:Codename: san francisco airport
22
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
23
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
24
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
26
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
27
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (Once all the patches
28
have landed, remove this line.) (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 2.0.3 (not released yet)
47
############################
60
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (BenoƮt PIERRE)
62
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
69
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)

:Codename: after sprint recovery
88
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
89
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
90
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
91
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
93
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
94
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
95
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
96
formats for Remote objects.
102
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
103
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
108
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (BenoƮt PIERRE)
110
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
111
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
113
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
115
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
116
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
117
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
118
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
119
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
120
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
122
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
123
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
124
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
125
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
127
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
128
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
130
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
131
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
137
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
142
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
143
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
145
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
146
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
148
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
149
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
151
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
152
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
153
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
154
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
156
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
157
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
159
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
160
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
161
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
162
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
164
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
165
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
166
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
167
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
174
:Codename: a load off my mind
177
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
178
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
180
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
181
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
182
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
183
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
184
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
190
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
191
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
193
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
194
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
195
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
196
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
198
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
199
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
201
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
202
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
203
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
204
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
206
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
207
files. (Aaron Bentley)
209
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
210
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
215
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
216
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
217
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
220
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
221
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
227
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
228
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
233
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
235
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
236
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
242
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
243
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
244
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
245
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
246
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
249
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
250
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
251
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
252
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
253
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
254
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
255
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
256
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
257
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
259
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
260
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
261
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
262
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
263
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
264
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
265
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
267
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
268
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
269
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
270
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
276
:Codename: after the scare
279
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
280
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
286
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
287
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
289
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
292
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
294
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
295
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
296
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
298
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
299
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
301
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
302
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
304
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
305
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
310
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
311
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
316
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
317
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
323
:Codename: While the cat is away
326
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
327
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
328
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
329
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
330
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
331
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
332
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
334
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
335
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
336
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
337
error handling during unlocking.
343
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
346
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
347
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
348
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
349
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
350
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
351
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
353
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
354
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
355
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
357
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
358
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
361
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
362
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
363
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
365
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
366
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
369
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
370
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
376
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
377
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
378
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
379
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
380
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
381
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
382
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
384
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
385
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
386
(Robert Collins, #3918)
388
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
389
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
390
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
393
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
394
merges are present in the working tree.
395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
397
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
398
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
400
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
401
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
403
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
406
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
407
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
410
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
411
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
413
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
414
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
416
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
419
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
420
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
421
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
426
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
427
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
428
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
430
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
431
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
432
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
433
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
434
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
435
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
436
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
437
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
439
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
440
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
441
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
442
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
443
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
448
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
450
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
451
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
456
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
457
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
459
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
460
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
462
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
463
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
464
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
466
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
469
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
470
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
471
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
472
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
473
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
477
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
483
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
484
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
487
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
488
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
489
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
492
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
493
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
499
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
500
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
502
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
503
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
505
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
506
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
509
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
511
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
513
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
514
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
516
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
517
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
518
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
520
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
521
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
522
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
523
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
524
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
526
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
527
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
529
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
530
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
536
:Codename: Stability First
539
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
540
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
541
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
547
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
548
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
549
(Robert Collins, #3918)
551
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
552
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
553
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
555
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
556
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
557
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
559
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
560
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
562
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
563
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
564
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
565
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
566
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
568
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
569
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
571
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
572
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
573
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
574
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
576
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
577
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
578
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
580
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
581
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
582
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
583
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
584
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
585
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
586
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
588
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
589
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
591
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
592
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
593
to download the entire cix file many times.
594
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
596
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
597
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
602
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
604
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
612
:Codename: Instant Karma
614
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
615
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
616
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
617
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
618
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
621
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
622
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
624
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
625
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
626
months or until the following stable release.
628
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
629
******************************
631
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
632
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
633
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
634
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
640
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
645
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
646
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
647
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
652
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
653
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
654
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
655
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
656
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
657
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
658
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
660
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
661
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
662
(Robert Collins, #416732)
664
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
665
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
667
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
668
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
669
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
671
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
672
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
674
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
675
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
676
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
677
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
678
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
679
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
680
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
682
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
683
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
684
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
685
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
686
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
687
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
689
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
690
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
691
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
693
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
694
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
695
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
697
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
698
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
699
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
701
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
702
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
704
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
705
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
706
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
707
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
712
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
714
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
716
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
717
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
719
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
720
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
721
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
723
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
724
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
725
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
727
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
728
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
734
:Codename: no worries
735
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
740
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
741
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
742
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
743
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
744
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
746
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
747
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
748
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
749
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
754
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
755
to the newly created branch. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
760
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
761
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
763
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
764
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
765
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
766
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
767
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
769
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
770
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
771
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
773
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
776
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
777
(Martin Pool, #286871)
779
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
780
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
781
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
783
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
784
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
785
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
786
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
791
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
792
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
793
(Martin Pool, #409137)
795
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
796
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
797
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
798
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
800
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
802
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
803
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
805
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
806
(Robert Collins, #305006)
808
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
809
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
810
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
812
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
813
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
814
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
815
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
816
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
817
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
822
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
828
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
829
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
830
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
838
:Codename: nein nein nein!
841
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
842
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
843
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
844
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
845
pushing to older servers.
850
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
851
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
852
(Martin Pool, #415508)
854
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
855
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
856
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
861
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
862
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
864
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
865
(Robert Collins, #305006)
870
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
871
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
872
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
874
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
875
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
876
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
878
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
879
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
880
should be used. (Robert Collins)
888
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
889
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
890
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
891
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
892
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
900
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
901
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
902
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
903
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
904
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
906
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
907
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
909
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
910
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
912
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
913
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
915
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
916
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
917
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
918
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
920
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
921
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
922
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
924
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
925
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
927
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
928
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
929
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
930
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
935
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
936
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
937
(Martin Pool, #409137)
939
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
940
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
941
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
942
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
943
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
945
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
946
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
947
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
959
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
960
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
961
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
962
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
963
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
964
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
966
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
967
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
968
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
969
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
971
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
972
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
973
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
974
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
977
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
978
protocols. (Robert Collins)
980
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
981
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
982
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
983
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
989
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
990
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
1000
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
1001
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
1002
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
1003
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
1004
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
1005
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
1007
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1008
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
1009
or until the following stable release.
1011
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
1016
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
1017
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
1019
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
1020
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
1021
(Martin Pool, #391411)
1026
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
1027
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
1028
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
1030
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
1031
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
1032
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
1033
(Martin Pool, #123688)
1035
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
1036
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
1037
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
1038
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
1040
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
1041
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
1043
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
1044
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
1045
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
1046
(Robert Collins, #282402)
1048
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
1049
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
1051
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
1052
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
1054
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
1055
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
1056
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
1057
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
1058
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
1060
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
1061
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
1062
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
1064
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
1065
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
1066
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
1067
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
1068
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
1070
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
1071
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
1073
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
1074
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
1075
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
1077
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
1078
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
1079
(Martin Pool, #408201)
1081
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
1082
(Martin Pool, #403523)
1084
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
1085
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
1086
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
1088
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
1089
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
1091
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
1092
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
1094
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
1095
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
1097
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
1098
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
1099
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
1101
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
1102
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
1103
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
1105
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1107
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
1108
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
1110
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
1111
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
1112
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
1113
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
1114
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
1115
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
1117
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1118
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1119
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1121
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
1122
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
1123
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
1124
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
1126
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
1127
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
1128
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
1129
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
1130
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
1132
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
1133
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
1134
(Robert Collins, #187207)
1139
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
1142
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
1143
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
1144
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
1145
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
1147
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
1148
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
1149
(John Arbash Meinel)
1154
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1159
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
1160
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
1161
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
1162
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
1163
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
1164
passwords. (Martin Pool)
1166
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
1169
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
1172
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
1176
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
1177
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
1182
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
1183
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
1184
paths. (Robert Collins)
1186
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
1187
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
1189
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
1190
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
1191
disk. (Robert Collins)
1193
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
1194
it. (Robert Collins)
1196
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
1197
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
1198
(Alexander Belchenko)
1204
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
1205
(Martin Pool, #409684)
1207
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
1208
(Martin Pool, #408199)
1210
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
1211
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
1212
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
1213
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
1214
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
1215
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
1218
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
1219
#######################
1224
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1225
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1226
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
1236
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
1237
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
1240
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
1241
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if

you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
1243
annoying progress bar artifacts.

*********************************
1249
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
1250
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
1251
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
1253
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
1254
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
1255
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
1257
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
1258
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
1261
Compatibility Breaks
1262
********************
1264
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
1265
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
1266
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
1267
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
1273
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1274
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
1275
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
1276
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
1278
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
1279
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
1280
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1282
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1283
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
1284
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
1286
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
1288
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
1289
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
1290
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
1291
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1297
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
1298
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
1300
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
1301
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
1302
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
1303
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
1305
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
1306
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
1308
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1309
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1310
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1312
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
1313
(Martin Pool, #321935)
1315
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
1316
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
1318
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
1319
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
1321
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
1322
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
1323
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
1325
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
1328
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
1329
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
1331
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
1332
of a remote repository.
1333
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
1335
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
1336
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
1339
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
1341
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
1343
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
1344
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
1346
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
1347
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1349
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1350
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1351
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1353
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1354
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1355
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1356
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1357
(John Arbash Meinel)
1359
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1360
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1361
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1363
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1364
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1365
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1366
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1367
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1368
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1370
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1371
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1372
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1373
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1374
activity display respectively.
1375
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1377
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1378
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1380
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1383
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
1384
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
1390
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
1391
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
1392
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
1393
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
1395
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
1396
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
1397
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
1398
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
1401
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
1402
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
1404
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
1405
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
1406
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
1407
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
1408
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
1409
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1411
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
1412
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
1413
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
1414
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
1416
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
1417
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
1418
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
1419
(John Arbash Meinel)
1422
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
1423
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
1424
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
1425
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
1431
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
1432
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
1433
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
1434
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1436
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
1437
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
1438
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
1440
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
1443
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
1444
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
1446
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
1447
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
1448
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1450
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
1451
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
1452
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
1453
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1455
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
1461
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
1462
formatting in the user reference.
1463
(Martin Pool, #249908)
1465
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
1471
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
1474
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
1475
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
1476
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
1482
:Released: 2009-06-26
1484
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1485
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1486
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1489
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1490
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1491
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1493
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1494
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1499
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1500
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1502
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1503
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1504
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1506
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1507
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1508
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1509
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1510
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1511
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1512
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1514
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1515
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1516
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1518
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1519
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1520
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1522
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1523
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1524
that. (Robert Collins)
1526
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1527
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1528
repository. (Robert Collins)
1530
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1531
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1532
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1533
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
1543
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
1544
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1545
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1546
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
1548
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
1549
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
1550
bug fixes and improvements.
1553
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1554
*********************************
1556
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1557
2a can work correctly.
1558
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1560
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1561
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1562
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1565
Compatibility Breaks
1566
********************
1568
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1569
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1576
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1577
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1578
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1579
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1580
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1581
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1584
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1585
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1586
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1587
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1589
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1590
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1592
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1593
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1595
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1596
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1597
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1599
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1600
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1606
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1607
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1608
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1610
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1611
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1612
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1613
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1614
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1616
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1617
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1618
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1619
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1621
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1622
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1628
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1629
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1630
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1631
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1637
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1638
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1640
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1641
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1643
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1644
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1645
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1647
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1648
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1650
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1651
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1652
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1654
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1655
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1656
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1657
(John Arbash Meinel)
1659
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1660
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1662
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1663
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1665
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1666
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1668
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1669
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1670
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1671
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1672
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1673
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1675
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1677
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1678
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1680
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1681
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1683
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1684
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1685
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1686
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1687
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1689
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1690
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1691
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1692
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1697
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1698
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1699
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1704
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1706
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1707
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1708
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1710
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1711
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1712
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1714
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1715
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1717
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1718
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1723
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1724
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1729
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
1730
(Martin Pool, #386180)
1732
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1734
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1736
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
1741
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
1745
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1746
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1747
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1748
revisions introduce the exact same line.
1750
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
1751
*****************************
1753
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
1754
(Alexander Belchenko)
1756
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1757
*********************************
1759
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1760
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1761
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1762
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1764
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
1765
*********************************
1769
Compatibility Breaks
1770
********************
1772
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1773
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1774
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1775
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1780
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1781
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1784
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1785
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1786
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1787
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1789
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1790
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1791
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1792
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1794
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1795
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1798
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1799
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1800
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1805
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1806
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1808
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1809
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1811
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1812
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1813
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1815
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1820
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1821
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1823
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1825
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1826
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1828
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1829
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1831
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1832
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1834
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1835
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1836
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1837
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1839
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1842
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1843
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1845
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1846
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1848
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1849
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1851
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1852
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1854
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1855
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1857
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1858
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1860
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1861
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1862
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1863
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1864
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1865
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1866
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1867
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1868
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1869
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1870
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1871
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1872
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1873
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1875
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1876
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1877
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1879
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1880
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1888
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1889
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1890
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1892
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1893
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1894
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1895
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1896
(Alexander Belchenko)
1901
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1902
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1903
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1905
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1906
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1909
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1910
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1911
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1912
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1913
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1915
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1916
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1917
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1919
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1920
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1921
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1922
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1924
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1925
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1926
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1928
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1929
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1931
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1932
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1933
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1934
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1936
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1937
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1938
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1940
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1941
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1943
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1944
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1945
branches. (Robert Collins)
1947
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1948
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1950
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1955
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1956
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

