:Codename: san francisco airport
17
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
18
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
19
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
20
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
21
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
26
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
27
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
32
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
33
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
34
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
36
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorder Tyler, #456036)
38
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
40
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
41
(Robert Collins, #84659)
43
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
45
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
46
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
48
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
49
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
51
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
52
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
53
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
54
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
56
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
57
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
58
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
63
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
64
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
73
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
81
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
82
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
84
bzr 2.0.3 (not released yet)
85
############################
98
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
100
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
107
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
123
:Codename: after sprint recovery
126
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
127
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
128
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
129
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
131
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
132
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
133
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
134
formats for Remote objects.
140
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
141
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
146
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
148
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
149
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
151
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
153
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
154
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
155
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
156
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
157
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
158
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
160
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
161
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
162
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
163
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
165
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
166
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
168
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
169
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
171
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
172
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
173
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
174
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
175
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
176
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
177
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
180
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
181
(Alexander Belchenko)
186
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
191
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
192
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
193
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
198
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
199
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
201
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
202
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
204
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
205
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
207
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
208
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
209
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
210
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
212
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
213
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
215
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
216
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
217
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
218
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
220
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
221
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
222
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
223
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
230
:Codename: a load off my mind
233
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
234
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
236
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
237
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
238
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
239
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
240
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
246
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
247
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
249
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
250
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
251
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
252
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
254
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
255
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
257
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
258
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
259
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
260
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
262
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
263
files. (Aaron Bentley)
265
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
266
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
271
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
272
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
273
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
276
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
277
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
283
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
284
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
289
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
291
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
292
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
298
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
299
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
300
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
301
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
302
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
305
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
306
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
307
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
308
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
309
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
310
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
311
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
312
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
313
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
315
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
316
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
317
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
318
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
319
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
320
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
321
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
323
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
324
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
325
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
326
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
332
:Codename: after the scare
335
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
336
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
342
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
343
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
345
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
348
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
350
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
351
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
352
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
354
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
355
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
357
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
358
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
360
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
361
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
366
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
367
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
372
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
373
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
379
:Codename: While the cat is away
382
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
383
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
384
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
385
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
386
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
387
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
388
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
390
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
391
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
392
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
393
error handling during unlocking.
399
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
402
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
403
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
404
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
405
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
406
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
407
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
409
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
410
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
411
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
413
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
414
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
417
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
418
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
419
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
421
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
422
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
425
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
426
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
432
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
433
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
434
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
435
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
436
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
437
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
438
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
440
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
441
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
442
(Robert Collins, #3918)
444
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
445
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
446
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
449
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
450
merges are present in the working tree.
451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
453
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
454
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
456
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
457
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
459
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
462
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
463
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
466
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
467
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
469
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
470
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
472
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
475
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
476
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
477
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
482
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
483
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
484
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
486
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
487
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
488
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
489
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
490
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
491
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
492
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
493
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
495
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
496
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
497
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
498
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
499
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
504
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
506
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
507
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
512
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
513
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
515
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
516
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
518
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
519
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
520
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
522
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
525
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
526
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
527
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
528
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
529
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
533
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
539
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
540
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
543
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
544
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
545
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
548
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
549
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
555
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
556
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
558
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
559
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
561
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
562
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
565
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
569
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
570
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
572
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
573
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
574
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
576
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
577
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
578
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
579
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
580
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
582
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
583
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
585
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
586
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
592
:Codename: Stability First
595
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
596
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
597
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
603
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
604
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
605
(Robert Collins, #3918)
607
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
608
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
609
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
611
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
612
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
613
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
615
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
616
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
618
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
619
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
620
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
621
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
622
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
624
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
625
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
627
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
628
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
629
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
630
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
632
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
633
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
634
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
636
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
637
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
638
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
639
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
640
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
641
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
642
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
644
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
645
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
647
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
648
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
649
to download the entire cix file many times.
650
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
652
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
653
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
658
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
660
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.

:Codename: Instant Karma
670
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
671
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
672
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
673
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
674
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
677
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
678
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
680
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
681
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
682
months or until the following stable release.
