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9054
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9061
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9062
convention. Paths now take the form::
9064
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9066
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9068
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9069
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9071
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9072
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9073
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9075
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9076
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9077
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9078
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9080
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9081
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9082
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9084
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9086
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9088
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9089
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9092
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9093
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9096
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9098
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9099
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9100
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9103
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9105
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9107
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9110
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9111
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9113
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9114
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9117
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9118
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9121
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9123
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9125
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9126
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9128
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9129
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9130
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9131
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9132
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9133
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9135
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9137
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9138
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9141
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9142
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9144
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9145
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9147
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9149
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9150
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9151
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9152
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9153
specification by Martin Pool.
9154
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9156
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9159
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9160
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9162
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9163
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9164
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9166
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9168
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9169
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9175
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9176
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9178
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9180
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9182
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9185
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9186
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9187
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9188
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9193
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9194
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9195
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9196
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9198
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9199
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9200
tried. (Martin Pool)
9202
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9205
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9207
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9208
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9209
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9211
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9212
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9214
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9215
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9216
paths. (Robert Collins)
9218
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9219
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9220
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9222
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9223
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9224
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9226
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9227
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9228
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9230
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9233
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9236
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9238
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9240
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9241
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9242
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9245
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9246
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9248
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9249
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9250
check. (Robert Collins)
9252
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9253
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9258
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9259
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9261
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9262
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9263
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9264
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9266
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9267
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9268
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9269
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9270
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9272
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9273
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9274
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9276
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9278
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9279
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
9287
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9288
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9290
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9291
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9292
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9295
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9296
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9298
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9299
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9300
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9301
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9302
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9304
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9305
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9306
used. (Robert Collins)
9308
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9309
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9312
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9313
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9314
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9316
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9319
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9320
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9325
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9326
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9328
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9330
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9332
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9333
tree. (Robert Collins)
9335
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9336
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9337
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9340
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9343
* Tweaks to short log printing
9345
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9348
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9349
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9351
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9352
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9354
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9355
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9357
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9358
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9359
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9361
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9362
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9364
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9365
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9368
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9369
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9371
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9372
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9374
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9375
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9377
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9380
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9381
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9383
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9384
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9386
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9387
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9388
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9393
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9395
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9397
* Error when run with -OO
9399
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9402
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9404
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9406
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9407
ignored by diff and status
9409
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9410
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9412
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9414
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9416
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9417
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9419
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9420
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9422
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9425
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9426
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9428
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9430
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9431
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9433
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9436
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9437
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9439
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9444
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9445
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9447
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9449
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9451
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9453
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9454
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9455
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9457
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9459
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9460
(John Arbash Meinel)
9462
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9464
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9465
If adding a new test script please add that to
9466
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9468
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9469
imported. (Martin Pool)
9471
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9472
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9473
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9474
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9475
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9478
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9479
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9480
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9482
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9483
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9484
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9486
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9487
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9488
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9489
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9490
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9493
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9494
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9500
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9501
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9503
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9504
function. (Robert Collins)
9506
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9507
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9508
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9510
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9511
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9514
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9515
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9516
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9517
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9518
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9519
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9520
version. (Robert Collins)
9522
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9523
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9525
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9526
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9527
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9528
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9529
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9530
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9532
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9535
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9545
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9547
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9549
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9552
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9553
query method. (Robert Collins)
9555
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9558
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9561
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9564
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9565
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9566
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9567
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9569
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9570
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9571
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9572
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9574
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9575
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9583
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9586
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9590
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9591
a separator, not ':'.
9594
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9595
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9596
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9598
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9599
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9602
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9603
has been added that suppresses all output.
9605
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9608
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9609
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9611
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9612
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9614
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9615
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9617
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9618
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9619
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9620
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9622
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9624
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9625
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9627
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9628
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9630
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9631
output directory, if one was supplied.
9633
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9634
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9635
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9636
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9638
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9640
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9641
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9643
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9644
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9645
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9647
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9648
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9650
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9653
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9655
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9660
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9661
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9662
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9664
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9665
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9666
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9668
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9669
is given. (Martin Pool)
9671
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9672
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9673
file. (Robert Collins)
9675
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9681
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9682
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9683
representation. (Martin Pool).
9685
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9686
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9687
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9689
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9692
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9693
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9696
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9697
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9698
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9699
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9700
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9702
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9703
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9704
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9705
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9706
python path. (Robert Collins)
9708
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9709
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9710
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9711
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9713
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9714
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9716
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9717
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9720
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9721
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9722
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9724
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9725
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9726
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9728
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9729
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9731
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9732
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9733
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9736
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9737
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9738
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9739
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9742
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9745
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9746
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9749
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9750
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9751
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9753
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9754
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9755
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9757
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9758
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9759
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9761
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9762
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9764
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9765
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9766
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9767
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9768
caller. (Robert Collins)
9770
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9771
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9774
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9775
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9778
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9780
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9781
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9786
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9787
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9789
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9790
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
9799
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9800
allow directories to be listed.
9802
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9803
upgrading branch format.
9808
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9817
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9818
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9819
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9820
high-latency connections.
9825
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9828
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9829
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9831
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9832
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9833
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9834
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9836
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9837
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9839
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9840
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9842
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9843
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9844
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9846
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9847
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9848
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9851
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9852
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9854
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9855
different partial views of history.
9857
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9858
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9863
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9864
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9865
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9867
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9868
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9871
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9872
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9874
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9877
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9878
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9880
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9881
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9882
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9883
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9885
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9887
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9888
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9891
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9892
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9894
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9895
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9896
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9902
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9903
for your viewing pleasure.
9905
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9906
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9908
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9909
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9910
handling of such circumstances.
9912
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9913
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9914
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9916
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9918
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9919
we call them revisions not patches.
9921
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9922
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9924
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9925
giving the revision *of that file*.
9927
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9928
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9929
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9934
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9935
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9937
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9938
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