2006
Compatibility Breaks
2007
********************
2009
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
2010
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
2011
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
2012
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
2013
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2015
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
2016
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
2017
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
2019
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
2020
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
2021
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
2022
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
2023
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2028
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
2029
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
2030
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
2031
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
2032
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
2035
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
2038
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
2039
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2041
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
2042
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
2043
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
2044
directory, not just the directory object itself.
2045
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
2047
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
2048
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
2050
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
2053
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
2054
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
2055
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
2056
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
2059
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
2060
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
2061
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
2062
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
2063
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2065
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
2066
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
2069
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
2075
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
2076
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
2077
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
2079
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
2080
the data when the target repository does not need topological
2081
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
2082
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
2083
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2085
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
2086
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
2089
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
2090
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
2091
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
2093
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
2096
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
2099
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
2100
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2102
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2103
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2105
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
2106
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
2108
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
2109
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
2112
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
2113
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
2114
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2116
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
2117
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
2118
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
2121
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
2122
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
2123
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
2124
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
2126
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
2127
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
2128
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
2129
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
2130
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
2131
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
2132
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
2133
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
2134
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2136
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
2142
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2143
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2144
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2145
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2146
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2147
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2148
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2150
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2151
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2153
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
2154
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
2155
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
2156
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
2158
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
2159
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
2161
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
2163
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2166
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2167
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2168
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2170
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2171
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2173
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
2174
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
2176
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
2177
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
2178
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
2180
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
2181
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
2182
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
2183
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2185
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2187
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
2188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
2190
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
2191
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
2192
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
2193
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
2194
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
2196
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2197
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2198
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2199
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2200
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2201
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2202
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2204
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
2205
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
2207
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
2208
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
2211
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
2212
(James Westby, #341558)
2214
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
2215
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
2217
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
2218
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
2223
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
2225
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
2227
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
2228
(James Westby, #336998)
2233
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
2236
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
2237
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
2240
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
2241
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
2244
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
2245
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
2246
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
2248
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
2249
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
2250
Meinel, Robert Collins)
2252
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
2253
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
2254
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
2255
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
2258
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
2259
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
2262
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
2265
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
2266
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2268
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2269
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2270
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2271
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2273
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
2274
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
2275
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
2280
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
2281
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
2282
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
2283
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
2284
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2286
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
2287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
2289
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
2290
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
2291
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
2292
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
2298
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
2299
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2301
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
2302
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2304
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
2305
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
2306
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2308
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
2309
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
2310
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
2311
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2313
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
2314
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
2315
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
2316
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2318
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
2319
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
2320
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2322
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
2323
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
2324
dependency. (Robert Collins)
2326
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
2327
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
2328
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2330
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
2331
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
2334
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
2335
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
2336
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
2338
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
2339
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2341
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
2342
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
2343
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2345
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
2346
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
2349
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
2350
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2351
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2353
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2354
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2355
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2356
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2357
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2359
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2360
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2361
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2362
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2364
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2365
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2366
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2367
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2369
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2370
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2371
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2373
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2374
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2377
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2378
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2379
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2381
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2382
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2383
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
2384
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
2385
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
2387
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
2388
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
2389
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
2392
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
2393
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
2394
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
2395
desired. (Robert Collins)
2397
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
2398
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
2399
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
2400
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2402
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
2403
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
2404
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
2421
*****************************
2423
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
2424
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
2425
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
2426
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
2427
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
2428
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
2434
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
2435
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
2436
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2438
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
2439
********************************
2441
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
2442
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
2443
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
2448
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
2449
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
2451
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
2452
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
2454
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
2455
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
2457
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2459
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
2460
*********************************
2462
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2463
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2464
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2466
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2467
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2469
Compatibility Breaks
2470
********************
2472
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
2473
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
2474
command may need to be adjusted.
2475
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2480
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2481
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2482
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2484
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2487
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2488
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2489
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2492
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2493
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2495
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2496
(John Arbash Meinel)
2498
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2499
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2501
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
2503
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2504
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2507
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2513
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2514
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2515
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2516
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2517
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2518
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2519
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2520
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2523
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2524
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2526
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2527
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
2528
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
2530
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2531
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2533
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2534
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2535
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2538
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2539
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2540
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2542
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2543
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2544
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2545
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2547
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2550
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2551
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2553
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2554
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2556
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2557
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2558
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2560
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2565
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2566
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2568
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2569
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2570
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2572
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2573
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2576
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2577
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2579
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2580
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2583
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2584
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2585
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2587
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2588
(BenoƮt PIERRE, #303569)
2590
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2591
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2593
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2594
(James Westby, #174539)
2596
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2597
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2599
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2600
error branching from old repositories.
2601
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2603
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2604
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2606
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2607
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2608
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2609
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2611
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2612
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2615
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2616
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2618
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2619
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2621
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2622
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2623
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2625
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2626
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2628
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2629
(BenoƮt Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2634
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2635
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2636
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2639
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2640
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2642
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2643
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2648
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2649
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2650
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2651
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2652
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2654
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2655
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2657
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2658
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2659
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2660
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2661
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2662
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2664
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2665
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2667
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2668
"author" argument being deprecated.
2670
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2672
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2673
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2674
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2675
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2677
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2678
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2679
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2681
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2682
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2683
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2685
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2686
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2688
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2689
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2690
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2691
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2696
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2697
free of virtual file system methods.
2698
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2700
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2701
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2702
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2704
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2705
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2706
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2707
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2708
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2709
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2711
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2713
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2714
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2716
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2717
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2718
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2719
stream the operation.
2720
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2722
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2723
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2725
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2726
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2727
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2728
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2729
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2731
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2732
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2734
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2735
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2736
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2738
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2739
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2742
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2745
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2746
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2747
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2749
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2750
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2751
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2753
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2754
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2755
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2757
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2758
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2759
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2761
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2762
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2763
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2764
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2765
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2767
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2768
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2769
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2770
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2771
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2772
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2774
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2775
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2776
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2777
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2778
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2780
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2781
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2783
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2784
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2786
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2787
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2788
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2789
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2790
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2792
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2793
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

2804
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2805
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2806
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2807
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2808
by showing the rate of network IO.
2810
Changes from RC1 to Final
2811
*************************
2813
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2814
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2816
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2817
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2819
Compatibility Breaks
2820
********************
2822
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2823
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2824
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2825
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2827
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2828
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2829
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2832
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2833
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2834
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2835
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2837
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2838
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2839
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2842
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2847
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2848
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2849
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2852
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2853
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2854
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2856
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2857
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2858
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2859
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2860
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2861
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2862
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2863
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2864
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2870
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2873
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2876
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2877
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2878
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2880
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2881
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2882
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2883
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2884
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2886
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2887
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2889
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2890
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2891
level for better precision.
2894
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2895
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2897
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2898
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2899
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2901
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2902
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2903
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2906
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2907
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2908
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2913
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2915
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2917
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2918
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2919
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2921
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2922
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2923
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2924
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2925
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2926
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2928
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2929
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2931
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2932
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2934
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2935
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2936
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2938
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2939
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2940
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2943
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2944
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2946
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2947
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2948
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2949
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2951
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2952
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2954
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2956
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2961
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2966
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2967
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2970
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2971
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2973
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2974
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2976
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2977
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2979
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2980
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2981
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2982
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2984
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2985
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2986
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2991
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2992
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2993
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2994
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2995
compile buffers, are such an example).
2998
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2999
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
3002
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
3003
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
3004
efficient way of doing the mapping.
3007
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
3008
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
3010
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
3011
formatters to retrict the output.

