:Codename: While the cat is away
15
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
16
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
17
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
18
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
19
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
20
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release.
22
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
23
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
24
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, improved
25
error handling during unlocking and 'on-the-fly' compression when fetching
26
new content from a repository.
32
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
35
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
36
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
37
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
38
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
39
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
40
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
42
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
43
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
44
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
46
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
47
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
50
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
51
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
52
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
54
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
55
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
58
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
59
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
60
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
65
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
66
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
67
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
68
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
69
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
70
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
71
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
73
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
74
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
75
(Robert Collins, #3918)
77
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
78
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
79
(Robert Collins, #416732)
81
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
82
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
83
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
84
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
86
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
87
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
89
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
90
merges are present in the working tree.
91
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
93
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
94
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
95
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
97
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
98
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
100
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
101
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
102
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
103
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
104
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
105
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
106
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
108
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
109
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
111
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
114
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
115
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
116
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
117
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
118
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
119
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
121
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
122
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
123
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
125
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
126
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
129
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
130
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
132
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
133
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
134
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
135
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
136
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
137
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
138
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
140
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
141
repository, such as revisions without inventories or inventories without
142
chk_bytes root records.
143
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506)
145
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
146
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
148
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
151
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
152
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
153
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
155
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
156
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
161
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
162
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
163
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
164
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
165
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
166
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
167
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
168
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
170
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
171
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
172
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
173
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
174
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
179
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
181
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
182
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
187
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
188
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
190
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
191
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
193
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
194
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
195
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
197
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
200
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
201
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
202
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
203
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
204
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
208
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
214
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
215
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
218
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
219
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
220
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
223
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
224
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
230
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
231
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
233
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
234
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
236
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
237
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
240
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
244
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
245
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
247
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
248
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
249
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
251
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
252
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
253
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
254
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
255
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
257
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
258
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
260
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
261
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
267
:Codename: Stability First
270
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
271
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
272
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
278
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
279
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
280
(Robert Collins, #3918)
282
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
283
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
284
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
286
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
287
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
288
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
290
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
291
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
293
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
294
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
295
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
296
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
297
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
299
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
300
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
302
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
303
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
304
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
305
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
307
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
308
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
309
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
311
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
312
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
313
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
314
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
315
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
316
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
317
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
319
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
320
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
322
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
323
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
324
to download the entire cix file many times.
325
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
327
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
328
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
333
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
335
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
343
:Codename: Instant Karma
345
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
346
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
347
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
348
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
349
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
352
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
353
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
355
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
356
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
357
months or until the following stable release.
359
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
360
******************************
362
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
363
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
364
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
365
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
371
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
376
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
377
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
378
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
383
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
384
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
385
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
386
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
387
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
388
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
389
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
391
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
392
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
393
(Robert Collins, #416732)
395
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
396
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
398
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
399
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
400
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
402
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
403
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
405
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
406
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
407
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
408
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
409
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
410
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
411
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
413
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
414
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
415
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
416
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
417
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
418
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
420
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
421
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
422
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
424
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
425
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
426
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
428
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
429
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
430
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
432
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
433
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
435
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
436
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
437
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
438
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
443
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
445
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
447
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
448
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
450
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
451
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
452
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
454
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
455
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
456
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
458
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
459
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
465
:Codename: no worries
466
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
471
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
472
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
473
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
474
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
475
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
477
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
478
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
479
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
480
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
485
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
486
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
491
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
492
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
494
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
495
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
496
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
497
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
498
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
500
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
501
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
504
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
507
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
508
(Martin Pool, #286871)
510
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
511
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
512
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
514
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
515
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
516
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
517
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
522
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
523
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
524
(Martin Pool, #409137)
526
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
527
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
528
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
529
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
531
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
533
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
534
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
536
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
537
(Robert Collins, #305006)
539
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
540
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
541
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
543
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
544
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
545
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
546
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
547
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
548
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
553
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
559
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
560
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
561
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
569
:Codename: nein nein nein!
572
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
573
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
574
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
575
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
576
pushing to older servers.
581
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
582
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
583
(Martin Pool, #415508)
585
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
586
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
587
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
592
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
593
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
595
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
596
(Robert Collins, #305006)
601
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
602
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
603
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
605
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
606
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
607
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
609
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
610
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
611
should be used. (Robert Collins)
619
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
620
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
621
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
622
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
623
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
631
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
632
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
633
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
634
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
635
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
637
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
640
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
641
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
643
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
644
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
646
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
647
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
648
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
649
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
651
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
652
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
653
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
655
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
656
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
658
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
659
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
660
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
661
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
666
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
667
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
668
(Martin Pool, #409137)
670
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
671
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
672
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
673
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
674
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
676
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
677
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
678
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
690
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
691
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
692
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
693
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
694
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
695
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
697
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
698
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
699
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
700
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
702
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
703
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
704
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
705
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
708
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
709
protocols. (Robert Collins)
711
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
712
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
713
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
714
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
720
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
721
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
731
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
732
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
733
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
734
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
735
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
736
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
738
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
739
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
740
or until the following stable release.
742
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
747
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
748
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
750
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
751
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
752
(Martin Pool, #391411)
757
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
758
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
759
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
761
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
762
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
763
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
764
(Martin Pool, #123688)
766
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
767
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
768
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
769
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
771
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
772
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
774
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
775
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
776
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
777
(Robert Collins, #282402)
779
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
780
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
782
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
783
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
785
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
786
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
787
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
788
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
789
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
791
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
792
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
793
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
795
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
796
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
797
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
798
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
799
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
801
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
802
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
804
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
805
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
806
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
808
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
809
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
810
(Martin Pool, #408201)
812
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
813
(Martin Pool, #403523)
815
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
816
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
817
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
819
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
820
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
822
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
823
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
825
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
826
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
828
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
829
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
830
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
832
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
833
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
834
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
836
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
838
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
839
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
841
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
842
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
843
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
844
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
845
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
846
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
848
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
849
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
850
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
852
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
853
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
854
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
855
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
857
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
858
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
859
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
860
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
861
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
863
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
864
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
865
(Robert Collins, #187207)
870
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
873
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
874
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
875
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
876
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
878
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
879
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
885
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
890
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
891
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
892
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
893
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
894
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
895
passwords. (Martin Pool)
897
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
900
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
903
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
907
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
908
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
913
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
914
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
915
paths. (Robert Collins)
917
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
918
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
920
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
921
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
922
disk. (Robert Collins)
924
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
927
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
928
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
929
(Alexander Belchenko)
935
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
936
(Martin Pool, #409684)
938
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
939
(Martin Pool, #408199)
941
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
942
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
943
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
944
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
945
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
946
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
949
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
950
#######################
955
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
956
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
957
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
962
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
967
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
968
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
971
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
972
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
973
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
974
annoying progress bar artifacts.
977
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
978
*********************************
980
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
981
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
982
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
984
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
985
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
986
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
988
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
989
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
995
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
996
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
997
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
998
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
1004
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1005
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
1006
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
1007
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
1009
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
1010
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
1011
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1013
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1014
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
1015
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
1017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
1019
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
1020
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
1021
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
1022
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1028
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
1029
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
1031
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
1032
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
1033
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
1034
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
1036
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
1037
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
1039
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1040
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1041
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1043
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
1044
(Martin Pool, #321935)
1046
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
1047
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
1049
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
1050
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
1052
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
1053
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
1054
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
1056
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
1059
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
1060
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
1062
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
1063
of a remote repository.
1064
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
1066
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
1067
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
1070
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
1072
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
1074
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
1075
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
1077
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
1078
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1080
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1081
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1082
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1084
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1085
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1086
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1087
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1088
(John Arbash Meinel)
1090
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1091
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1092
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1094
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1095
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1096
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1097
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1098
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1099
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1101
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1102
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1103
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1104
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1105
activity display respectively.
1106
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1108
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1109
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1111
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1114
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
1115
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
1121
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
1122
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
1123
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
1124
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
1126
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
1127
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
1128
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
1129
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
1132
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
1133
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
1135
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
1136
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
1137
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
1138
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
1139
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
1140
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1142
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
1143
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
1144
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
1145
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
1147
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
1148
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
1149
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
1150
(John Arbash Meinel)
1153
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
1154
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
1155
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
1156
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
1162
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
1163
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
1164
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
1165
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1167
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
1168
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
1169
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
1171
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
1174
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
1175
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
1177
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
1178
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
1179
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1181
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
1182
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
1183
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
1184
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1186
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
1192
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
1193
formatting in the user reference.
1194
(Martin Pool, #249908)
1196
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
1202
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
1205
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
1206
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
1207
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
1213
:Released: 2009-06-26
1215
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1216
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1217
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1220
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1221
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1222
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1224
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1225
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1230
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1231
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1233
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1234
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1235
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1237
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1238
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1239
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1240
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1241
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1242
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1243
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1245
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1246
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1247
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1249
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1250
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1251
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1253
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1254
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1255
that. (Robert Collins)
1257
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1258
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1259
repository. (Robert Collins)
1261
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1262
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1263
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1264
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
1274
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
1275
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1276
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1277
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
1279
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
1280
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
1281
bug fixes and improvements.
1284
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1285
*********************************
1287
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1288
2a can work correctly.
1289
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1291
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1292
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1293
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1296
Compatibility Breaks
1297
********************
1299
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1300
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1307
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1308
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1309
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1310
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1311
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1312
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1315
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1316
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1317
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1318
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1320
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1321
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1323
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1324
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1326
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1327
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1328
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1330
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1331
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1337
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1338
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1339
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1341
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1342
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1343
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1344
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1345
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1347
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1348
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1349
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1350
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1352
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1353
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1359
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1360
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1361
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1362
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1368
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1369
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1371
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1372
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1374
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1375
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1376
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1378
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1379
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1381
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1382
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1383
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1385
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1386
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1387
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1388
(John Arbash Meinel)
1390
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1391
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1393
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1394
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1396
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1397
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1399
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1400
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1401
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1402
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1403
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1404
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1406
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1408
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1409
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1411
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1412
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1414
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1415
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1416
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1417
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1418
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1420
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1421
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1422
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1423
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1428
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1429
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1430
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1435
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1437
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1438
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1439
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1441
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1442
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1443
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1445
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1446
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1448
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1449
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1454
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1455
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1460
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
1461
(Martin Pool, #386180)
1463
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1465
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1467
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
1472
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
1476
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1477
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1478
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1479
revisions introduce the exact same line.
1481
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
1482
*****************************
1484
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
1485
(Alexander Belchenko)
1487
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1488
*********************************
1490
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1491
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1492
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1493
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1495
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
1496
*********************************
1500
Compatibility Breaks
1501
********************
1503
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1504
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1505
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1506
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1511
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1512
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1515
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1516
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1517
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1518
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1520
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1521
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1522
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1523
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1525
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1526
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1529
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1530
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1531
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1536
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1537
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1539
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1540
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1542
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1543
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1544
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1546
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1551
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1552
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1554
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1556
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1557
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1559
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1560
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1562
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1563
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1565
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1566
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1567
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1568
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1570
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1573
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1574
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1576
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1577
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1579
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1580
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1582
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1583
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1585
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1588
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1589
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1591
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1592
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1593
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1594
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1595
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1596
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1597
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1598
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1599
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1600
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1601
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1602
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1603
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1604
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1606
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1607
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1608
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1610
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1611
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1619
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1620
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1621
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1623
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1624
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1625
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1626
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1627
(Alexander Belchenko)
1632
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1633
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1634
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1636
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1637
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1640
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1641
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1642
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1643
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1644
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1646
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1647
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1648
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1650
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1651
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1652
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1653
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1655
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1656
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1657
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1659
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1660
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1662
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1663
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1664
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1665
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1667
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1668
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1669
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1671
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1672
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1674
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1675
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1676
branches. (Robert Collins)
1678
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1679
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1681
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1686
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1687
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1738
********************
1740
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1741
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1742
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1743
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1744
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1746
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1747
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1748
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1750
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1751
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1752
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1753
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1754
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1759
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1760
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1761
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1762
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1763
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1766
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1769
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1770
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1772
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1773
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1774
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1775
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1776
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1778
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1779
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1781
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1784
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1785
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1786
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1787
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1790
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1791
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1792
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1793
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1794
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1796
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1797
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1800
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1806
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1807
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1808
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1810
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1811
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1812
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1813
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1814
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1816
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1817
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1820
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1821
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1822
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1824
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1827
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1830
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1831
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1833
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1834
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1836
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1837
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1839
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1840
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1843
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1844
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1845
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1847
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1848
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1849
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1852
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1853
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1854
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1855
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1857
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1858
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1859
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1860
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1861
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1862
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1863
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1864
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1865
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1867
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1873
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1874
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1875
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1876
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1877
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1878
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1879
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1881
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1882
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1884
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1885
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1886
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1887
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1889
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1890
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1892
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1894
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1897
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1898
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1899
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1901
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1902
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1904
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1905
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1907
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1908
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1909
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1911
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1912
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1913
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1914
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1916
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1918
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1919
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1921
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1922
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1923
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1924
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1925
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1927
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1928
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1929
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1930
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1931
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1932
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1933
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1935
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1936
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1938
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1939
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1942
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1943
(James Westby, #341558)
1945
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1946
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1948
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1949
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1954
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1956
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1958
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1959
(James Westby, #336998)
1964
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1967
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1968
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1971
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1972
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1975
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1976
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1977
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1979
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1980
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1981
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1983
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1984
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1985
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1986
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1989
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1990
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1993
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1996
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1997
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1999
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2000
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2001
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2002
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2004
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
2005
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
2006
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
2011
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
2012
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
2013
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
2014
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
2015
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2017
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
2018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
2020
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
2021
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
2022
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
2023
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
2029
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
2030
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2032
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
2033
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2035
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
2036
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
2037
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2039
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
2040
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
2041
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
2042
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2044
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
2045
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
2046
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
2047
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2049
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
2050
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
2051
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2053
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
2054
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
2055
dependency. (Robert Collins)
2057
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
2058
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
2059
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2061
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
2062
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
2065
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
2066
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
2067
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
2069
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
2070
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2072
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
2073
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
2074
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2076
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
2077
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
2080
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
2081
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2082
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2084
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2085
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2086
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2087
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2088
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2090
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2091
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2092
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2093
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2095
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2096
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2097
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2098
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2100
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2101
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2102
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2104
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2105
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2108
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2109
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2110
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2112
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2113
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2114
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
2115
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
2116
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
2118
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
2119
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
2120
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
2123
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
2124
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
2125
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
2126
desired. (Robert Collins)
2128
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
2129
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
2130
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
2131
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2133
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
2134
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
2135
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
2152
*****************************
2154
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
2155
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
2156
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
2157
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
2158
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
2159
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
2165
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
2166
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
2167
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2169
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
2170
********************************
2172
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
2173
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
2174
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
2179
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
2180
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
2182
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
2183
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
2185
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
2186
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
2188
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2190
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
2191
*********************************
2193
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2194
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2195
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2197
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2198
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2200
Compatibility Breaks
2201
********************
2203
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
2204
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
2205
command may need to be adjusted.
2206
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2211
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2212
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2213
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2215
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2218
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2219
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2220
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2223
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2224
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2226
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2227
(John Arbash Meinel)
2229
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2230
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2232
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
2234
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2235
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2238
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2244
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2245
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2246
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2247
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2248
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2249
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2250
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2251
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2254
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2255
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2257
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2258
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
2259
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
2261
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2262
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2264
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2265
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2266
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2269
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2270
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2271
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2273
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2274
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2275
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2276
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2278
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2281
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2282
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2284
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2285
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2287
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2288
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2289
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2291
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2296
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2297
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2299
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2300
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2301
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2303
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2304
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2307
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2308
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2310
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2311
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2314
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2315
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2316
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2318
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2319
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2321
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2322
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2324
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2325
(James Westby, #174539)
2327
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2328
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2330
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2331
error branching from old repositories.
2332
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2334
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2335
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2337
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2338
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2339
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2340
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2342
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2343
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2346
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2347
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2349
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2350
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2352
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2353
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2354
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2356
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2357
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2359
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2360
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2365
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2366
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2367
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2370
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2371
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2373
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2374
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2379
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2380
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2381
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2382
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2383
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2385
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2386
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2388
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2389
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2390
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2391
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2392
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2393
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2395
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2396
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2398
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2399
"author" argument being deprecated.
2401
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2403
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2404
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2405
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2406
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2408
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2409
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2410
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2412
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2413
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2414
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2416
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2417
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2419
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2420
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2421
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2422
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2427
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2428
free of virtual file system methods.
2429
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2431
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2432
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2433
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2435
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2436
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2437
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2438
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2439
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2440
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2442
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2444
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2445
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2447
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2448
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2449
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2450
stream the operation.
2451
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2453
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2454
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2456
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2457
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2458
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2459
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2460
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2462
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2463
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2465
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2466
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2467
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2469
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2470
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2473
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2476
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2477
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2478
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2480
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2481
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2482
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2484
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2485
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2486
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2488
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2489
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2490
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2492
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2493
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2494
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2495
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2496
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2498
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2499
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2500
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2501
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2502
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2503
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2505
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2506
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2507
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2508
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2509
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2511
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2512
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2514
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2515
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2517
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2518
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2519
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2520
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2521
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2523
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2524
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
2531
:Codename: 1234567890
2533
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
2535
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2536
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2537
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2538
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2539
by showing the rate of network IO.
2541
Changes from RC1 to Final
2542
*************************
2544
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2545
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2547
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2548
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2550
Compatibility Breaks
2551
********************
2553
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2554
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2555
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2556
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2558
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2559
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2560
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2563
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2564
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2565
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2566
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2568
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2569
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2570
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2573
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2578
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2579
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2580
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2583
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2584
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2585
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2587
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2588
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2589
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2590
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2591
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2592
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2593
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2594
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2595
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2601
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2604
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2607
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2608
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2609
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2611
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2612
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2613
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2614
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2615
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2617
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2618
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2620
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2621
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2622
level for better precision.
2625
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2626
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2628
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2629
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2630
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2632
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2633
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2634
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2637
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2638
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2639
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2644
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2646
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2648
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2649
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2650
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2652
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2653
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2654
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2655
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2656
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2657
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2659
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2660
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2662
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2663
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2665
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2666
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2667
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2669
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2670
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2671
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2674
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2675
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2677
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2678
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2679
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2680
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2682
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2683
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2685
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2687
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2692
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2697
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2698
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2701
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2702
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2704
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2705
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2707
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2708
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2710
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2711
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2712
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2713
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2715
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2716
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2717
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2722
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2723
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2724
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2725
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2726
compile buffers, are such an example).
2729
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2730
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2733
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2734
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2735
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2738
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2739
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2741
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2742
formatters to retrict the output.
2749
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2750
:Released: 2009-01-19
2752
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2753
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2754
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2755
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2756
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2758
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2759
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2762
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2763
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2768
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2771
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2772
(John Arbash Meinel)
2779
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2780
:Released: 2009-01-09
2785
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2786
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2791
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2792
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2794
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2795
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2796
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2797
implement other plugins.
2800
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2806
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2807
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2809
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2810
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2812
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2813
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2814
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2815
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2818
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2819
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2820
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2821
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2822
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2824
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2825
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2826
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2827
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2828
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2833
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2834
control directory. (#139691)
2836
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2837
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2839
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2840
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2842
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2843
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2844
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2846
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2847
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2849
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2850
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2851
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2853
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2854
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2856
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2859
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2860
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2861
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2863
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2864
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2866
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2867
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2868
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2870
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2871
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2872
in the appropriate sections.
2873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2875
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2876
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2877
(John Arbash meinel)
2879
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2880
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2882
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2885
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2886
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2888
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2889
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2890
work better with how it splits its requests.
2891
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2893
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2894
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2895
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2897
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2900
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2902
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2905
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2911
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2912
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2913
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2919
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2920
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2921
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2922
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2924
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2925
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2927
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2928
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2929
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2930
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2932
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2933
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2934
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2935
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2940
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2941
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2942
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2944
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2945
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2946
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2947
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2949
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2950
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2951
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2957
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2958
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2959
(John Arbash Meinel)
2961
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2962
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2963
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2964
(John Arbash Meinel)
2966
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2967
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2968
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2969
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2971
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2972
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2973
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2975
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2976
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2977
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2978
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2980
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2981
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2982
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2983
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2984
(John Arbash Meinel)
2986
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2987
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2989
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2990
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2991
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2993
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2994
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2995
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2996
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2998
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2999
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3000
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3001
(John Arbash Meinel)
3003
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
3004
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
3005
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
3006
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
3007
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
3008
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
3009
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3011
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
3012
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