9957
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9962
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9963
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9965
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9966
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.

####################
9989
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9990
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9991
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9992
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9995
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9998
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9999
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10000
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10001
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10002
for the operating system is still tried.
10004
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10005
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10006
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10012
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10017

####################
10040
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10041
help with intelligent shell completion.
10043
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10049
* Much better merge support.
10051
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10052
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10059
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10060
mention revisions that are not present.

* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10064
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10066
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10067
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10073
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10075
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10076

10095
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on

``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10098
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10100
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10101
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10103
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10106
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10108
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10111
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10112
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10114
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10115
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10116
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10122
* Faster working tree operations.
10128
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10129
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10130
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10131
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10133
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10134
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10135
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10136
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10137
standard plugins directory.
10139
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10140
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10141
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10142
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10144
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10145
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10147
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10150
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10151
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10152
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
10154
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10155
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10157
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10158
line options must come before the command name because they
10159
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10160
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10163
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10165
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

#####################
10181
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10182
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10184
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10185
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10186
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10187
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10189
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10190
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10191
with the ``--forward`` option.
10193
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10194
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10201
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10202
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.

* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10206
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10207
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10209
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10211
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10212
either read or write mode.
10214
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10216
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10217
affected that file.
10219
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10221
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10222
suggested by LarstiQ.
10224
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10225
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10227
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10230
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10231
in a directory on $BZRPATH.

* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10234
haven't changed since the previous time.
10236
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10237
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.

* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
10241

* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
10244
range; contributed by John A Meinel.

10247
options through to an external GNU diff.

* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
10259
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
10260
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
10262
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
10269
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
10270
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
10274
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
10276
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
10277
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
10279
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
10280
under a different version.
10282
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
10288
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10291
Scott James Remnant.
10293
* Better help messages for many commands.
10295
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
10296
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
10298
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
10299
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
10301
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
10303
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
10305
* New AtomicFile class.