:Released: 2009-01-19
3021
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
3022
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
3023
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
3024
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
3025
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
3027
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
3028
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
3031
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
3032
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
3037
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
3040
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

:Released: 2009-01-09
3054
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
3055
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3060
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
3061
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
3063
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
3064
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
3065
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
3066
implement other plugins.
3069
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
3075
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
3076
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
3078
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
3079
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
3081
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
3082
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
3083
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
3084
processes which drag in shell extensions.
3087
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
3088
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
3089
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
3090
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
3091
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
3093
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
3094
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
3095
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
3096
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
3097
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
3102
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
3103
control directory. (#139691)
3105
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
3106
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
3108
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
3109
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
3111
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
3112
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
3113
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
3115
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
3116
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
3118
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
3119
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3120
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3122
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
3123
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
3125
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
3128
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
3129
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
3130
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
3132
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
3133
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
3135
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
3136
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
3137
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
3139
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
3140
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
3141
in the appropriate sections.
3142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
3144
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
3145
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
3146
(John Arbash meinel)
3148
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
3149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
3151
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
3152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
3154
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
3155
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3157
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
3158
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
3159
work better with how it splits its requests.
3160
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
3162
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3163
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3164
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3166
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
3169
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
3171
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
3172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
3174
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
3180
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
3181
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
3182
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
3188
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
3189
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
3190
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
3191
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3193
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
3194
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
3196
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
3197
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
3198
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
3199
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
3201
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
3202
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
3203
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
3204
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3209
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
3210
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
3211
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
3213
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
3214
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
3215
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
3216
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
3218
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
3219
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
3220
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
3226
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
3227
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
3228
(John Arbash Meinel)
3230
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
3231
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
3232
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
3233
(John Arbash Meinel)
3235
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
3236
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
3237
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
3238
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
3240
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
3241
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
3242
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
3244
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
3245
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
3246
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
3247
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
3249
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
3250
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
3251
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
3252
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
3253
(John Arbash Meinel)
3255
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
3256
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
3258
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
3259
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
3260
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
3262
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
3263
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
3264
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
3265
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
3267
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
3268
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3269
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3270
(John Arbash Meinel)
3272
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
3273
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
3274
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
3275
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
3276
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
3277
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
3278
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3280
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
3281
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
3288
:Released: 2008-12-05
3290
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
3291
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
3292
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
3293
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
3296
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
3301
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
3302
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
3303
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
3304
(Martin Pool, #303856)
3306
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
3307
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
3308
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
3309
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
3310
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
3316
:Released: 2008-11-28
3318
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
3319
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
3320
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
3321
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
3322
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
3327
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
3328
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3330
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
3336
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
3337
history just to set the last revision info.
3338
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3340
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
3341
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
3342
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
3343
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3345
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
3346
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
3347
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
3348
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
3349
(John Arbash Meinel)
3351
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3352
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3354
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3355
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3356
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3357
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3358
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3360
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3361
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3362
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3363
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3368
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3369
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3371
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3372
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3374
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3375
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3376
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3377
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3379
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3380
starting with a dotted revno.
3381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3383
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
3384
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
3385
(Martin Pool, #288751)
3387
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3388
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3389
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3391
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
3392
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
3393
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
3395
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
3396
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
3397
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
3398
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
3400
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
3401
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
3402
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
3404
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
3405
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
3410
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
3411
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
3412
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
3413
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
3415
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
3416
have changed incompatibly.
3418
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
3419
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
3420
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
3421
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
3422
don't need to change.
3424
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
3425
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
3430
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
3431
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
3433
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
3439
:Released: 2008-11-07
3441
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
3442
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
3443
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
3444
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
3445
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
3446
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
3451
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
3452
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
3454
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
3456
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
3457
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

:Released: 2008-10-31
3469
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
3470
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
3472
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
3473
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
3474
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
3475
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
3480
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3481
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3482
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3483
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3484
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3485
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3487
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3488
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3490
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3491
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3492
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3494
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3495
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3496
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3499
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3500
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3502
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3503
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3505
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3506
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3508
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3509
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3510
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3511
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3512
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3513
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3514
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3515
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3516
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3517
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3522
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3523
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3525
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3526
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3528
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3529
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3530
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3532
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3533
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3534
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3536
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3537
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3538
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3540
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3541
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3542
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3543
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3544
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3545
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3547
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3548
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3550
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3551
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3553
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3554
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3555
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3556
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3557
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3559
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3560
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3561
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3562
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3567
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3572
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3577
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3578
configuration of authetication credentials.
3584
:Released: 2008-10-16
3586
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3587
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3588
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3589
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3590
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3595
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3596
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3601
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3602
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3608
:Released: 2008-10-07
3613
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3614
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3615
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3616
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3617
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3619
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3620
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3622
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3623
server. (Marius Kruger)
3625
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3626
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3627
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3628
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3629
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3630
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3635
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3636
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3637
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3644
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3645
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3646
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3647
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3649
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3650
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3653
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3654
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3657
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3660
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3662
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3663
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3665
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3666
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3668
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3669
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3670
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3671
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3672
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3673
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3674
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3675
operations. (Robert Collins)
3677
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3679
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3680
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3681
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3686
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3687
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3688
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3690
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3691
repository now preserves the repository format.
3692
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3694
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3697
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3698
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3700
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3704
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3707
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3708
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3709
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3711
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3712
is in a different repository than the current one.
3713
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #144421)
3715
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3716
(David Futcher, #242106)
3718
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3719
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3721
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3722
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3723
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3724
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3726
* Trivial documentation fix.
3727
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3729
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3730
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3731
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3732
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3737
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3742
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3743
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3744
to use. (Robert Collins)
3746
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3747
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3748
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3750
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3751
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3752
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3753
they want. (Robert Collins)
3758
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3759
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3760
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3762
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3763
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3766
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3769
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3770
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3772
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3778
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3779
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3781
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3782
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3783
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3785
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3786
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3787
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3789
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3790
specifier as a revision tree object. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
3792
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3793
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3795
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3796
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3798
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3799
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3800
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3801
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
3809
:Released: 2008-10-01
3811
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
3817
:Released: 2008-09-24
3819
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3820
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3825
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3826
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3827
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3828
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
3829
(John Arbash Meinel)
3835
:Released: 2008-09-23
3837
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3838
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3839
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3840
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3841
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3842
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3847
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
3848
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
3849
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
3855
:Released: 2008-09-17
3857
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3858
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3859
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3860
connect to the stacked-on location.
3865
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3866
repository now preserves the repository format.
3867
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3869
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3870
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3872
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3875
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3882
:Released: 2008-09-09
3884
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3885
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3886
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3887
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3888
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3889
it in a future repository format.
3895
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3898
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3899
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3900
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #74101)
3902
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3903
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3904
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3909
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3910
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3912
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3917
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3918
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3921
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3922
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3924
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3925
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3928
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3929
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3930
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3931
(John Arbash Meinel)
3933
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3934
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3936
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3937
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3938
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3939
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3940
(John Arbash Meinel)
3942
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3943
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3944
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3945
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3946
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3947
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3948
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3949
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3950
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3951
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3956
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3957
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3959
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3960
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3961
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3963
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3964
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3965
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3967
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3968
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3969
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3970
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3971
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3972
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3974
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3975
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3977
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3978
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3980
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3981
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3982
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3983
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3984
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3985
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3987
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3988
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3990
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3991
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3993
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3994
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3995
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3996
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3998
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3999
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
4001
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
4002
assuming the host name is ascii.
4003
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
4005
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
4006
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
4011
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4016
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
4018
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
4019
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
4020
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
4023
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
4024
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4026
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
4027
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4029
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
4030
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4035
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
4036
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
4037
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
4038
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
4040
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
4044
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
4045
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
4046
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4048
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
4054
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
4055
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
4058
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
4059
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
4060
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
4061
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
4062
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4064
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
4065
is unknown in both source and target.
4066
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
4068
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
4069
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
4070
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
4071
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4073
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
4074
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
4075
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
4076
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

4084
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
4085
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
4086
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
4092
:Released: 2008-09-03
4097
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
4098
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
4099
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
4100
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
4106
:Released: 2008-08-29
4108
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
4109
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
4110
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
4111
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
4112
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
4113
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
4114
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
4115
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
4116
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
4117
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
4118
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
4119
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
4124
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
4125
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
4126
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
4127
start of the string (causing more copies).
4128
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
4129
especially for projects with large files.
4130
(John Arbash Meinel)
4132
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
4133
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
4134
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
4135
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
4136
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
4138
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
4139
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
4140
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
4141
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
4142
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