:Released: 2008-12-05
3021
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
3022
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
3023
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
3024
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
3027
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
3032
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
3033
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
3034
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
3035
(Martin Pool, #303856)
3037
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
3038
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
3039
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
3040
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
3041
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
3047
:Released: 2008-11-28
3049
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
3050
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
3051
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
3052
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
3053
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
3058
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
3059
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3061
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
3067
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
3068
history just to set the last revision info.
3069
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3071
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
3072
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
3073
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
3074
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3076
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
3077
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
3078
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
3079
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
3080
(John Arbash Meinel)
3082
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3083
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3085
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3086
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3087
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3088
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3089
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3091
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3092
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3093
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3094
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3099
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3100
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3102
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3103
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3105
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3106
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3107
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3108
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3110
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3111
starting with a dotted revno.
3112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3114
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
3115
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
3116
(Martin Pool, #288751)
3118
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3119
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3120
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3122
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
3123
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
3124
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
3126
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
3127
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
3128
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
3129
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
3131
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
3132
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
3133
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
3135
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
3136
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
3141
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
3142
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
3143
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
3144
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
3146
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
3147
have changed incompatibly.
3149
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
3150
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
3151
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
3152
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
3153
don't need to change.
3155
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
3156
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
3161
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
3162
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
3164
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
3170
:Released: 2008-11-07
3172
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
3173
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
3174
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
3175
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
3176
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
3177
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
3182
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
3183
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
3185
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
3187
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
3188
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
3189
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
3195
:Released: 2008-10-31
3200
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
3201
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
3203
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
3204
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
3205
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
3206
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
3211
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3212
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3213
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3214
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3215
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3216
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3218
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3219
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3221
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3222
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3223
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3225
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3226
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3227
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3230
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3231
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3233
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3234
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3236
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3237
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3239
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3240
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3241
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3242
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3243
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3244
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3245
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3246
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3247
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3248
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3253
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3254
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3256
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3257
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3259
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3260
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3261
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3263
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3264
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3265
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3267
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3268
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3269
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3271
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3272
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3273
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3274
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3275
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3276
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3278
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3279
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3281
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3282
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3284
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3285
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3286
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3287
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3288
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3290
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3291
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3292
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3293
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3298
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3303
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3308
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3309
configuration of authetication credentials.