684
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
685
******************************
687
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
688
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
689
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
690
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
696
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
701
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
702
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
703
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
708
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
709
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
710
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
711
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
712
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
713
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
714
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
716
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
717
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
718
(Robert Collins, #416732)
720
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
721
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
723
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
724
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
725
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
727
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
728
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
730
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
731
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
732
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
733
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
734
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
735
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
736
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
738
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
739
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
740
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
741
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
742
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
743
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
745
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
746
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
747
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
749
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
750
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
751
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
753
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
754
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
755
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
757
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
758
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
760
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
761
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
762
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
763
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
768
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
770
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
772
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
773
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
775
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
776
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
777
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
779
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
780
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
781
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
783
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
784
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
790
:Codename: no worries
791
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
796
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
797
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
798
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
799
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
800
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
802
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
803
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
804
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
805
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
810
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
811
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
816
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
817
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
819
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
820
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
821
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
822
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
823
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
825
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
826
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
829
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
832
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
833
(Martin Pool, #286871)
835
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
836
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
837
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
839
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
840
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
841
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
842
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
847
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
848
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
849
(Martin Pool, #409137)
851
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
852
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
853
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
854
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
856
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
858
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
859
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
861
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
862
(Robert Collins, #305006)
864
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
865
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
866
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
868
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
869
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
870
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
871
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
872
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
873
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
878
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
884
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
885
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
886
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
894
:Codename: nein nein nein!
897
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
898
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
899
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
900
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
901
pushing to older servers.
906
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
907
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
908
(Martin Pool, #415508)
910
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
911
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
912
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
917
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
918
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
920
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
921
(Robert Collins, #305006)
926
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
927
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
928
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
930
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
931
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
932
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
934
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
935
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
936
should be used. (Robert Collins)
944
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
945
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
946
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
947
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
948
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
956
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
957
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
958
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
959
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
960
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
962
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
965
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
966
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
968
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
969
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
971
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
972
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
973
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
974
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
976
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
977
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
978
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
980
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
981
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
983
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
984
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
985
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
986
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
991
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
992
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
993
(Martin Pool, #409137)
995
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
996
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
997
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
998
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
999
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
1001
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
1002
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
1003
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
1004
(John Arbash Meinel)
1015
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
1016
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
1017
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
1018
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
1019
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
1020
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
1022
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
1023
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
1024
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
1025
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
1027
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
1028
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
1029
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
1030
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
1031
(John Arbash Meinel)
1033
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
1034
protocols. (Robert Collins)
1036
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
1037
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
1038
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
1039
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
1045
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
1046
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
1054
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
1056
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
1057
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
1058
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
1059
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
1060
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
1061
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
1063
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1064
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
1065
or until the following stable release.
1067
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
1072
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
1073
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
1075
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
1076
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
1077
(Martin Pool, #391411)
1082
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
1083
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
1084
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
1086
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
1087
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
1088
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
1089
(Martin Pool, #123688)
1091
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
1092
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
1093
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
1094
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
1096
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
1097
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
1099
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
1100
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
1101
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
1102
(Robert Collins, #282402)
1104
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
1105
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
1107
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
1108
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
1110
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
1111
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
1112
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
1113
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
1114
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
1116
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
1117
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
1118
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
1120
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
1121
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
1122
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
1123
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
1124
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
1126
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
1127
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
1129
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
1130
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
1131
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
1133
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
1134
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
1135
(Martin Pool, #408201)
1137
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
1138
(Martin Pool, #403523)
1140
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
1141
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
1142
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
1144
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
1145
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
1147
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
1148
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
1150
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
1151
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
1153
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
1154
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
1155
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
1157
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
1158
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
1159
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
1161
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1163
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
1164
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
1166
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
1167
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
1168
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
1169
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
1170
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
1171
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
1173
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1174
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1175
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1177
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
1178
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
1179
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
1180
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
1182
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
1183
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
1184
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
1185
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
1186
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
1188
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
1189
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
1190
(Robert Collins, #187207)
1195
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
1198
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
1199
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
1200
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
1201
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
1203
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
1204
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
1205
(John Arbash Meinel)
1210
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1215
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
1216
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
1217
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
1218
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
1219
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
1220
passwords. (Martin Pool)
1222
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
1225
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
1228
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
1232
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
1233
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
1238
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
1239
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
1240
paths. (Robert Collins)
1242
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
1243
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
1245
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
1246
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
1247
disk. (Robert Collins)
1249
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
1250
it. (Robert Collins)
1252
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
1253
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
1254
(Alexander Belchenko)
1260
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
1261
(Martin Pool, #409684)
1263
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
1264
(Martin Pool, #408199)
1266
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
1267
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
1268
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
1269
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
1270
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
1271
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

1280
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1281
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1282
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
1292
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
1293
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
1296
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
1297
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
1298
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
1299
annoying progress bar artifacts.