4151
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
4152
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
4153
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
4154
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
4155
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
4156
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
4157
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
4158
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
4159
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
4165
:Released: 2008-08-19
4170
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
4171
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
4172
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
4173
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
4174
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
4180
:Released: 2008-08-18
4185
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
4186
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
4187
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
4193
:Released: 2008-08-14
4198
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
4199
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
4205
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
4206
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
4207
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
4213
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
4214
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
4215
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
4217
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
4218
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
4219
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
4220
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
4221
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
4222
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
4223
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
4229
:Released: 2008-08-13
4231
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
4237
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
4238
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
4240
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
4241
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
4244
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
4245
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
4246
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
4247
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
4248
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
4250
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
4251
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4253
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
4254
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
4256
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
4257
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
4259
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
4260
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
4261
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
4262
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
4263
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
4264
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
4270
:Released: 2008-08-06
4272
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
4273
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
4274
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
4275
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
4276
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
4281
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
4282
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
4283
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
4288
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
4289
check. (Daniel Watkins)
4291
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
4292
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
4294
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
4295
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
4296
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4298
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
4301
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
4302
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
4303
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
4304
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
4305
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
4306
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
4307
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4309
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
4310
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
4311
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
4316
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
4317
physical repository boundaries.
4318
(Martin Pool, #252428)
4320
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
4321
(Martin Pool, #206258)
4323
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
4324
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
4327
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
4330
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
4331
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
4332
that Python is running from.
4333
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
4335
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
4336
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
4337
(Robert Collins, #150438)
4339
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
4340
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
4342
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
4343
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
4344
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
4346
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
4347
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
4349
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
4350
(James Westby, #248448)
4355
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4356
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4357
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4360
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4361
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4364
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4365
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4366
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4367
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4368
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4369
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4372
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4373
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4375
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4376
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4377
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4378
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4379
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4380
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
4385
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
4386
putting together a real history without having to create a full
4387
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
4388
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
4389
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
4390
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4392
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
4393
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
4394
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
4396
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
4399
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
4400
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
4402
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
4409
:Released: 2008-07-17
4411
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
4412
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
4413
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
4414
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
4420
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
4421
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
4422
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
4424
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
4425
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
4426
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
4427
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
4428
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
4431
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
4433
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
4434
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
4435
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
4441
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
4442
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
4445
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
4446
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
4447
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
4448
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
4450
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
4451
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
4452
(Christophe Troestler)
4454
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
4455
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
4457
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
4458
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
4459
faster. The new request method name is
4460
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4465
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
4466
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
4467
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
4468
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
4469
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
4471
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
4472
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
4474
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
4475
requires a branch to be present.
4476
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
4478
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
4480
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4482
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4483
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4484
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4485
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4487
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4488
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4490
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4492
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4494
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4495
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4496
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4497
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4498
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4500
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4501
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4503
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4504
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4506
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4508
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4510
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4511
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4513
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4514
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4519
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4522
* Updated developer documentation.
4528
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4529
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4531
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4532
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4533
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4534
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4539
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4540
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4541
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4542
Repository docstring for more details.
4545
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4546
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4547
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4549
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4550
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4553
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4554
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4555
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4556
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4561
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4562
(Alexander Belchenko)
4564
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4565
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4566
containing a given location.
4569
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4570
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4571
storage. (Robert Collins)
4573
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4576
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4577
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
4584
:Released: 2008-06-10
4586
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
4587
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
4588
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
4594
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
4595
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
4596
reading from the repository.)
4597
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
4599
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4600
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4602
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4603
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4606
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4607
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4608
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4610
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4611
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4612
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4614
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4615
``bzr send``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #210218)
4617
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4618
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4619
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4620
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4625
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4627
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4628
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4629
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4632
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4633
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4638
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4643
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4644
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4649
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4650
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4651
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4652
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4653
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4655
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4656
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4661
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4662
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4664
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4665
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4670
:Released: 2008-06-02
4672
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4673
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4674
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4675
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4676
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4677
and future extensions.
4680
Notes When Upgrading
4681
********************
4683
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4684
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4685
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4686
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4687
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4688
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4689
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4690
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4695
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4696
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4697
(John Arbash Meinel)
4702
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4703
load. (James Westby)
4708
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4709
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4710
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4711
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4713
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4714
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4715
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4717
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4718
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4720
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4721
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4722
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4724
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4725
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4726
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4727
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4728
step closer to not using full revision history.
4729
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4734
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4735
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4737
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4738
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4740
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4741
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4743
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4744
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4745
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4746
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4748
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4749
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4750
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4751
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4753
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4754
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4755
in use by another process.
4758
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4759
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4760
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4761
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4763
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4764
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4766
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4767
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4770
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4771
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4774
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4778
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4779
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4781
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4782
under vim on Mac OS X.
4783
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4785
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4786
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4791
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4792
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4794
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4795
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4798
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4799
and about use of Python reprs.
4800
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4802
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4807
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4810
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4811
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4813
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4814
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4819
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4820
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4821
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4822
(John Arbash Meinel)
4827
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4828
instead. (Martin Pool)
4830
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4831
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4832
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4833
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4835
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4836
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4837
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4838
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4839
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4841
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4842
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4843
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4844
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4845
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4846
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4848
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4849
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4852
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4853
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4856
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4857
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4858
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4859
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4861
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4862
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4863
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4865
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4866
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4867
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4868
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4869
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4872
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4873
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4874
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4875
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4878
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4879
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4880
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4881
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4882
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4884
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4891
:Released: 2008-05-16
4893
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4894
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4895
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4900
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4901
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4902
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4907
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4908
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4915
:Released: 2008-05-09
4920
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4921
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4922
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4923
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4928
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4929
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4931
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4932
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4934
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4940
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4943
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4944
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4946
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4947
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4948
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4950
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4951
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4952
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4954
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4957
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4958
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4960
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4961
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4963
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4964
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4966
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4967
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4969
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4970
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4973
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4974
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4976
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4977
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4979
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4980
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4981
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4982
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4984
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4985
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4988
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4989
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4990
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4992
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4993
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4994
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4995
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4996
every revision each side had in common.
4997
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4999
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
5000
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5002
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
5003
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
5004
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
5005
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
5010
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
5011
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
5012
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
5013
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
5015
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
5017
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
5019
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
5020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
5025
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
5026
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
5027
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
5029
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
5030
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
5031
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
5032
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5034
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
5035
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5037
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
5038
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
5039
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
5040
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5042
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
5043
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
5044
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
5045
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5050
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
5051
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
5052
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
5054
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
5056
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
5057
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
5059
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5060
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5062
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
5063
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
5068
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
5069
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
5070
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
5072
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
5073
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
5074
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
5077
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
5078
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
5081
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
5088
:Released: 2008-04-28
5090
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
5091
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
5092
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
5093
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
5094
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
5095
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
5096
and faster performance.
5101
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5102
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5103
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5104

5110
:Released: 2008-04-21
5115
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5116
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5117
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5119
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
5120
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5122
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5123
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
5125
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5126
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5127
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5128
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

every revision each side had in common.
5130
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5136
:Released: 2008-04-11
5141
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
5143
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
5144
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
5146
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
5147
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
5148
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5150
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
5151
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
5152
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
5153
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
5154
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
5155
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
5158
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
5159
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
5160
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
5161
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
5166
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
5168
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
5169
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
5170
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
5172
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
5173
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
5174
See the User Reference for signature details.
5175
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
5177
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
5178
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
5183
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
5184
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
5185
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
5186
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5188
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
5189
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
5191
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
5192
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
5193
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
5196
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
5199
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
5200
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
5201
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
5203
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
5206
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
5207
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
5209
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
5210
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
5212
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
5213
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
5214
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
5216
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
5217
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
5218
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
5219
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
5220
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
5222
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
5223
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
5225
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
5226
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5231
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
5232
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
5233
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
5234
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
5235
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
5236
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
5238
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
5239
directories, not only files. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #107967)
5241
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
5242
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
5243
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
5245
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
5246
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
5248
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
5249
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
5250
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
5251
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5253
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
5254
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
5255
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
5256
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
5257
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
5259
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
5261
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
5262
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
5264
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
5266
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
5267
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
5269
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
5270
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
5275
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
5277
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
5279
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5281
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
5286
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
5287
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
5288
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
5290
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
5291
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
5292
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
5293
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
5295
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
5296
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
5297
release. (James Westby)
5299
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
5302
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
5304
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
5305
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5307
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
5308
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5310
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
5311
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
5313
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
5314
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
5315
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
5317
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
5318
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
5319
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
5320
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
5322
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
5323
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
5324
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
5325
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
5327
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
5328
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
5329
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
5330
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
5331
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
5332
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
5334
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
5335
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
5336
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
5338
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
5339
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5341
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
5342
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
5345
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
5346
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
5348
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
5349
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
5351
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
5352
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
5354
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5355
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
5356
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
5358
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
5359
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
5360
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
5361
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
5362
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
5363
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
5368
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
5369
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
5370
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
5371
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
5373
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
5374
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
5375
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
5376
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
5380
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
5381
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
5384
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
5385
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
5387
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
5389
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
5390
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
5391
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
5396
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5398
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
5401
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
5402
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
5403
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
5404
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
5405
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
5406
(Martin Pool, #109520)
5408
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
5409
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
5411
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
5412
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
5413
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
5414
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
5416
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
5417
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
5419
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
5420
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

No changes from 1.3.1rc1.

* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
5440
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
5441
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

Notes When Upgrading
5470
********************
5472
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
5473
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
5478
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
5479
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
5480
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5481
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5484
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5485
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5486
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5487
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
5488
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5489
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5491
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5492
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5493
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5494
(Alexander Belchenko)
5496
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5498
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5499
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5504
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5505
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5507
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5508
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5514
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5516
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5518
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5519
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5520
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5522
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5523
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5525
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5526
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5528
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5529
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5530
(Alexander Belchenko)
5532
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5533
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5534
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5535
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5537
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5540
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5541
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5542
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5543
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5544
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5549
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5550
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5551
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5552
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5554
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5555
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5557
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5558
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
5560
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
5561
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
5562
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
5564
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
5565
(#198793, John Ferlito)
5567
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
5570
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
5571
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
5573
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
5575
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
5577
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
5578
symlinks (James Henstridge)
5580
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
5581
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
5583
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
5584
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
5586
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
5587
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
5589
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
5590
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
5592
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
5593
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
5598
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
5599
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5604
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5605
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5606
(Alexander Belchenko)
5611
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5613
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5614
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5620
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5621
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5622
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5624
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5625
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5626
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5627
(Alexander Belchenko)
5629
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5630
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5631
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5632
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5634
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5635
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5636
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5639
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5640
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5641
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5643
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5644
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5645
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5647
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5648
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5649
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5650
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5670
********************
5672
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5673
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5674
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5675
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5676
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5682
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5683
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5685
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5686
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5687
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5689
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5690
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5691
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5692
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5693
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5694
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5700
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5701
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5703
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5704
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5705
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5708
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5709
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5710
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5711
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5712
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5714
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5715
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5716
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5717
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5718
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5719
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5720
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5721
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5726
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5727
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5729
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5730
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5732
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5733
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5735
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5736
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5737
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5739
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5740
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5741
(John Arbash Meinel)
5746
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5747
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5749
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5750
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5752
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5753
``--template`` (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
5755
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5756
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5757
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5759
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5760
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5761
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5763
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5764
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5766
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5767
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5768
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5769
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5770
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5772
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5774
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5775
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5778
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5779
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5781
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5782
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5784
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5785
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
5787
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5788
more characters which should be considered valid.
5789
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5791
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5792
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5794
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5795
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5800
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5801
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5803
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5804
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5810
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5811
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5817
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5818
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5819
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5821
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5822
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5823
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5825
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5826
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5827
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5828
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5830
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5832
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5833
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5834
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5835
server. (Robert Collins)
5837
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5838
operate. (Robert Collins)
5840
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5841
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5842
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5844
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5845
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5846
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5847
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5849
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5850
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5852
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5853
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5854
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5856
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5857
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5859
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5860
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5862
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5863
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5864
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5865
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5884

we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5886
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5888
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5889
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5890
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5891
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5896
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5899
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5902
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5903
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5908
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (LukÔŔ Lalinský,
5911
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5912
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5913
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5915
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5917
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5918
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5919
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5920
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5921
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5923
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5924
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5925
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5927
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5928
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5930
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5933
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5935
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5937
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5940
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5941
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5946
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
5947
(Martin Pool, #180208)
5949
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
5950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
5952
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
5955
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5956
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5958
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5959
``log --timezone``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #178722)
5961
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5962
redirected to a pipe. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
5964
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5965
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5967
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5968
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5969
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5971
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5974
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5975
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5978
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5980
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5981
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5982
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5984
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5985
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5987
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5990
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5993
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5994
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5996
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5999
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
6000
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
6003
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
6004
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
6005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
6010
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
6013
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
6014
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
6015
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
6016
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
6017
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
6018
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
6020
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
6025
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
6028
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
6029
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
6031
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
6033
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
6034
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
6035
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
6038
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
6039
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6041
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
6050
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
6051
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
6052
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
6054
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
6055
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
6058
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
6059
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
6061
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
6062
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6064
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
6065
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6067
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
6068
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
6069
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6071
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
6072
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
6074
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
6075
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6077
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
6078
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
6081
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
6082
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
6084
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
6085
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
6091
:Released: 2007-12-14
6096
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6098
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
6101
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
6103
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
6104
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
6111
:Released: 2007-12-11
6116
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
6117
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
6118
by mail to the mailing list.
6124
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
6126
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
6127
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
6128
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
6129
feedback but also incur more latency.
6130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
6132
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
6133
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
6138
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6140
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
6146
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
6147
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
6148
wraps its output in a StringIO.
6155
:Released: 2007-12-07
6160
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6162
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
6165
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
6168
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
6169
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
6170
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
6171
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
6173
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
6176
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
6177
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
6179
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
6180
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
6181
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
6183
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
6184
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
6185
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
6186
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
6187
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
6188
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
6189
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
6190
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
6191
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
6196
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
6199
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
6204
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
6205
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #133782)

* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
6212
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
6220
committer/author has only e-mail. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #157026)