:Released: 2008-10-16
3317
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3318
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3319
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3320
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3321
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3326
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3327
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3332
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3333
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3339
:Released: 2008-10-07
3344
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3345
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3346
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3347
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3348
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3350
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3351
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3353
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3354
server. (Marius Kruger)
3356
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3357
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3358
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3359
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3360
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3361
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3366
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3367
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3368
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3375
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3376
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3377
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3378
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3380
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3381
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3384
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3385
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3388
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3391
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3393
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3394
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3396
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3397
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3399
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3400
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3401
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3402
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3403
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3404
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3405
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3406
operations. (Robert Collins)
3408
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3410
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3411
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3412
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3417
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3418
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3419
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3421
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3422
repository now preserves the repository format.
3423
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3425
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3426
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3428
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3431
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3435
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3438
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3439
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3440
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3442
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3443
is in a different repository than the current one.
3444
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3446
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3447
(David Futcher, #242106)
3449
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3450
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3452
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3453
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3454
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3455
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3457
* Trivial documentation fix.
3458
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3460
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3461
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3462
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3463
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3468
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3473
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3474
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3475
to use. (Robert Collins)
3477
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3478
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3479
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3481
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3482
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3483
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3484
they want. (Robert Collins)
3489
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3490
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3491
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3493
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3494
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3497
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3500
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3501
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3503
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3509
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3510
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3512
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3513
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3514
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3516
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3517
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3518
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3520
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3521
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3523
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3524
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3526
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3527
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3529
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3530
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3531
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3532
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
3548
:Released: 2008-09-24
3550
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3551
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3556
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3557
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3558
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3559
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
3560
(John Arbash Meinel)
3566
:Released: 2008-09-23
3568
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3569
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3570
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3571
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3572
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3573
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3578
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
3579
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
3580
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
3586
:Released: 2008-09-17
3588
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3589
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3590
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3591
connect to the stacked-on location.
3596
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3597
repository now preserves the repository format.
3598
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3600
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3601
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3603
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3606
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3613
:Released: 2008-09-09
3615
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3616
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3617
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3618
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3619
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3620
it in a future repository format.
3626
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3629
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3630
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3631
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3633
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3634
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3635
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3640
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3641
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3643
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3648
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3649
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3652
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3653
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3655
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3656
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3659
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3660
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3661
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3662
(John Arbash Meinel)
3664
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3665
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3667
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3668
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3669
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3670
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3671
(John Arbash Meinel)
3673
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3674
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3675
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3676
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3677
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3678
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3679
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3680
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3681
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3682
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3687
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3688
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3690
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3691
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3692
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3694
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3695
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3696
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3698
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3699
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3700
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3701
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3702
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3703
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3705
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3706
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3708
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3709
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3711
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3712
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3713
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3714
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3715
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3716
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3718
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3719
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3721
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3722
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3724
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3725
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3726
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3727
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3729
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3730
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3732
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3733
assuming the host name is ascii.
3734
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3736
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3737
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3742
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3747
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3749
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3750
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3751
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3754
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3755
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3757
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3758
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3760
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3761
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3766
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3767
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3768
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3769
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3771
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3775
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3776
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3777
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3779
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3785
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3786
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3789
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3790
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3791
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3792
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3793
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3795
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3796
is unknown in both source and target.
3797
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3799
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3800
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3801
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3802
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3804
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3805
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3806
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3807
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

:Released: 2008-09-05
3815
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3816
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3817
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3823
:Released: 2008-09-03
3828
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3829
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3830
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3831
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3837
:Released: 2008-08-29
3839
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3840
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3841
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3842
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3843
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3844
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3845
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3846
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3847
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3848
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3849
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3850
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3855
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3856
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3857
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3858
start of the string (causing more copies).
3859
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3860
especially for projects with large files.
3861
(John Arbash Meinel)
3863
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3864
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3865
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3866
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3867
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3869
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3870
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3871
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3872
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3873
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
3882
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3883
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3884
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3885
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3886
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3887
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3888
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3889
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3890
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3896
:Released: 2008-08-19
3901
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3902
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3903
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3904
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3905
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3911
:Released: 2008-08-18
3916
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3917
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3918
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3924
:Released: 2008-08-14
3929
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3930
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3936
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3937
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3938
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3944
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3945
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3946
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3948
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3949
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3950
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3951
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3952
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3953
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3954
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3960
:Released: 2008-08-13
3962
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3968
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3969
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3971
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3972
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3975
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3976
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3977
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3978
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3979
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3981
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3982
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3984
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3985
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3987
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3988
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3990
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3991
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3992
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3993
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3994
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3995
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
4001
:Released: 2008-08-06
4003
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
4004
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
4005
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
4006
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
4007
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
4012
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
4013
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
4014
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
4019
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
4020
check. (Daniel Watkins)
4022
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
4023
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
4025
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
4026
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
4027
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4029
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
4032
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
4033
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
4034
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
4035
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
4036
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
4037
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
4038
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4040
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
4041
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
4042
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
4047
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
4048
physical repository boundaries.
4049
(Martin Pool, #252428)
4051
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
4052
(Martin Pool, #206258)
4054
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
4055
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
4058
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
4061
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
4062
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
4063
that Python is running from.
4064
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
4066
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
4067
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
4068
(Robert Collins, #150438)
4070
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
4071
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
4073
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
4074
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
4075
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
4077
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
4078
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
4080
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
4081
(James Westby, #248448)
4086
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4087
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4088
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4091
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4092
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4095
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4096
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4097
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4098
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4099
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4100
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4103
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4104
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4106
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4107
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4108
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4109
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4110
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4111
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
4116
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
4117
putting together a real history without having to create a full
4118
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
4119
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
4120
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
4121
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4123
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
4124
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
4125
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
4127
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
4130
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
4131
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
4133
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
4140
:Released: 2008-07-17
4142
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
4143
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
4144
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
4145
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
4151
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
4152
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
4153
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
4155
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
4156
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
4157
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
4158
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
4159
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
4162
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
4164
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
4165
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
4166
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
4172
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
4173
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
4176
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
4177
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
4178
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
4179
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
4181
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
4182
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
4183
(Christophe Troestler)
4185
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
4186
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
4188
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
4189
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
4190
faster. The new request method name is
4191
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4196
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
4197
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
4198
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
4199
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
4200
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
4202
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
4203
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
4205
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
4206
requires a branch to be present.
4207
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
4209
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
4211
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4213
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4214
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4215
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4216
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4218
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4219
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4221
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4223
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4225
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4226
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4227
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4228
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4229
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4231
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4232
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4234
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4235
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4237
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4239
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4241
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4242
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4244
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4245
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4250
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4253
* Updated developer documentation.
4259
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4260
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4262
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4263
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4264
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4265
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4270
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4271
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4272
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4273
Repository docstring for more details.
4276
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4277
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4278
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4280
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4281
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4284
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4285
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4286
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4287
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4292
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4293
(Alexander Belchenko)
4295
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4296
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4297
containing a given location.
4300
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4301
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4302
storage. (Robert Collins)
4304
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4307
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4308
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
4315
:Released: 2008-06-10
4317
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
4318
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
4319
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
4325
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
4326
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
4327
reading from the repository.)
4328
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
4330
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4331
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4333
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4334
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4337
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4338
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4339
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4341
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4342
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4343
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4345
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4346
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
4348
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4349
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4350
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4351
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4356
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4358
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4359
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4360
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4363
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4364
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4369
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4374
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4375
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4380
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4381
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4382
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4383
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4384
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4386
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4387
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4392
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4393
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4395
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4396
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4401
:Released: 2008-06-02
4403
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4404
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4405
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4406
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4407
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4408
and future extensions.
4411
Notes When Upgrading
4412
********************
4414
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4415
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4416
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4417
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4418
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4419
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4420
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4421
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4426
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4427
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4428
(John Arbash Meinel)
4433
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4434
load. (James Westby)
4439
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4440
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4441
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4442
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4444
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4445
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4446
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4448
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4449
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4451
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4452
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4453
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4455
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4456
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4457
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4458
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4459
step closer to not using full revision history.
4460
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4465
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4466
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4468
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4469
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4471
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4472
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4474
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4475
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4476
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4477
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4479
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4480
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4481
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4482
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4484
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4485
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4486
in use by another process.
4489
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4490
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4491
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4492
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4494
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4495
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4497
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4498
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4499
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4501
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4502
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4505
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4509
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4510
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4512
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4513
under vim on Mac OS X.
4514
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4516
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4517
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4522
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4523
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4525
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4526
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4529
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4530
and about use of Python reprs.
4531
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4533
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4538
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4541
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4542
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4544
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4545
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4550
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4551
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4552
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4553
(John Arbash Meinel)
4558
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4559
instead. (Martin Pool)
4561
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4562
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4563
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4564
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4566
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4567
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4568
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4569
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4570
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4572
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4573
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4574
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4575
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4576
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4577
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4579
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4580
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4583
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4584
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4587
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4588
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4589
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4590
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4592
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4593
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4594
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4596
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4597
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4598
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4599
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4600
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4603
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4604
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4605
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4606
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4609
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4610
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4611
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4612
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4613
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4615
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4622
:Released: 2008-05-16
4624
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4625
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4626
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4631
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4632
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4633
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4638
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4639
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4646
:Released: 2008-05-09
4651
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4652
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4653
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4654
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4659
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4660
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4662
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4663
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4665
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4671
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4674
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4675
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4677
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4678
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4679
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4681
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4682
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4683
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4685
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4688
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4691
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4692
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4694
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4695
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4697
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4698
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4700
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4701
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4704
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4705
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4707
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4708
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4710
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4711
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4712
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4713
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4715
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4716
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4719
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4720
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4721
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4723
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4724
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4725
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4726
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4727
every revision each side had in common.
4728
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4730
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4731
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4733
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4734
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4735
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4736
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4741
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4742
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4743
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4744
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4746
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4748
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4750
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4756
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4757
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4758
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4760
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4761
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4762
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4763
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4765
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4766
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4768
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4769
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4770
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4771
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4773
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4774
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4775
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4776
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4781
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4782
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4783
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4785
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4787
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4788
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4790
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4791
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4793
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4794
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4799
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4800
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4801
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4803
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4804
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4805
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4808
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4809
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4812
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
4821
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4822
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4823
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4824
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4825
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4826
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4827
and faster performance.
4832
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4833
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4834
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4847
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4848
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4850
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
4851
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4853
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4854
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
4856
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4857
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4858
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4859
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4860
every revision each side had in common.

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4867
:Released: 2008-04-11
4872
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4874
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4875
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4877
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4878
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4879
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4881
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4882
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4883
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4884
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4885
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4886
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4889
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4890
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4891
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4892
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4897
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4899
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4900
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4901
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4903
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4904
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4905
See the User Reference for signature details.
4906
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4908
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4909
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4914
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4915
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4916
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4917
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4919
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4920
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4922
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4923
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4924
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4927
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4930
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4931
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4932
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4934
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4937
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4938
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4940
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4941
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4943
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4944
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4945
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4947
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4948
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4949
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4950
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4951
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4953
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4954
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4956
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4957
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4962
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4963
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4964
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4965
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4966
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4967
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4969
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4970
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4972
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4973
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4974
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4976
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4977
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4979
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4980
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4981
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4982
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4984
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4985
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4986
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4987
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4988
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4990
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4992
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4993
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4995
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4997
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4998
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
5000
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
5001
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
5006
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
5008
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
5010
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5012
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
5017
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
5018
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
5019
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
5021
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
5022
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
5023
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
5024
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
5026
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
5027
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
5028
release. (James Westby)
5030
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
5033
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
5035
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
5036
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5038
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
5039
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5041
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
5042
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
5044
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
5045
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
5046
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
5048
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
5049
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
5050
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
5051
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
5053
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
5054
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
5055
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
5056
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
5058
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
5059
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
5060
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
5061
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
5062
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
5063
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
5065
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
5066
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
5067
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
5069
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
5070
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5072
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
5073
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
5076
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
5077
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
5079
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
5080
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
5082
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
5083
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
5085
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5086
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
5087
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
5089
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
5090
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
5091
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
5092
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
5093
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
5094
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
5099
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
5100
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
5101
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
5102
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
5104
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
5105
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
5106
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
5107
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
5111
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
5112
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
5115
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
5116
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
5118
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
5120
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
5121
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
5122
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
5127
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5129
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
5132
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
5133
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
5134
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
5135
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
5136
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
5137
(Martin Pool, #109520)
5139
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
5140
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
5142
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
5143
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
5144
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
5145
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
5147
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
5148
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
5150
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
5151
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5201
********************
5203
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
5204
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
5209
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
5210
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
5211
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5212
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5215
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5216
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5217
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5218
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location