Notes When Upgrading
6235
********************
6237
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
6238
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
6239
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
6240
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
6242
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
6243
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
6245
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
6246
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
6248
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
6249
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
6250
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
6251
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
6252
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
6253
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
6254
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
6255
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
6256
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
6257
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
6258
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
6259
from any tree without problems.
6260
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
6265
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
6266
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
6267
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
6269
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
6270
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
6276
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
6277
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
6278
supported transports.
6281
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
6282
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
6283
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
6285
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
6286
(Robert Collins, #154173)
6288
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
6289
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
6290
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
6291
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
6293
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
6294
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
6299
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
6300
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
6301
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
6302
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6304
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
6305
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
6306
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
6307
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
6309
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
6310
(Robert Collins, #88319)
6312
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
6313
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
6315
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
6316
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
6318
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
6319
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
6325
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
6328
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
6329
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
6332
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
6333
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
6334
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
6335
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
6337
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
6338
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
6339
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
6340
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
6348
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
6349
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6351
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6352
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6354
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6355
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6357
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6360
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6361
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6363
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6364
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6366
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6369
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6372
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6375
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6376
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6379
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6380
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #172598)
6382
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6383
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
6385
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
6386
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
6388
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
6389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
6391
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
6392
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
6393
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
6394
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
6396
(Martin Pool, #164637)
6398
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
6399
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
6400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
6402
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
6403
(Robert Collins, #161240)
6405
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
6407
(Martin Pool, #164443)
6409
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
6410
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
6412
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
6413
specify a port in urls.
6414
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
6416
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
6417
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
6419
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
6420
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
6422
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
6423
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, #136890)
6425
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
6426
(Robert Collins, #153789)
6428
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
6429
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
6430
(Robert Collins, #165304).
6432
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
6434
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
6435
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
6437
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
6440
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
6441
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
6443
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
6444
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
6446
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
6447
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
6448
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
6450
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
6451
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
6453
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
6454
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
6455
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
6456
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
6458
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
6459
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
6461
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
6462
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
6463
replaced by '?'. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #151844)
6465
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
6466
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
6468
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
6469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
6471
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
6472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
6477
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
6478
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
6480
* The return value of
6481
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6482
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6483
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6484
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6486
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6489
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6490
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6497
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6498
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6499
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6502
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6503
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6505
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6511
:Released: 2007-11-05
6516
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
6522
:Released: 2007-10-29
6527
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6528
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6530
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6531
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6532
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6533
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6534
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6535
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6536
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6537
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6538
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6539
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6540
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6541
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6547
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6548
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6549
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6550
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6551
commands. (Robert Collins)
6553
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6554
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6555
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6558
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6560
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6561
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6563
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6564
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6567
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6568
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6569
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6574
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6575
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6577
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6578
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6580
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6581
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6582
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6583
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6585
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6588
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6589
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6590
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6591
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6593
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6594
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6596
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6597
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6599
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6600
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6602
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6603
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6608
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6609
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6611
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6612
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6614
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6615
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6617
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6618
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6620
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6621
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6626
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6628
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6634
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6635
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6636
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6638
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6639
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6641
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6642
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6644
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6645
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6646
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6647
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6649
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6650
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6651
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6652
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6653
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6655
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6656
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6660
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6662
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6663
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6665
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6668
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6671
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6672
contains a symbolic link.
6673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6675
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6676
(James Westby, #140615)
6678
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6679
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6682
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6683
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6684
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6686
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6688
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6691
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6695
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6696
directory to detect leaking tests.
6697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6699
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6700
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6701
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6703
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6706
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6707
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6709
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6715
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6716
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6718
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6719
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6720
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6722
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6723
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6724
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6726
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6727
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6729
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6730
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6732
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6733
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6736
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6737
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6739
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6740
class that needs it.
6743
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6744
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6746
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6747
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6748
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6750
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6751
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6752
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6755
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6756
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6757
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6758
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6764
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6765
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6766
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6768
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6769
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6770
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6771
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6773
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6774
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6777
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6778
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6779
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6781
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6782
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6783
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6785
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6786
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6788
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6789
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6790
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6792
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6793
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6795
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6796
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6797
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6799
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6800
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6801
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6803
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6804
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6805
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6806
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6808
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6809
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6810
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6811
returned. (Robert Collins)
6813
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6814
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6816
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6817
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6818
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6819
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6822
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6823
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6828
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6829
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6831
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6832
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6833
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6834
makes this behavior available to other users.
6837
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6838
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6844
:Released: 2007-09-26
6849
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6850
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6851
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6853
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6855
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6856
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6857
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6858
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6860
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6861
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6868
:Released: 2007-09-11
6870
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6871
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6877
:Released: 2007-09-11
6882
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6883
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6884
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6885
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6888
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6889
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6890
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6896
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6897
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6898
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6901
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6902
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6903
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6905
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6906
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6907
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6909
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6910
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6912
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6913
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6914
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6915
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6916
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6917
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6918
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6919
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6920
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6921
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6923
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6924
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6926
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6927
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6928
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6933
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6934
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6936
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6937
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6938
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6940
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6941
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6943
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6944
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6946
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6949
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6950
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6952
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6953
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6955
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6956
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
6958
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6959
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6961
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6963
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6966
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6967
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6968
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6969
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6971
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
6973
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6974
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6977
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6978
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6980
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6981
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6984
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6985
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6987
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6988
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6990
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6991
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6992
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6993
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6994
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6995
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6996
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6998
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6999
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
7001
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
7002
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
7004
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
7005
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
7007
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
7008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
7010
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
7012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
7014
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
7015
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #93947)
7017
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
7018
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
7019
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
7021
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7022
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7023
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7028
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
7029
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7031
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
7034
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
7037
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
7038
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7040
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
7042
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
7043
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
7045
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
7046
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
7048
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
7049
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
7050
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
7051
space). (Robert Collins)
7053
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
7054
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
7057
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
7058
changes in one revision. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
7060
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
7061
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
7063
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
7064
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
7065
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
7066
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
7068
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
7069
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
7070
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
7073
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
7076
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
7077
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
7078
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
7080
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
7081
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
7082
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
7083
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
7084
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
7089
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
7090
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
7092
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
7093
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
7094
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
7095
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
7096
affected. (Robert Collins)
7098
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
7099
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
7100
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
7103
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7104
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7109
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
7110
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
7112
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
7113
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7115
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7116
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7118
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
7121
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
7122
non-ASCII committer names. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
7127
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
7128
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
7129
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
7130
its version information. (Robert Collins)
7132
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
7133
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7135
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
7136
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
7137
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
7138
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7140
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
7141
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
7142
present. (Robert Collins)
7144
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
7145
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
7146
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
7147
API. (Robert Collins)
7149
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
7150
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
7153
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
7154
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
7156
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
7157
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
7158
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
7159
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
7160
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
7161
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
7163
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
7164
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
7165
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
7167
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
7168
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
7169
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
7170
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
7173
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
7176
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
7177
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
7178
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
7179
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
7180
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
7181
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
7182
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
7184
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
7185
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
7186
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
7187
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
7189
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
7190
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
7191
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
7192
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
7193
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
7194
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
7196
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
7197
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
7198
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
7200
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
7201
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7207
:Released: 2007-08-28
7212
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
7213
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
7214
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
7215
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
7216
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
7217
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
7218
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
7219
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
7225
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
7226
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
7227
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
7233
:Released: 2007-08-14
7238
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
7239
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7240
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
7241
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
7242
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
7244
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
7245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
7247
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
7249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
7251
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
7252
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
7255
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
7256
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
7259
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
7262
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
7263
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
7265
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
7266
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
7268
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7269
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7271
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7272
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
7274
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
7275
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
7277
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
7283
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
7284
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
7286
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
7287
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
7289
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
7290
the repository (Robert Collins)
7292
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
7293
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
7294
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
7295
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
7296
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
7298
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
7299
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7301
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
7302
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
7303
(John Arbash Meinel)
7305
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
7306
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
7307
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
7309
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
7310
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
7311
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
7312
(John Arbash Meinel)
7314
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
7315
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
7318
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
7319
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
7321
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
7324
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
7326
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
7328
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
7329
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
7331
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
7332
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
7335
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
7336
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
7337
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
7338
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7340
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
7341
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
7342
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
7344
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
7345
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
7346
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
7348
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
7349
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7351
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7352
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7353
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7354
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7355
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7356
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7359
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7360
(Alexander Belchenko)
7362
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7363
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7365
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7366
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7368
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7370
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7371
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7376
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7377
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7378
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7379
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7381
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7383
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
7386
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
7387
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
7388
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
7389
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
7390
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
7391
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
7396
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
7397
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
7398
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
7399
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
7401
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
7402
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
7403
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
7404
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
7405
tests have been refactored too.
7408
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
7409
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
7410
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
7414
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
7415
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
7416
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7418
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
7419
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
7420
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
7421
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
7422
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
7423
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
7424
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
7426
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
7427
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
7428
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
7429
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
7430
(John Arbash Meinel)
7432
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
7433
functionality for testing.
7435
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
7437
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
7438
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7440
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
7442
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
7445
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
7446
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
7448
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
7449
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
7450
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
7452
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
7455
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
7456
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
7458
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
7459
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
7460
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
7461
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
7463
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
7464
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
7466
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
7467
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
7468
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
7470
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
7473
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
7474
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
7475
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
7476
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
7477
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
7478
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
7480
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7481
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7482
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7483
many files. (Robert Collins)
7485
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7486
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7487
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7488
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7493
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7494
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7495
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7497
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7498
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7500
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7501
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7502
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7508
:Released: 2007-07-17
7513
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
7519
:Released: 2007-07-10
7524
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
7525
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7527
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
7528
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
7529
(James Westby, #122656)
7531
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7532
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
7534
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7535
authentication header.
7536
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
7538
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
7540
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
7541
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
7543
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
7545
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
7546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
7548
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
7549
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
7550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
7552
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
7553
individually and as part of revision ranges.
7554
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
7556
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
7557
(Martin Pool, #109169)
7559
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
7560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
7562
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
7563
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
7565
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7567
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7572
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7573
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7574
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7575
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7576
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7577
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7579
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7580
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7581
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7583
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7586
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7587
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7589
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7590
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7592
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7593
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7595
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7596
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7597
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7598
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7599
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7601
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7602
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7604
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7605
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7606
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7608
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7609
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7611
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
7613
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7614
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7616
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7617
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7620
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7623
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7624
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7626
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7627
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7629
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7630
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7632
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7634
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7635
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7637
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7643

These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7663
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7665
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7666
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7667
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7669
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7670
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7672
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7673
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7675
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7677
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7678
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7679
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7680
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7681
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7682
same location. (Robert Collins)
7687
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7689
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7691
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7693
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7696
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7699
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7700
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7701
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7703
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7705
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7706
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7707
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7709
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7710
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7712
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7713
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7714
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7716
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7717
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7718
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7720
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7721
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7722
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7724
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7725
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7728
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7729
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7731
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7732
(Alexander Belchenko)
7737
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7738
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7739
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7740
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7742
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7743
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7744
testing. (Robert Collins)
7746
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7747
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7749
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7750
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7751
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7752
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7753
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7754
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7755
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7757
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7758
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7759
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7760
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7762
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7763
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7765
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7766
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7791
********************
7793
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7794
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7795
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7796
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7797
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7798
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7799
and unlock() like so::
7801
work_tree.lock_read()
7803
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7809
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7810
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7812
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7813
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7814
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7816
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7817
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7818
too. (Robert Collins)
7823
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7824
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7827
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7828
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7830
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7831
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7833
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7834
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7835
understanding what changes have occurred
7836
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7838
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7839
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7840
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7842
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7843
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7844
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7845
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7847
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7853
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7854
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7855
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7856
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7857
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7859
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7860
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7861
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7863
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7864
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7866
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7868
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7870
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7871
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7873
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7874
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7876
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7877
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7879
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7880
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7882
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7883
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7885
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7886
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7887
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7892
:Released: 2007-05-07
7897
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7898
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7899
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7900
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7901
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7903
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7904
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7905
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7907
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7908
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7913
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7914
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7915
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7917
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7918
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7919
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7920
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7925
:Released: 2007-04-30
7930
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7931
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7932
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7933
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7935
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7936
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7937
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7939
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7940
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7942
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7943
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7945
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7946
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
7951
:Released: 2007-04-26
7953
Notes When Upgrading
7954
********************
7956
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7957
it could be recovered again.
7958
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7959
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7960
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7962
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7964
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7965
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7970
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7971
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7973
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7974
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7975
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7976
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7978
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7979
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7981
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7982
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7983
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7985
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7986
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7987
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7989
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7990
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7991
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7993
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7994
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7997
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
8000
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
8001
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
8002
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
8003
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
8005
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
8008
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
8009
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
8010
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
8013
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
8014
(Erik BƄgfors, Alexander Belchenko)
8016
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
8017
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
8019
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
8020
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
8021
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
8022
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
8025
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
8026
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
8028
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
8029
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8031
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
8032
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
8033
(Robert Collins, #107125).
8035
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
8036
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
8037
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
8039
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
8040
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
8041
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8043
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
8044
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
8045
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
8046
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
8048
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
8049
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
8050
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
8051
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
8053
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
8054
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
8055
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
8056
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
8057
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
8058
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
8059
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
8060
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
8067
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
8068
code paths. (Robert Collins)
8070
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
8071
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
8072
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
8073
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
8074
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8076
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
8077
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
8079
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
8080
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
8082
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
8083
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
8085
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
8086
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
8088
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
8089
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
8090
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
8093
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
8094
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
8095
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
8096
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
8097
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
8100
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
8101
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
8102
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
8104
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
8105
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
8108
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
8109
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
8110
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
8113
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
8114
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
8115
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
8116
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
8117
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
8119
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
8120
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
8121
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
8122
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8124
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
8125
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8127
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
8128
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
8129
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
8130
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
8131
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
8132
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
8134
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
8135
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
8137
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
8138
help. (Robert Collins)
8140
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
8141
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8143
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
8144
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
8145
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
8146
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
8147
(John Arbash Meinel)
8149
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
8150
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
8151
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
8152
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
8153
useful. (Robert Collins)
8155
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
8161
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
8162
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
8164
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
8165
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
8167
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
8168
properly and is no longer beneficial.
8169
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
8171
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
8174
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
8175
the file, and does it faster.
8176
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
8178
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
8179
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
8180
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
8182
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
8183
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
8184
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
8185
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
8187
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
8188
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
8189
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
8190
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
8192
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
8193
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
8195
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
8196
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
8197
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
8198
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
8201
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
8203
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
8204
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
8206
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
8207
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
8209
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
8210
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
8211
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
8212
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
8216
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
8217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
8222
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
8223
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
8224
in running it. (Robert Collins)
8226
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
8227
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
8229
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
8230
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
8231
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
8232
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
8233
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
8234
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
8235
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
8236
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8238
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
8239
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
8240
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8242
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
8243
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
8244
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
8245
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
8246
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
8248
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8250
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
8251
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
8252
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8254
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
8255
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
8261
:Released: 2007-04-01
8266
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
8269
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
8270
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
8276
:Released: 2007-03-26
8281
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
8282
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
8288
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
8289
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
8290
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
8291
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
8292
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
8293
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
8294
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
8295
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
8301
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
8302
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
8303
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
8305
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
8306
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
8309
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
8310
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
8311
(John Arbash Meinel)
8313
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
8314
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
8315
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
8316
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
8317
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
8322
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
8325
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
8326
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
8328
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
8329
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
8331
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
8332
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
8333
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
8335
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
8336
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
8338
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
8339
last-changed-revision for directories. The
8340
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
8341
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
8342
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
8344
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
8345
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
8346
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
8348
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
8357
********************
8359
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8360
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8361
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8366
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8367
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8369
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8370
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8372
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8374
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8375
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8377
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8378
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8383
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
8389
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
8390
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
8391
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
8392
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
8394
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
8395
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
8397
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
8398
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
8400
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
8403
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
8404
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
8410
:Released: 2007-03-07
8415
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
8416
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
8417
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
8418
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
8419
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
8420
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
8422
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
8423
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
8424
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8425
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
8426
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
8427
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
8429
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8431
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
8432
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
8433
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
8434
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
8435
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
8436
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
8437
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
8438
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8443
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
8444
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8446
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
8447
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
8448
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
8449
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
8451
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
8452
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
8453
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
8454
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
8455
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
8457
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
8460
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
8463
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
8466
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
8467
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
8470
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
8473
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
8474
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
8476
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
8477
directory. (Martin Pool)
8479
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
8480
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8481
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8482
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8484
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8485
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8486
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8487
in docs/configuration.txt.
8489
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8490
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8493
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8494
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8495
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8496
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8497
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8498
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8500
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8501
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8503
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8504
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8506
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8512
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8513
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8514
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8515
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8516
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8517
(John Arbash Meinel)
8519
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8520
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8523
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8524
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8525
(John Arbash Meinel)
8527
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8528
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8529
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8530
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8531
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8532
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8534
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8535
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8536
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8538
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8539
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8540
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8541
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8543
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8545
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8546
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8547
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8548
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8550
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8551
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8552
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8553
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8555
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8556
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8557
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8559
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8560
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8561
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8563
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8564
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8565
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8566
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8568
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8569
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8570
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8572
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8573
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8574
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8576
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8577
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8578
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8579
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8580
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8581
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8582
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8583
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8584
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
8585
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
8586
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8591
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8592
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8593
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8595
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8598
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8599
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8600
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8601
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8603
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8604
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8607
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8608
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
8610
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8612
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8613
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8614
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8616
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
8617
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
8619
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
8620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
8622
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
8623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
8630
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"

8637
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

8648
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
8653
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8654
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8655
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8657
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8658
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8659
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8665
:Released: 2007-01-16
8670
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8671
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8672
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8673
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8675
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8678
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8679
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8680
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8682
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8683
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8685
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8688
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8689
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8690
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8691
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8692
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8693
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8695
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8696
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8697
should enable you to do::
8699
[/home/user/project]
8700
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8701
push_location:policy = appendpath
8703
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8704
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8707
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8708
for each file. For example::
8710
$ bzr status --short
8716
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8717
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8719
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8721
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8722
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8724
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8729
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8730
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8731
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8732
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8734
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8735
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8736
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8738
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8740
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8741
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8742
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8743
(Alexander Belchenko)
8745
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8748
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8749
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8751
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8756
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8757
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8759
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8760
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8761
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8762
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8763
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8765
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8766
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8768
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8769
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8771
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8773
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8775
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8776
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8777
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8778
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8779
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8781
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8782
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8783
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8784
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8786
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8787
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8789
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8790
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8792
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8793

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8817

8819
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8820
operations are substantially faster.
8821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8823
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8824
tree from some other url. For example:
8825
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8826
(Daniel Silverstone)
8828
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8829
location for general information, outside of a specific command.

This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic

included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8833
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8836
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8837
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8838
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8839
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8840
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8841
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8846
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8847
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8850
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8851
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8852
(John Arbash Meinel)
8854
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8855
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8856
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8857
(John Arbash Meinel)
8859
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8860
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8862
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8863
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8865
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8866
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8872
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8873
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8874
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8876
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8877
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8878
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8879
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8881
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8883
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8884
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8886
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8887
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8888
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8891
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8892
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8893
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8895
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8896
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8897
them as full references rather than integers.
8898
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8900
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8901
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8903
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8905
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8906
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8908
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8909
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8911
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8912
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8913
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8914
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8916
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8917
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8918
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8920
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8921
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8923
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8924
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8925
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8926
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
8927
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
8932
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
8933
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
8938

* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8944
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8945
(John Arbash Meinel)
8950
:Released: 2006-10-23
8955
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8956
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8957
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8958
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8960
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8961
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8963
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8965
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8966
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8967
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8968
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8970
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8971
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8972
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8973
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8974
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8979
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8980
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8985
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8986
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8987
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8989
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8990
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8991
(John Arbash Meinel)
8993
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8994
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8995
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8997
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8998
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
9001
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
9002
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
9003
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9005
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
9006
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
9007
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
9008
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
9009
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
9010
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9012
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
9013
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
9014
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
9017
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
9018
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
9023
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
9024
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
9025
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
9028
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
9029
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
9031
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
9032
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
9033
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
9035
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
9036
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
9038
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
9039
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
9040
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
9041
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
9043
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
9044
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
9046
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
9047
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
9048
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
9050
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
9051
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
9053
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9055
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
9056
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
9062
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
9063
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
9064
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
9065
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
9067
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
9068
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
9069
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