for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5220
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5222
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5223
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5224
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5225
(Alexander Belchenko)
5227
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5229
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5230
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5235
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5236
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5238
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5239
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5245
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5247
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5249
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5250
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5251
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5253
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5254
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5256
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5257
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5259
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5260
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5261
(Alexander Belchenko)
5263
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5264
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5265
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5266
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5268
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5271
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5272
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5273
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5274
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5275
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5280
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5281
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5282
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5283
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5285
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5286
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5288
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5289
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
5291
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
5292
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
5293
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
5295
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
5296
(#198793, John Ferlito)
5298
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
5301
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
5302
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
5304
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
5306
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
5308
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
5309
symlinks (James Henstridge)
5311
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
5312
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
5314
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
5315
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
5317
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
5318
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
5320
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
5321
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
5323
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
5324
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
5329
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
5330
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5335
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5336
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5337
(Alexander Belchenko)
5342
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5344
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5345
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5351
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5352
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5353
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5355
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5356
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5357
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5358
(Alexander Belchenko)
5360
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5361
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5362
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5363
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5365
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5366
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5367
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5370
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5371
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5372
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5374
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5375
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5376
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5378
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5379
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5380
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5381
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5401
********************
5403
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5404
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5405
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5406
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5407
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5413
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5414
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5416
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5417
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5418
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5420
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5421
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5422
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5423
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5424
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5425
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5431
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5432
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5434
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5435
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5436
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5439
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5440
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5441
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5442
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5443
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5445
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5446
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5447
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5448
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5449
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5450
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5451
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5452
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5457
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5458
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5460
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5461
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5463
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5464
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5466
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5467
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5468
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5470
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5471
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5472
(John Arbash Meinel)
5477
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5478
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5480
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5481
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5483
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5484
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5486
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5487
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5488
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5490
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5491
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5492
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5494
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5495
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5497
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5498
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5499
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5500
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5501
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5503
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5505
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5506
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5509
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5510
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5512
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5513
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5515
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
5518
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5519
more characters which should be considered valid.
5520
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5522
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5523
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5525
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5526
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5531
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5532
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5534
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5535
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5541
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5542
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5548
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5549
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5550
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5552
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5553
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5554
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5556
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5557
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5558
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5559
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5561
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5563
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5564
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5565
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5566
server. (Robert Collins)
5568
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5569
operate. (Robert Collins)
5571
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5572
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5573
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5575
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5576
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5577
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5578
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5580
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5581
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5583
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5584
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5585
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5587
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5588
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5590
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5591
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5593
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5594
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5595
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5596
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

5609
:Released: 2008-01-05
5614
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5615
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5616
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5617
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5619
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5620
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5621
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5622
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5627
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5630
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5633
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5634
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5639
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5642
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5643
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5644
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5646
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5648
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5649
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5650
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5651
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5652
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5654
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5655
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5656
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5658
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5659
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5661
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5664
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5666
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5668
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5671
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5672
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5677
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
5678
(Martin Pool, #180208)
5680
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
5681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
5683
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
5686
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5687
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5689
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5690
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
5692
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5693
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5695
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5696
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5698
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5699
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5700
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5702
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5705
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5706
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5709
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5711
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5712
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5715
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5716
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5718
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5721
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5724
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5725
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5727
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5730
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5731
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5734
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5735
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5736
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5741
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5744
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5745
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5746
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5747
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5748
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5749
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
5751
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
5756
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
5759
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
5760
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
5762
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5764
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5765
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5766
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5769
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5770
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5772
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5781
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5782
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5783
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5785
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5786
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5789
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5790
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5792
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5793
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5795
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5796
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5798
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5799
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5800
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5802
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5803
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5805
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5806
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5808
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5809
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5812
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5813
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5815
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5816
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
5858
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
5859
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
5860
feedback but also incur more latency.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
5863
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
5864
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
5869
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5871
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
5877
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
5878
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
5879
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
5891
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5893
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
5896
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
5899
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
5900
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
5901
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
5902
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5904
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
5907
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
5908
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
5910
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
5911
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
5912
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5914
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5915
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5916
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5917
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5918
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5919
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
5920
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
5921
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
5922
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
5927
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
5930
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
5935
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.

* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
5943
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
5951
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

Notes When Upgrading
5966
********************
5968
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5969
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5970
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5971
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5973
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5974
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5976
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5977
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5979
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5980
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5981
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5982
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5983
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5984
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5985
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5986
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5987
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5988
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5989
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5990
from any tree without problems.
5991
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5996
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5997
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5998
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
6000
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
6001
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
6007
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
6008
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
6009
supported transports.
6012
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
6013
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
6014
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
6016
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
6017
(Robert Collins, #154173)
6019
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
6020
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
6021
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
6022
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
6024
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
6025
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
6030
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
6031
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
6032
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
6033
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6035
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
6036
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
6037
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
6038
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
6040
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
6041
(Robert Collins, #88319)
6043
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
6044
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
6046
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
6047
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
6049
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
6050
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
6056
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
6059
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
6060
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
6063
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
6064
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
6065
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
6066
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
6068
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
6069
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
6070
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
6071
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
6079
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
6080
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6082
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6083
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6085
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6086
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6088
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6091
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6092
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6094
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6095
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6097
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6100
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6103
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6106
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6107
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6110
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6111
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
6113
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6114
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
6116
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
6117
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
6119
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
6120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
6122
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
6123
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
6124
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
6125
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
6127
(Martin Pool, #164637)
6129
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
6130
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
6131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
6133
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
6134
(Robert Collins, #161240)
6136
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
6138
(Martin Pool, #164443)
6140
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
6141
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
6143
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
6144
specify a port in urls.
6145
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
6147
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
6148
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
6150
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
6151
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
6153
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
6154
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
6156
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
6157
(Robert Collins, #153789)
6159
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
6160
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
6161
(Robert Collins, #165304).
6163
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
6165
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
6166
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
6168
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
6171
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
6172
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
6174
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
6175
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
6177
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
6178
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
6179
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
6181
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
6182
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
6184
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
6185
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
6186
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
6187
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
6189
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
6190
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
6192
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
6193
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
6194
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
6196
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
6197
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
6199
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
6200
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
6202
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
6203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
6208
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
6209
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
6211
* The return value of
6212
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6213
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6214
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6215
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6217
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6220
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6221
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6228
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6229
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6230
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6233
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6234
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6236
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6242
:Released: 2007-11-05
6247
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
6253
:Released: 2007-10-29
6258
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6259
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6261
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6262
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6263
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6264
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6265
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6266
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6267
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6268
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6269
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6270
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6271
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6272
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6278
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6279
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6280
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6281
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6282
commands. (Robert Collins)
6284
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6285
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6286
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6289
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6291
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6292
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6294
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6295
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6298
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6299
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6300
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6305
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6306
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6308
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6309
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6311
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6312
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6313
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6314
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6316
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6319
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6320
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6321
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6322
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6324
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6325
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6327
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6328
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6330
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6331
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6333
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6334
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6339
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6340
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6342
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6343
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6345
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6346
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6348
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6349
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6351
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6352
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6357
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6359
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6365
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6366
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6367
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6369
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6370
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6372
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6373
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6375
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6376
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6377
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6378
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6380
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6381
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6382
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6383
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6384
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6386
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6387
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6391
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6393
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6394
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6396
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6399
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6402
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6403
contains a symbolic link.
6404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6406
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6407
(James Westby, #140615)
6409
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6410
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6411
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6413
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6414
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6415
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6417
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6419
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6422
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6426
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6427
directory to detect leaking tests.
6428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6430
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6431
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6432
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6434
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6437
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6438
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6440
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6446
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6447
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6449
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6450
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6451
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6453
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6454
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6455
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6457
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6458
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6460
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6461
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6463
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6464
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6467
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6468
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6470
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6471
class that needs it.
6474
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6475
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6477
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6478
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6479
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6481
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6482
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6483
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6486
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6487
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6488
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6489
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6495
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6496
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6497
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6499
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6500
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6501
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6502
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6504
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6505
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6508
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6509
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6510
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6512
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6513
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6514
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6516
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6517
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6519
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6520
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6521
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6523
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6524
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6526
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6527
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6528
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6530
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6531
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6532
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6534
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6535
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6536
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6537
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6539
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6540
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6541
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6542
returned. (Robert Collins)
6544
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6545
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6547
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6548
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6549
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6550
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6553
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6554
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6559
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6560
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6562
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6563
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6564
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6565
makes this behavior available to other users.
6568
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6569
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6575
:Released: 2007-09-26
6580
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6581
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6582
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6584
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6586
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6587
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6588
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6589
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6591
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6592
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6599
:Released: 2007-09-11
6601
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6602
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6608
:Released: 2007-09-11
6613
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6614
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6615
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6616
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6619
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6620
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6621
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6627
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6628
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6629
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6632
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6633
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6634
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6636
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6637
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6638
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6640
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6641
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6643
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6644
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6645
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6646
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6647
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6648
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6649
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6650
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6651
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6652
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6654
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6655
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6657
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6658
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6659
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6664
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6665
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6667
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6668
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6669
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6671
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6672
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6674
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6675
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6677
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6680
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6681
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6683
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6684
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6686
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6687
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6689
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6690
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6692
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6694
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6697
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6698
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6699
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6700
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6702
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6704
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6705
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6708
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6709
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6711
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6712
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6715
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6716
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6718
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6719
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6721
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6722
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6723
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6724
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6725
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6726
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6727
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6729
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6730
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6732
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6733
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6735
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6736
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6738
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6741
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6743
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6745
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6746
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6748
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6749
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6750
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6752
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6753
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6754
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6759
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6760
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6762
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6765
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6768
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6769
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6771
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6773
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6774
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6776
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6777
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6779
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6780
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6781
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6782
space). (Robert Collins)
6784
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6785
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6788
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6789
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6791
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6792
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6794
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6795
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6796
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6797
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6799
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6800
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6801
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6804
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6807
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6808
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6809
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6811
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6812
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6813
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6814
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6815
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6820
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6821
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6823
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6824
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6825
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6826
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6827
affected. (Robert Collins)
6829
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6830
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6831
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6834
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6835
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6840
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6841
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6843
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6844
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6846
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6847
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6849
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6852
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6853
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6858
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6859
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6860
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6861
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6863
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6864
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6866
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6867
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6868
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6869
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6871
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6872
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6873
present. (Robert Collins)
6875
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6876
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6877
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6878
API. (Robert Collins)
6880
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6881
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6884
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6885
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6887
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6888
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6889
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6890
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6891
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6892
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6894
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6895
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6896
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6898
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6899
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6900
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6901
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6904
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6907
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6908
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6909
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6910
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6911
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6912
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6913
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6915
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6916
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6917
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6918
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6920
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6921
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6922
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6923
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6924
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6925
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6927
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6928
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6929
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6931
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6932
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6938
:Released: 2007-08-28
6943
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6944
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6945
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6946
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6947
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6948
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6949
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6950
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6956
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6957
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6958
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6964
:Released: 2007-08-14
6969
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6970
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6971
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6972
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6973
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6975
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6976
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6978
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6982
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6983
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6986
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6987
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6990
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6993
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6994
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6996
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6997
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6999
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7000
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7002
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7003
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
7005
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
7006
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
7008
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
7014
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
7015
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
7017
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
7018
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
7020
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
7021
the repository (Robert Collins)
7023
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
7024
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
7025
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
7026
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
7027
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
7029
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
7030
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7032
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
7033
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
7034
(John Arbash Meinel)
7036
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
7037
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
7038
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
7040
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
7041
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
7042
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
7043
(John Arbash Meinel)
7045
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
7046
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
7049
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
7050
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
7052
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
7055
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
7057
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
7059
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
7060
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
7062
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
7063
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
7066
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
7067
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
7068
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
7069
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7071
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
7072
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
7073
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
7075
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
7076
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
7077
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
7079
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
7080
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7082
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7083
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7084
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7085
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7086
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7087
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7090
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7091
(Alexander Belchenko)
7093
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7094
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7096
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7097
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7099
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7101
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7102
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7107
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7108
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7109
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7110
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7112
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7114
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
7117
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
7118
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
7119
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
7120
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
7121
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
7122
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
7127
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
7128
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
7129
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
7130
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
7132
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
7133
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
7134
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
7135
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
7136
tests have been refactored too.
7139
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
7140
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
7141
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
7145
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
7146
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
7147
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7149
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
7150
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
7151
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
7152
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
7153
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
7154
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
7155
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
7157
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
7158
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
7159
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
7160
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
7161
(John Arbash Meinel)
7163
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
7164
functionality for testing.
7166
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
7168
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
7169
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7171
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
7173
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
7176
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
7177
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
7179
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
7180
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
7181
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
7183
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
7186
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
7187
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
7189
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
7190
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
7191
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
7192
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
7194
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
7195
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
7197
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
7198
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
7199
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
7201
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
7204
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
7205
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
7206
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
7207
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
7208
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
7209
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
7211
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7212
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7213
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7214
many files. (Robert Collins)
7216
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7217
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7218
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7219
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7224
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7225
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7226
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7228
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7229
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7231
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7232
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7233
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