9088
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
9094
:Released: 2006-09-25
9099
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
9100
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
9101
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
9102
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9103
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
9104
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
9105
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
9107
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
9108
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
9109
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
9111
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
9113
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
9114
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
9116
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
9117
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
9118
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
9121
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
9122
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
9123
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
9124
(John Arbash Meinel)
9126
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
9127
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
9128
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
9129
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
9132
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
9133
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
9134
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
9135
(John Arbash Meinel)
9140
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
9141
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
9143
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
9145
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
9146
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
9147
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
9149
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
9150
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
9152
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
9153
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
9155
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
9156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
9158
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
9159
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
9161
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
9163
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
9164
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
9166
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
9167
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
9169
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
9170
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
9172
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
9173
(John Arbash Meinel)
9175
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
9176
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
9177
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
9179
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
9180
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9182
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
9183
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
9184
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
9185
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
9187
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
9188
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
9189
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
9191
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
9192
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
9197
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
9202
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
9203
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
9204
(John Arbash Meinel)
9206
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
9207
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
9208
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
9209
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9211
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
9214
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
9215
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
9216
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
9218
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
9219
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
9221
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
9222
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
9223
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
9225
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
9226
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
9227
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
9228
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
9229
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
9230
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
9231
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
9232
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
9233
caller to repeat their request.
9234
(John Arbash Meinel)
9236
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
9237
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
9239
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
9240
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
9242
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
9243
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
9244
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
9245
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
9246
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
9247
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
9248
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
9250
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
9251
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
9252
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
9253
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
9254
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
9255
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
9256
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
9257
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
9260
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
9261
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
9262
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
9264
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
9265
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
9267
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
9268
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9270
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
9271
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9276
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
9277
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
9279
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
9280
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
9281
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9283
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
9284
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
9285
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9290
:Released: 2006-08-29
9294
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
9295
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
9297
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
9298
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
9299
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
9300
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
9301
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
9303
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
9304
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
9305
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
9307
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
9308
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
9310
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
9311
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
9312
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9317
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
9319
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
9320
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
9321
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
9323
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
9325
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
9327
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
9328
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
9329
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
9330
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
9332
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
9333
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
9334
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
9335
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
9336
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
9338
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
9339
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
9341
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
9342
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
9344
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
9345
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
9347
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
9348
in handling of revision properties.
9349
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9351
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9352
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9357
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9358
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9359
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9360
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9361
(John Arbash Meinel)
9363
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9364
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9365
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9370
:Released: 2006-08-11
9375
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9376
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9377
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9378
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9379
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9380
a more conservative list than the old default.
9381
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9382
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9383
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
9384
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
9386
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
9387
to more locations than just branch locations.
9393
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
9394
revno:N:branch. For example,
9395
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
9396
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
9398
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
9399
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
9400
the path of a file that has been versioned.
9401
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9402
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9403
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
9404
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
9405
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
9408
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
9409
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
9410
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
9413
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
9414
(Alexander Belchenko)
9416
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
9418
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
9421
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
9422
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
9423
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
9424
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
9425
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
9426
(John Arbash Meinel)
9428
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
9429
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
9430
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
9431
grained analysis of performance.
9432
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9434
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
9435
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
9437
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
9438
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
9439
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
9440
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
9441
file. (Robert Collins).
9443
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
9444
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
9445
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
9447
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
9448
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
9451
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
9452
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
9454
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
9455
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
9456
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
9457
the same way you would apply another branch.
9458
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
9460
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
9461
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
9463
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
9466
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
9469
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
9470
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
9471
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
9473
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
9474
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
9475
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
9477
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
9478
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
9480
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9481
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9482
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9483
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9484
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9486
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9487
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9489
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9490
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9491
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9492
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9493
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9494
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9495
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9496
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9498
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9499
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9500
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9505
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9507
(Erik BƄgfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9509
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9510
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9512
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9513
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9515
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9516
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9518
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9520
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9521
(John Arbash Meinel)
9523
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9524
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9526
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9527
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9530
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9531
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9533
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9534
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9536
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9537
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9538
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9539
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9541
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9542
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9544
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9546
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9547
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9549
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9551
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9553
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9554
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9556
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9557
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9559
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9560
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9561
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9563
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9564
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9565
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9567
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9568
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9570
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9571
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9573
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9574
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9576
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9577
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9579
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9580
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9582
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9583
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9584
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9586
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9588
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9589
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9594
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9595
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9596
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9598
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9599
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9601
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9602
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9603
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9605
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9606
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9608
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9609
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9612
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9613
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9614
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9616
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9617
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9618
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9620
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9621
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9622
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9624
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9625
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9626
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9628
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9629
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9630
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9632
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9633
instead. (Robert Collins)
9635
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
9640
:Released: 2006-05-17
9645
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
9650
:Released: 2006-05-16
9655
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
9656
Robert Collins, Erik BƄgfors, #43959)
9658
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9659
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9661
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9662
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9663
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9668
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9670
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9671
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9673
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9678
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9679
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9680
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9681
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9686
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9687
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9688
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9693
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9694
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9695
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9700
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
9701
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
9709
********************
9711
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9712
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9713
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9714
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9715
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9716
will keep the same format.
9718
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9719
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9720
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9721
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9722
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9724
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9725
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9726
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9727
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9728
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9729
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9730
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9732
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9733
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9734
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9735
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9736
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9738
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9739
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9740
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9747
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9748
convention. Paths now take the form::
8
9750
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10
9752
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
13
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
15
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
16
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
17
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
19
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
20
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
21
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
22
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
24
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
25
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
28
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik BƄgfors)
30
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik BƄgfors)
32
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
33
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
34
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
35
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
38
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
40
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
41
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
42
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
45
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
47
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
49
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
52
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
53
their own formatters. (Erik BƄgfors)
55
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
56
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
59
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
60
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
63
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
65
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
67
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
68
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik BƄgfors, Robert Collins)
70
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
71
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
72
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
73
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. (Olaf Conradi)
75
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
76
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
79
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
80
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
84
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
85
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
87
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
89
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
91
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
96
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
97
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
98
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
99
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
101
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
102
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
105
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
108
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
110
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
111
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
112
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
114
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
115
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
117
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
118
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
119
paths. (Robert Collins)
121
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
122
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
123
needs. (Robert Collins)
125
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
126
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
127
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
129
* Progress bars are now nested - see
130
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
132
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
135
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
138
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
142
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
143
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
145
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
146
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
147
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
148
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
150
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
151
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
152
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
153
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
154
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
156
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
157
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
158
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
160
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
162
bzr 0.7rc1 2006-01-09
166
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
167
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
169
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
170
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
171
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
174
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
175
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
177
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
178
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
179
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
180
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
183
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
184
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
185
used. (Robert Collins)
187
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
188
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
191
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
192
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
193
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
195
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
198
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
199
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
203
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
204
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
206
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
208
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
210
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
211
tree. (Robert Collins)
213
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
214
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
215
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
218
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
221
* Tweaks to short log printing
223
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
226
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
227
occurs. (Martin Pool)
229
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
230
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
232
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
233
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
235
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
236
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
237
settings. (Magnus Therning)
239
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
240
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
242
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
243
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
246
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
247
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
249
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
250
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
252
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
253
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
255
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
258
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
259
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
261
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
262
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
264
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
265
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
266
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
270
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
272
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
274
* Error when run with -OO
276
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
279
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
281
* Change status to 3 for all errors
283
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
284
ignored by diff and status
286
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
287
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
289
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
291
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
293
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
294
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
296
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
297
email address. (Marien Zwart)
299
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
302
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
303
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
305
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
307
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
308
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
310
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
313
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
316
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
320
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
321
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
323
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
325
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
327
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
329
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
330
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
331
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
333
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
335
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
338
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
340
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
341
If adding a new test script please add that to
342
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
344
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
345
imported. (Martin Pool)
347
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
348
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
349
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
350
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
351
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
354
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
355
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
356
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
358
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
359
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
360
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
362
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
363
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
364
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
365
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
366
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
369
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
370
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
375
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
376
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
378
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
379
function. (Robert Collins)
381
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
382
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
383
if needed). (Robert Collins)
385
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
386
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
388
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
389
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
390
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
391
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
392
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
393
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
394
version. (Robert Collins)
396
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
397
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
399
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
400
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
401
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
402
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
403
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
404
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
406
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
409
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
9754
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9755
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9757
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9758
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9759
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9761
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9762
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9763
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9764
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9766
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9767
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9768
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9770
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik BƄgfors)
9772
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik BƄgfors)
9774
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9775
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9778
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9779
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9782
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9784
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9785
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9786
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9789
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9791
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9793
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9796
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9797
their own formatters. (Erik BƄgfors)
9799
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9800
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9803
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9804
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9807
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9809
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9811
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9812
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik BƄgfors, Robert Collins)
9814
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9815
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9816
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9817
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9818
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9819
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9821
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9823
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9824
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9827
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9828
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9830
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9831
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9833
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9835
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9836
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9837
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9838
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9839
specification by Martin Pool.
9840
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9842
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9845
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9846
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9848
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9849
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9850
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9852
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9854
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9855
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9861
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9862
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9864
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9866
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9868
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9871
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9872
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9873
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9874
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9879
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9880
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9881
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9882
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9884
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9885
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9886
tried. (Martin Pool)
9888
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9891
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9893
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9894
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9895
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9897
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9898
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9900
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9901
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9902
paths. (Robert Collins)
9904
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9905
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9906
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9908
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9909
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9910
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9912
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9913
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9914
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9916
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9919
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9922
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9924
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9926
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9927
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9928
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9931
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9932
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9934
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9935
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9936
check. (Robert Collins)
9938
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9939
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9944
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9945
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9947
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9948
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9949
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9950
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9952
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9953
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9954
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9955
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9956
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9958
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9959
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9960
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9962
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9964
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9965
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
9970
:Released: 2006-01-09
9975
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9976
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9978
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9979
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9980
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9983
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9984
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9986
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9987
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9988
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9989
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9990
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9992
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9993
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9994
used. (Robert Collins)
9996
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9997
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
10000
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
10001
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
10002
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
10004
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
10007
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
10008
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
10013
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
10014
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
10016
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10018
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10020
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
10021
tree. (Robert Collins)
10023
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
10024
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10025
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
10028
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
10031
* Tweaks to short log printing
10033
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
10036
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
10037
occurs. (Martin Pool)
10039
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
10040
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
10042
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
10043
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
10045
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
10046
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
10047
settings. (Magnus Therning)
10049
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
10050
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10052
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
10053
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
10056
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
10057
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
10059
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
10060
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
10062
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
10063
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
10065
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
10068

* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
10072
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
10074
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
10075
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
10076
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
10081
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
10083
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10085
* Error when run with -OO
10087

* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
10104
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr

10107
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
10108

10110
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
10113
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
10114
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10116
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
10118
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
10119
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
10121
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
10124
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
10125
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
10127
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
10132
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
10133
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
10135

10137
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10139
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
10141
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
10142
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under

10147
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
10148
(John Arbash Meinel)
10150
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
10152
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
10153
If adding a new test script please add that to
10154
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
10156
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be

Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
10163
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
10166
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
10167
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
10168
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
10170
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
10171
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
10172
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10174
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
10175
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
10176
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
10177
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
10178
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
10181
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
10182
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
10188
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
10189
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
10191
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
10192
function. (Robert Collins)
10194
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
10195
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
10196
if needed). (Robert Collins)
10198
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
10199
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
10202
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
10203
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
10204
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
10205
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
10206
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
10207
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
10208
version. (Robert Collins)
10210
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
10211
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
10213
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
10214
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
10215
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
10216
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
10217
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
10218
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
10220
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
10223
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
417
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
419
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
421
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
424
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
425
query method. (Robert Collins)
427
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
430
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
433
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
437
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
438
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
439
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
440
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
442
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
443
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
444
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
445
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
447
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
448
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
454
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
457
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
461
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
462
a separator, not ':'.
465
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
466
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
467
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
469
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
470
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
473
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
474
has been added that suppresses all output.
476
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
479
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
482
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
483
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
485
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
486
a revision. (Robert Collins)
488
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
489
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
490
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
491
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
493
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
495
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
496
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
498
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
499
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
501
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
502
output directory, if one was supplied.
504
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
505
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
506
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
507
parameters. (Robert Collins)
509
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
511
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
512
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
514
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
515
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
516
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
518
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
519
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
521
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
524
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
526
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
530
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
531
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
532
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
534
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
535
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
536
related questions. (Robert Collins)
538
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
539
is given. (Martin Pool)
541
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
542
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
543
file. (Robert Collins)
545
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
550
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
551
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
552
representation. (Martin Pool).
554
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
555
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
556
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
558
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
561
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
562
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
565
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
566
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
567
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
568
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
569
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
571
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
572
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
573
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
574
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
575
python path. (Robert Collins)
577
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
578
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
579
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
580
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
582
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
583
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
585
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
586
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
589
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
590
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
591
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
593
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
594
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
595
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
597
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
598
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
600
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
601
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
602
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
605
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
606
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
607
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
608
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
611
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
614
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
615
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
618
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
619
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
620
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
622
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
623
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
624
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
626
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
627
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
628
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
630
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
631
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
633
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
634
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
635
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
636
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
637
caller. (Robert Collins)
639
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
640
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
643
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
644
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
646
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
648
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
649
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
653
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
654
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
656
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
657
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
664
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
665
allow directories to be listed.
667
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
668
upgrading branch format.
672
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
679
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
680
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
681
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
682
high-latency connections.
686
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
689
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
690
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
692
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
693
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
694
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
695
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
697
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
698
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
700
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
701
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
703
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
704
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
705
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
707
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
708
for files with only a change to their executable status.
709
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
712
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
713
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
715
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
716
different partial views of history.
718
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
719
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
724
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
725
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
726
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
728
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
729
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
732
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
733
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
735
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
738
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
739
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
741
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
742
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
743
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
744
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
746
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
748
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
749
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
752
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
753
Contributed by Robert Collins.
755
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
756
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
757
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
762
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
763
for your viewing pleasure.
765
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
766
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
768
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
769
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
770
handling of such circumstances.
775
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
776
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
778
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
779
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
786
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
788
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
791
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
793
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
795
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
796
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
800
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
801
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
803
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
804
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
805
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
806
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
809
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
810
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
814
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
816
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
817
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
824
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
825
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
826
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
827
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
830
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
833
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
834
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
835
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
836
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
837
for the operating system is still tried.
839
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
840
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
841
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
846
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
850
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
852
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
855
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
861
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
863
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
870
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
871
help with intelligent shell completion.
873
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
878
* Much better merge support.
880
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
881
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
887
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
888
mention revisions that are not present.
890
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
892
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
894
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
895
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
900
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
902
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
903
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
909
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
910
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
919
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
920
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
922
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
924
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
925
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
927
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
930
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
932
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
935
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
936
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
938
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
939
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
940
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
945
* Faster working tree operations.
950
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
951
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
952
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
953
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
955
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
956
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
957
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
958
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
959
standard plugins directory.
961
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
962
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
963
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
964
option. Patch from William DodƩ and John Meinel.
966
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
967
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
969
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
972
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
973
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
974
``-l`` option, patched by William DodƩ.
976
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
977
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
979
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
980
line options must come before the command name because they
981
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
982
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
985
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
987
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
988
is available with ``--short``.
993
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1000
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1001
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1003
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1004
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1005
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1006
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1008
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1009
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1010
with the ``--forward`` option.
1012
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1013
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1019
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1020
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1022
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1024
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1025
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1027
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1029
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1030
either read or write mode.
1032
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1034
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1037
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1039
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1040
suggested by LarstiQ.
1042
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1043
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1045
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1048
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1049
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1051
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1052
haven't changed since the previous time.
1054
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1055
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1057
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1059
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1061
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1062
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1064
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1065
options through to an external GNU diff.
1067
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1070
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1076
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1077
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1079
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1085
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1086
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1089
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1090
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1092
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1093
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1095
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1096
under a different version.
1098
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1103
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1105
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1106
Scott James Remnant.
1108
* Better help messages for many commands.
1110
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1111
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1113
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1114
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1116
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1118
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1120
* New AtomicFile class.
1122
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1127
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1128
2.4 is now only recommended.
1131
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1135
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1136
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1138
* More default ignore patterns.
1140
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1141
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1143
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1145
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1148
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1153
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1154
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1155
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1156
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1157
there are DNS problems.
1159
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1164
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1166
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1168
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1169
trailing newlines properly.
1174
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1177
* More tests in test.sh.
1179
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1180
directory and delete it when done.
1182
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1187
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1190
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1194
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1198
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1201
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1203
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1206
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1209
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1211
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1215
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1216
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1221
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1222
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1227
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1231
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
10233
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
10235
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
10237
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
10240
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
10241
query method. (Robert Collins)
10243
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
10246
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
10249
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
10252
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
10253
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
10254
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
10255
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
10257
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
10258
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
10259
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
10260
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
10262
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
10263
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
10268
:Released: 2005-10-28
10273
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
10276
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
10280
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
10281
a separator, not ':'.
10284
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
10285
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
10286
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
10288
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10289
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
10292
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
10293
has been added that suppresses all output.
10295
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
10298
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
10299
Goffredo Baroncelli.
10301
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
10302
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
10304
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
10305
a revision. (Robert Collins)
10307
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
10308
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
10309
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
10310
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
10312
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
10314
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
10315
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
10317
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
10318
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
10320
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
10321
output directory, if one was supplied.
10323
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
10324
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
10325
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
10326
parameters. (Robert Collins)
10328
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
10330
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
10331
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
10333
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
10334
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
10335
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
10337
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
10338
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
10340
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
10343
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
10345
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
10350
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10351
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10352
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10354
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10355
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10356
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10358
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10359
is given. (Martin Pool)
10361
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10362
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10363
file. (Robert Collins)
10365
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10371
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10372
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10373
representation. (Martin Pool).
10375
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10376
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10377
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10379
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10382
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10383
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
10386
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10387
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
10388
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
10389
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
10390
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
10392
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
10393
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
10394
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
10395
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
10396
python path. (Robert Collins)
10398
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
10399
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
10400
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
10401
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
10403
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
10404
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
10406
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
10407
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
10410
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
10411
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
10412
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
10414
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
10415
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
10416
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
10418
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10419
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10421
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
10422
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
10423
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
10426
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
10427
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
10428
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
10429
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
10432
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
10435
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
10436
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
10439
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
10440
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
10441
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
10443
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
10444
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
10445
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
10447
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
10448
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
10449
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
10451
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10452
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10454
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
10455
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
10456
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
10457
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
10458
caller. (Robert Collins)
10460
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
10461
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
10464
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
10465
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
10468
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
10470
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
10471
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
10476
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
10477
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
10479
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
10480
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
10486
:Released: 2005-10-12
10491
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10492
allow directories to be listed.
10494
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10495
upgrading branch format.
10500
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10506
:Released: 2005-10-11
10511
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10512
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10513
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10514
high-latency connections.
10519
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10522
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10523
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10525
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10526
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10527
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10528
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10530
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10531
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10533
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10534
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10536
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10537
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10538
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10540
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10541
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10542
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10545
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10546
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10548
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10549
different partial views of history.
10551
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10552
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10557
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10558
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10559
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10561
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10562
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10565
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10566
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10568
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10571
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10572
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10574
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10575
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10576
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10577
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10579
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10581
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10582
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10585
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10586
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10588
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10589
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10590
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10596
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10597
for your viewing pleasure.
10599
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10600
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10602
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10603
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10604
handling of such circumstances.
10606
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10607
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10608
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10610
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10612
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10613
we call them revisions not patches.
10615
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10616
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10618
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10619
giving the revision *of that file*.
10621
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10622
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10623
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10628
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10629
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10631
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10632
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
10638
:Released: 2005-09-23
10643
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10645
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10648
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10650
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10652
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10653
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10658
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10659
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10661
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10662
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10663
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10664
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10667
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10668
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10673
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10675
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10676
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10682
:Released: 2005-09-20
10688
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10689
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10690
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10691
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10694
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10697
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10698
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10699
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10700
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10701
for the operating system is still tried.
10703
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10704
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10705
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10711
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10716
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10718
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10721
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
10728
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
10730
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
10736
:Released: 2005-09-02
10741
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10742
help with intelligent shell completion.
10744
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10750
* Much better merge support.
10752
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10753
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10760
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10761
mention revisions that are not present.
10763
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10765
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10767
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10768
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10774
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10776
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10777
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10784
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10785
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
10793
:Released: 2005-08-18
10798
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10799
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10801
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10803
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10804
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10806
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10809
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10811
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10814
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10815
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10817
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10818
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10819
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10825
* Faster working tree operations.
10831
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10832
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10833
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10834
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10836
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10837
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10838
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10839
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10840
standard plugins directory.
10842
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10843
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10844
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10845
option. Patch from William DodƩ and John Meinel.
10847
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10848
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10850
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10853
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10854
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10855
``-l`` option, patched by William DodƩ.
10857
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10858
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10860
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10861
line options must come before the command name because they
10862
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10863
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10866
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10868
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
10869
is available with ``--short``.
10875
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
10881
:Released: 2005-06-15
10886
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10887
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10889
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10890
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10891
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10892
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10894
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10895
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10896
with the ``--forward`` option.
10898
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10899
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10906
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10907
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
10909
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10911
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10912
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10914
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10916
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10917
either read or write mode.
10919
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10921
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10922
affected that file.
10924
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10926
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10927
suggested by LarstiQ.
10929
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10930
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10932
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10935
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10936
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
10938
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10939
haven't changed since the previous time.
10941
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10942
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
10944
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
10946
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
10948
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
10949
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
10951
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
10952
options through to an external GNU diff.
10954
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
10957
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
10964
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
10965
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
10967
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
10974
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
10975
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
10978
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
10979
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
10981
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
10982
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
10984
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
10985
under a different version.
10987
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
10993
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
10995
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10996
Scott James Remnant.
10998
* Better help messages for many commands.
11000
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
11001
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
11003
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
11004
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
11006
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
11008
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
11010
* New AtomicFile class.
11012
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
11018
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
11019
2.4 is now only recommended.
11025
:Released: 2005-04-22
11030
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
11031
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
11033
* More default ignore patterns.
11035
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
11036
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
11038
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
11040
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
11043
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
11049
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
11050
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
11051
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
11052
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
11053
there are DNS problems.
11055
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
11061
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
11063
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
11065
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
11066
trailing newlines properly.
11072
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
11075
* More tests in test.sh.
11077
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
11078
directory and delete it when done.
11080
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
11086
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
11089
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
11096
:Released: 2005-04-06
11101
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
11104
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
11106
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
11109
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
11112
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
11114
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
11119
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
11120
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
11126
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
11127
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
11133
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
11138
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1238
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

1248
rather than replacing it.
1250
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
1254
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
1257
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
1258
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.

* Performance improvements.
1262
* New global --profile option.

1265
the root directory only.

1277
committing to stores.
1279
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
1283
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