7250
:Released: 2007-07-10
7255
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
7256
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7258
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
7259
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
7260
(James Westby, #122656)
7262
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7263
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
7265
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7266
authentication header.
7267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
7269
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
7271
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
7272
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
7274
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
7276
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
7277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
7279
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
7280
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
7281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
7283
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
7284
individually and as part of revision ranges.
7285
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
7287
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
7288
(Martin Pool, #109169)
7290
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
7291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
7293
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
7294
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
7296
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7298
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7303
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7304
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7305
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7306
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7307
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7308
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7310
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7311
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7312
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7314
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7317
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7318
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7320
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7321
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7323
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7324
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7326
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7327
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7328
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7329
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7330
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7332
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7333
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7335
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7336
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7337
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7339
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7340
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7342
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
7344
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7345
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7347
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7348
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7351
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7354
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7355
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7357
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7358
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7360
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7361
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7363
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7365
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7366
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7368
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7374
* Testing cleanups -
7375
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7376
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7377
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7378
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7379
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7380
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7381
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7382
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7383
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7384
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7385
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7386
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
7387
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7388
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
7389
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7390
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7391
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7394
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7396
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7397
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7398
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7400
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7401
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7403
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7404
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7406
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7408
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7409
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7410
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7411
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7412
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7413
same location. (Robert Collins)
7418
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7420
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7422
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7424
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7427
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7430
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7431
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7432
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7434
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7436
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7437
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7438
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7440
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7441
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7443
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7444
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7445
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7447
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7448
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7449
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7451
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7452
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7453
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7455
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7456
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7459
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7460
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7462
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7463
(Alexander Belchenko)
7468
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7469
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7470
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7471
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7473
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7474
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7475
testing. (Robert Collins)
7477
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7478
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7480
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7481
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7482
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7483
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7484
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7485
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7486
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7488
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7489
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7490
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7491
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7493
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7494
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7496
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7497
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7522
********************
7524
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7525
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7526
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7527
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7528
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7529
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7530
and unlock() like so::
7532
work_tree.lock_read()
7534
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7540
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7541
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7543
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7544
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7545
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7547
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7548
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7549
too. (Robert Collins)
7554
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7555
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7558
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7559
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7561
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7562
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7564
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7565
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7566
understanding what changes have occurred
7567
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7569
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7570
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7571
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7573
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7574
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7575
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7576
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7578
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7584
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7585
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7586
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7587
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7588
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7590
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7591
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7592
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7594
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7597
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7601
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7602
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7604
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7605
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7607
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7608
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)

* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7611
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7613
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7614
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7616
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7617
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7618
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7623
:Released: 2007-05-07
7628
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7629
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7630
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7631
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7632
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7634
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7635
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7636
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7638
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7639
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7644
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7645
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7646
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7648
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7649
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7650
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7651
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7656
:Released: 2007-04-30
7661
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7662
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7663
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7664
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7666
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7667
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7668
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7670
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7671
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7673
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7674
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7676
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7677
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
7685
********************
7687
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7688
it could be recovered again.
7689
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7690
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7691
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7693
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7695
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7696
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7701
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7702
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7704
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7705
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7706
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7707
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7709
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7710
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7712
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7713
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7714
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7716
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7717
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7718
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7720
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7721
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7722
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7724
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7725
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7728
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7731
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7732
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7733
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7734
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7736
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7739
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7740
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7741
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7744
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7745
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7747
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7748
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7750
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7751
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7752
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7753
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7756
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7757
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7759
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7760
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7762
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7763
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7764
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7766
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7767
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7768
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7770
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7771
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7772
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7774
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7775
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7776
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7777
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7779
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7780
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7781
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7782
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7784
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7785
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7786
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7787
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7788
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7789
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7790
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7791
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7798
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7799
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7801
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7802
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7803
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7804
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7805
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7807
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7808
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7810
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7811
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7813
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7814
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7816
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7817
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7819
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7820
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7821
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7824
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7825
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7826
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7827
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7828
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7831
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7832
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7833
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7835
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7836
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7839
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7840
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7841
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7844
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7845
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7846
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7847
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7848
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7850
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7851
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7852
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7853
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7855
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7856
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7858
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7859
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7860
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7861
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7862
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7863
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7865
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7866
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7868
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7869
help. (Robert Collins)
7871
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7872
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7874
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7875
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7876
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7877
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7878
(John Arbash Meinel)
7880
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7881
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7882
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7883
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7884
useful. (Robert Collins)
7886
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7892
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7893
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7895
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7896
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7898
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7899
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7900
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7902
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7905
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7906
the file, and does it faster.
7907
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7909
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7910
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7911
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7913
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7914
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7915
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7916
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7918
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7919
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7920
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7921
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7923
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7924
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7926
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7927
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7928
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7929
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7932
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7934
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7935
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7937
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7938
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7940
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7941
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7942
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7943
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7947
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7953
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7954
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7955
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7957
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7958
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7960
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7961
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7962
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7963
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7964
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7965
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7966
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7967
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7969
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7970
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7971
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7973
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7974
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7975
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7976
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7977
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7979
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7981
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7982
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7983
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7985
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7986
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7992
:Released: 2007-04-01
7997
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
8000
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
8001
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
8007
:Released: 2007-03-26
8012
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
8013
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
8019
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
8020
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
8021
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
8022
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
8023
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
8024
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
8025
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
8026
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
8032
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
8033
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
8034
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
8036
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
8037
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
8040
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
8041
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
8042
(John Arbash Meinel)
8044
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
8045
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
8046
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
8047
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
8048
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
8053
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
8056
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
8057
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
8059
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
8060
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
8062
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
8063
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
8064
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
8066
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
8067
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
8069
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
8070
last-changed-revision for directories. The
8071
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
8072
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
8073
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
8075
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
8076
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
8077
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
8079
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
8088
********************
8090
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8091
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8092
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8097
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8098
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8100
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8101
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8103
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8105
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8106
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8108
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8109
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8114
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
8120
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
8121
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
8122
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
8123
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
8125
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
8126
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
8128
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
8129
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
8131
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
8134
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
8135
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
8141
:Released: 2007-03-07
8146
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
8147
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
8148
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
8149
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
8150
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
8151
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
8153
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
8154
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
8155
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8156
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
8157
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
8158
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
8160
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8162
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
8163
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
8164
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
8165
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
8166
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
8167
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
8168
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
8169
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8174
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
8175
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8177
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
8178
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
8179
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
8180
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
8182
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
8183
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
8184
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
8185
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
8186
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
8188
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
8191
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
8194
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
8197
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
8198
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
8201
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
8204
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
8205
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
8207
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
8208
directory. (Martin Pool)
8210
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
8211
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8212
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8213
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8215
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8216
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8217
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8218
in docs/configuration.txt.
8220
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8221
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8224
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8225
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8226
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8227
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8228
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8229
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8231
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8232
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8234
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8235
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8237
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8243
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8244
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8245
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8246
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8247
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8248
(John Arbash Meinel)
8250
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8251
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8254
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8255
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8256
(John Arbash Meinel)
8258
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8259
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8260
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8261
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8262
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8263
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8265
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8266
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8267
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8269
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8270
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8271
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8272
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8274
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8276
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8277
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8278
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8279
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8281
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8282
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8283
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8284
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8286
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8287
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8288
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8290
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8291
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8292
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8294
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8295
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8296
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8297
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8299
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8300
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8301
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8303
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8304
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8305
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8307
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8308
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8309
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8310
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8311
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8312
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8313
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8314
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8315
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
8316

8317
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8322
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8323
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8324
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8326
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8329
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8330
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8331
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8332
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8334
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8335
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8338
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8339
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
8341
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8343
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8344
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8345
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8347
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
8348
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
8350
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
8351
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)

* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
8354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
8357
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
8361
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
8362
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
8367

8368
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

8379
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
8384
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8385
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8386
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8388
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8389
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8390
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8396
:Released: 2007-01-16
8401
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8402
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8403
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8404
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8406
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8409
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8410
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8411
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8413
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8414
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8416
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8419
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8420
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8421
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8422
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8423
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8424
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8426
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8427
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8428
should enable you to do::
8430
[/home/user/project]
8431
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8432
push_location:policy = appendpath
8434
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8435
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8438
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8439
for each file. For example::
8441
$ bzr status --short
8447
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8448
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8450
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8452
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8453
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8455
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8460
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8461
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8462
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8463
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8465
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8466
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8467
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8469
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8471
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8472
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8473
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8474
(Alexander Belchenko)
8476
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8479
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8480
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8482
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8487
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8488
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8490
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8491
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8492
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8493
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8494
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8496
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8497
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8499
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8500
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8502
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8504
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8506
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8507
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8508
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8509
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8510
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8512
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8513
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8514
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8515
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8517
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8518
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8520
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8521
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8523
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8524
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8548
(Daniel Silverstone)
8550
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8551
operations are substantially faster.
8552
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8554
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8555
tree from some other url. For example:
8556
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8557
(Daniel Silverstone)
8559
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8560
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8561
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8562
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8564
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8567
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8568
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8569
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8570
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8571
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8572
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8577
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8578
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8581
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8582
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8583
(John Arbash Meinel)
8585
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8586
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8587
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8588
(John Arbash Meinel)
8590
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8591
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8593
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8594
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8596
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8597
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8603
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8604
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8605
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8607
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8608
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8609
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8610
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8612
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8614
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8615
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8617
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8618
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8619
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8622
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8623
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8624
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8626
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8627
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8628
them as full references rather than integers.
8629
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8631
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8632
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8634
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8636
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8637
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8639
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8640
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8642
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8643
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8644
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8645
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8647
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8648
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8649
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8651
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8652
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8654
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8655
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8656
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8657
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8687
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8688
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8689
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8691
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8692
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8694
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8696
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8697
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8698
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8699
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8701
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8702
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8703
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8704
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8705
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8710
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8711
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8716
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8717
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8718
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8720
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8721
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8722
(John Arbash Meinel)
8724
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8725
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8726
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8728
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8729
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8732
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8733
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8734
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8736
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8737
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8738
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8739
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8740
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8741
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8743
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8744
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8745
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8748
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8749
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8754
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8755
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
8756
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8759
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8760
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8762
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8763
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8764
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8766
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8767
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8769
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8770
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8771
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8772
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8774
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8775
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8777
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8778
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8779
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
8781
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8782
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8784
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8786
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8787
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
8793
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
8794
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8795
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8796
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8798
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8799
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8800
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8805
:Released: 2006-10-02
8807
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
8812
:Released: 2006-09-27
8817
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
8819
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
8825
:Released: 2006-09-25
8830
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8831
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8832
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8833
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8834
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8835
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8836
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8838
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8839
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8840
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8842
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8844
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8845
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8847
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8848
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8849
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8852
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8853
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8854
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8855
(John Arbash Meinel)
8857
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8858
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8859
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8860
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8863
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8864
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8865
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8866
(John Arbash Meinel)
8871
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8872
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8874
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8876
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8877
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8878
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8880
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8881
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8883
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8884
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8886
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8887
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
8889
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8890
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8892
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8894
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8895
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8897
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8898
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8900
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8901
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8903
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8904
(John Arbash Meinel)
8906
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8907
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8908
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8910
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8911
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8913
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8914
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8915
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8916
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8918
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8919
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8920
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8922
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8923
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8928
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8933
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8934
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8935
(John Arbash Meinel)
8937
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8938
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8939
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8940
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8942
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8945
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8946
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8947
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8949
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8950
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8952
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8953
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8954
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8956
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8957
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8958
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8959
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8960
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8961
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8962
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8963
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8964
caller to repeat their request.
8965
(John Arbash Meinel)
8967
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8968
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8970
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8971
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8973
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8974
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8975
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8976
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8977
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8978
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8979
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8981
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8982
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8983
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8984
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8985
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8986
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8987
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8988
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8991
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8992
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8993
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8995
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8996
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8998
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8999
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9001
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
9002
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9007
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
9008
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
9010
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
9011
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
9012
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9014
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
9015
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
9016
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9021
:Released: 2006-08-29
9025
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
9026
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
9028
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
9029
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
9030
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
9031
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
9032
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
9034
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
9035
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
9036
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
9038
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
9039
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
9041
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
9042
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
9043
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9048
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
9050
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
9051
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
9052
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
9054
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
9056
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
9058
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
9059
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
9060
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
9061
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
9063
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
9064
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
9065
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
9066
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
9067
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
9069
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
9070
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
9072
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
9073
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
9075
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
9076
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
9078
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
9079
in handling of revision properties.
9080
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9082
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9083
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9088
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9089
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9090
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9091
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9092
(John Arbash Meinel)
9094
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9095
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9096
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9101
:Released: 2006-08-11
9106
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9107
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9108
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9109
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9110
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9111
a more conservative list than the old default.
9112
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9113
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9114
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
9115
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
9117
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
9118
to more locations than just branch locations.
9124
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
9125
revno:N:branch. For example,
9126
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
9127
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
9129
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
9130
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
9131
the path of a file that has been versioned.
9132
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9133
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9134
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
9135
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
9136
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
9139
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
9140
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
9141
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
9144
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
9145
(Alexander Belchenko)
9147
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
9149
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
9152
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
9153
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
9154
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
9155
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
9156
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
9157
(John Arbash Meinel)
9159
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
9160
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
9161
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
9162
grained analysis of performance.
9163
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9165
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
9166
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
9168
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
9169
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
9170
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
9171
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
9172
file. (Robert Collins).
9174
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
9175
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
9176
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
9178
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
9179
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
9182
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
9183
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
9185
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
9186
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
9187
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
9188
the same way you would apply another branch.
9189
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
9191
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
9192
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
9194
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
9197
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
9200
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
9201
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
9202
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
9204
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
9205
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
9206
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
9208
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
9209
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
9211
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9212
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9213
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9214
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9215
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9217
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9218
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9220
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9221
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9222
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9223
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9224
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9225
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9226
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9227
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9229
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9230
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9231
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9236
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9238
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9240
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9241
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9243
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9244
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9246
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9247
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9249
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9251
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9252
(John Arbash Meinel)
9254
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9255
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9257
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9258
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9261
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9262
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9264
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9265
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9267
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9268
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9269
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9270
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9272
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9273
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9275
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9277
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9278
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9280
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9282
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9284
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9285
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9287
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9288
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9290
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9291
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9292
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9294
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9295
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9296
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9298
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9299
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9301
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9302
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9304
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9305
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9307
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9308
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9310
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9311
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9313
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9314
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9315
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9317
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9319
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9320
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9325
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9326
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9327
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9329
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9330
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9332
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9333
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9334
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9336
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9337
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9339
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9340
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9343
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9344
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9345
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9347
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9348
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9349
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9351
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9352
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9353
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9355
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9356
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9357
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9359
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9360
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9361
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9363
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9364
instead. (Robert Collins)
9366
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

9390
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9392
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9393
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9394
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9399
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9401
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9402
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9404
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9409
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9410
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9411
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9412
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)

* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
9432
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
9440
********************
9442
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9443
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9444
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9445
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9446
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9447
will keep the same format.
9449
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9450
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9451
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9452
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9453
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9455
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9456
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9457
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9458
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9459
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9460
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9461
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9463
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9464
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9465
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9466
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9467
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9469
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9470
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9471
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9478
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9479
convention. Paths now take the form::
9481
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9483
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9485
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9486
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9488
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9489
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9490
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9492
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9493
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9494
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9495
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9497
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9498
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9499
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9501
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9503
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9505
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9506
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9509
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9510
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9513
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9515
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9516
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9517
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9520
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9522
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9524
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9527
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9528
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9530
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9531
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9534
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9535
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9538
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9540
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9542
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9543
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9545
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9546
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9547
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9548
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9549
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9550
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9552
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9554
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9555
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9558
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9559
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9561
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9562
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9564
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9566
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9567
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9568
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9569
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9570
specification by Martin Pool.
9571
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9573
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9576
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9577
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9579
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9580
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9581
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9583
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9585
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9586
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9592
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9593
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9595
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9597
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9599
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9602
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9603
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9604
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9605
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9610
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9611
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9612
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9613
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9615
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9616
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9617
tried. (Martin Pool)
9619
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9622
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9624
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9625
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9626
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9628
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9629
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9631
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9632
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9633
paths. (Robert Collins)
9635
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9636
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9637
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9639
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9640
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9641
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9643
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9644
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9645
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9647
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9650
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9653
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9655
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9657
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9658
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9659
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9662
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9663
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9665
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9666
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9667
check. (Robert Collins)
9669
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9670
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9675
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9676
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9678
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9679
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9680
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9681
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9683
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9684
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9685
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9686
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9687
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9689
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9690
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9691
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9693
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9695
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9696
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
9701
:Released: 2006-01-09
9706
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9707
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9709
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9710
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9711
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9714
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9715
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9717
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9718
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9719
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9720
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9721
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9723
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9724
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9725
used. (Robert Collins)
9727
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9728
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9731
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9732
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9733
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9735
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9738
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9739
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9744
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9745
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9747
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9749
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9751
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9752
tree. (Robert Collins)
9754
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9755
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9756
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9759
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9762
* Tweaks to short log printing
9764
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9767
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9768
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9770
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9771
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9773
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9774
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9776
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9777
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9778
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9780
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9781
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9783
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9784
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9787
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9788
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9790
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9791
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9793
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9794
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9796
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9799
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9800
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9802
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9803
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9805
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9806
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9807
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9812
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9814
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9816
* Error when run with -OO
9818
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9821
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9823
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9825
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9826
ignored by diff and status
9828
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9829
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9831
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9833
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9835
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9836
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9838
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9839
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9841
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9844
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9845
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9847
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9849
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9850
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9852
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9855
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9856
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9858
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9863
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9864
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9866
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9868
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9870
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9872
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9873
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9874
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9876
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9878
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9879
(John Arbash Meinel)
9881
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9883
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9884
If adding a new test script please add that to
9885
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9887
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9888
imported. (Martin Pool)
9890
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9891
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9892
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9893
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9894
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9897
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9898
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9899
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9901
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9902
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9903
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9905
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9906
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9907
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9908
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9909
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9912
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9913
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9919
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9920
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9922
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9923
function. (Robert Collins)
9925
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9926
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9927
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9929
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9930
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9933
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9934
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9935
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9936
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9937
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9938
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9939
version. (Robert Collins)
9941
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9942
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9944
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9945
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9946
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9947
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9948
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9949
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9951
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9954
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9964
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9966
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9968
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9971
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9972
query method. (Robert Collins)
9974
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9977
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9980
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9983
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9984
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9985
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9986
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9988
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9989
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9990
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9991
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9993
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9994
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9999
:Released: 2005-10-28
10004
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
10007
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
10011
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
10012
a separator, not ':'.
10015
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
10016
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
10017
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
10019
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10020
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
10023
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
10024
has been added that suppresses all output.
10026
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
10029
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
10030
Goffredo Baroncelli.
10032
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
10033
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
10035
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
10036
a revision. (Robert Collins)
10038
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
10039
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
10040
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
10041
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
10043
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
10045
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
10046
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
10048
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
10049
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
10051
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
10052
output directory, if one was supplied.
10054
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
10055
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
10056
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
10057
parameters. (Robert Collins)
10059
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
10061
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
10062
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
10064
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
10065
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
10066
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
10068
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
10069
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
10071
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
10074
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
10076
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
10081
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10082
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10083
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10085
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10086
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10087
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10089
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10090
is given. (Martin Pool)
10092
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10093
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10094
file. (Robert Collins)
10096
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10102
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10103
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10104
representation. (Martin Pool).
10106
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10107
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10108
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10110
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10113
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10114
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
10117
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10118
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
10119
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
10120
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
10121
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
10123
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
10124
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
10125
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
10126
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
10127
python path. (Robert Collins)
10129
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
10130
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
10131
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
10132
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
10134
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
10135
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
10137
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
10138
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
10141
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
10142
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
10143
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
10145
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
10146
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
10147
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
10149
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10150
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10152
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
10153
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
10154
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
10157
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
10158
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
10159
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
10160
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
10163
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
10166
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
10167
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
10170
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
10171
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
10172
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
10174
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
10175
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
10176
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
10178
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
10179
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
10180
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
10182
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10183
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10185
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
10186
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
10187
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
10188
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
10189
caller. (Robert Collins)
10191
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
10192
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
10195
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
10196
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
10199
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
10201
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
10202
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
10207
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
10208
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
10210
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
10211
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
10217
:Released: 2005-10-12
10222
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10223
allow directories to be listed.
10225
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10226
upgrading branch format.
10231
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10237
:Released: 2005-10-11
10242
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10243
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10244
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10245
high-latency connections.
10250
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10253
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10254
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10256
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10257
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10258
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10259
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10261
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10262
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10264
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10265
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10267
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10268
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10269
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10271
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10272
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10273
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10276
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10277
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10279
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10280
different partial views of history.
10282
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10283
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10288
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10289
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10290
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10292
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10293
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10296
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10297
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10299
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10302
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10303
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10305
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10306
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10307
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10308
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10310
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10312
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10313
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10316
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10317
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10319
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10320
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10321
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10327
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10328
for your viewing pleasure.
10330
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10331
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10333
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10334
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10335
handling of such circumstances.
10337
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10338
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10339
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10341
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10343
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10344
we call them revisions not patches.
10346
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10347
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10349
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10350
giving the revision *of that file*.
10352
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10353
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10354
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10359
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10360
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10362
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10363
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
10369
:Released: 2005-09-23
10374
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10376
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10379
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10381
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10383
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10384
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10389
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10390
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10392
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10393
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10394
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10395
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10398
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10399
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10404
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10406
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10407
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10413
:Released: 2005-09-20
10419
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10420
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10421
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10422
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10425
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10428
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10429
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10430
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10431
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10432
for the operating system is still tried.
10434
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10435
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10436
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10442
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10447
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10449
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10452
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
10459
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
10461
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
10472
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10473
help with intelligent shell completion.
10475
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10481
* Much better merge support.
10483
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10484
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10491
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10492
mention revisions that are not present.
10494
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10496
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10498
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10499
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10505
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10507
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10508
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10515
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10516
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
10524
:Released: 2005-08-18
10529
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10530
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10532
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10534
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10535
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10537
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10540
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10542
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10545
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10546
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10548
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10549
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10550
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10556
* Faster working tree operations.
10562
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10563
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10564
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10565
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10567
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10568
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10569
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10570
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10571
standard plugins directory.
10573
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10574
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10575
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10576
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10578
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10579
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10581
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10584
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10585
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10586
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
10588
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10589
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10591
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10592
line options must come before the command name because they
10593
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10594
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10597
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10599
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
10600
is available with ``--short``.
10606
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

:Released: 2005-06-15
10617
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10618
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10620
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10621
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10622
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10623
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10625
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10626
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10627
with the ``--forward`` option.
10629
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10630
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10637
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10638
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
10640
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10642
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10643
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10645
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10647
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10648
either read or write mode.
10650
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10652
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10653
affected that file.
10655
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10657
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10658
suggested by LarstiQ.
10660
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10661
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10663
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10666
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10667
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
10669
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10670
haven't changed since the previous time.
10672
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10673
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
10675
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
10677
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
10679
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
10680
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
10682
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
10683
options through to an external GNU diff.
10685
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
10688
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
10695
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
10696
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
10698
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
10705
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
10706
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
10709
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
10710
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
10712
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
10713
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
10715
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
10716
under a different version.
10718
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
10724
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
10726
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10727
Scott James Remnant.
10729
* Better help messages for many commands.
10731
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
10732
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
10734
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
10735
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
10737
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
10739
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
10741
* New AtomicFile class.
10743
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
10749
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
10750
2.4 is now only recommended.

10761
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
10762
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
10764
* More default ignore patterns.
10766
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
10767
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
10769
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
10771
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
10774
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
10780
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
10781
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
10782
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
10783
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
10784
there are DNS problems.
10786
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
10792
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
10794
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
10796
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
10797
trailing newlines properly.
10803
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
10806
* More tests in test.sh.
10808
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
10809
directory and delete it when done.
10811
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
10817
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
10820
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
10827

10835
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
10837
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
10840
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
10843
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
10845
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
10850
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
10851
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
10857
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
10858
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
10864
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
10869
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
10878
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

10890
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
10892
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
10893
rather than replacing it.
10895
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
10897
* More help topics.
10899
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
10902
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
10903
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
10905
* Performance improvements.
10907
* New global --profile option.
10909
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
10910
the root directory only.

* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
10926
committing to stores.
10928
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
10933
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