1302
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
1303
*********************************
1305
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
1306
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
1307
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
1309
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
1310
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
1311
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
1313
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
1314
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
1317
Compatibility Breaks
1318
********************
1320
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
1321
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
1322
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
1323
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
1329
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1330
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
1331
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
1332
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
1334
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
1335
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
1336
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1338
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1339
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
1340
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
1342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
1344
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
1345
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
1346
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
1347
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1353
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
1354
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
1356
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
1357
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
1358
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
1359
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
1361
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
1362
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
1364
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1365
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1366
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1368
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
1369
(Martin Pool, #321935)
1371
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
1372
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
1374
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
1375
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
1377
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
1378
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
1379
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
1381
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
1384
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
1385
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
1387
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
1388
of a remote repository.
1389
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
1391
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
1392
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
1395
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
1397
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
1399
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
1400
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
1402
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
1403
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1405
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1406
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1407
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1409
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1410
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1411
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1412
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1413
(John Arbash Meinel)
1415
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1416
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1417
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1419
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1420
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1421
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1422
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1423
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1424
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1426
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1427
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1428
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1429
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1430
activity display respectively.
1431
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1433
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1434
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1436
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1439
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
1440
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
1446
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
1447
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
1448
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
1449
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
1451
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
1452
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
1453
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
1454
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
1457
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
1458
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
1460
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
1461
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
1462
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
1463
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
1464
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
1465
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1467
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
1468
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
1469
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
1470
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
1472
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
1473
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
1474
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
1475
(John Arbash Meinel)
1478
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
1479
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
1480
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
1481
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
1487
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
1488
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
1489
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
1490
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1492
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
1493
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
1494
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
1496
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
1499
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
1500
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
1502
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
1503
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
1504
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1506
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
1507
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
1508
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
1509
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1511
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
1517
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
1518
formatting in the user reference.
1519
(Martin Pool, #249908)
1521
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
1527
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
1530
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
1531
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
1532
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
1538
:Released: 2009-06-26
1540
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1541
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1542
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1545
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1546
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1547
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1549
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1550
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1555
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1556
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1558
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1559
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1560
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1562
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1563
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1564
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1565
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1566
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1567
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1568
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1570
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1571
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1572
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1574
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1575
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1576
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1578
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1579
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1580
that. (Robert Collins)
1582
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1583
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1584
repository. (Robert Collins)
1586
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1587
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1588
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1589
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

1599
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
1600
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1601
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1602
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
1604
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
1605
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
1606
bug fixes and improvements.
1609
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1610
*********************************
1612
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1613
2a can work correctly.
1614
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1616
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1617
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1618
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1621
Compatibility Breaks
1622
********************
1624
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1625
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1632
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1633
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1634
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1635
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1636
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1637
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1640
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1641
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1642
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1643
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1645
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1646
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1648
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1649
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1651
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1652
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1653
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1655
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1656
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1662
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1663
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1664
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1666
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1667
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1668
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1669
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1670
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1672
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1673
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1674
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1675
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1677
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1678
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1684
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1685
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1686
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1687
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1693
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1694
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1696
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1697
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1699
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1700
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1701
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1703
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1704
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1706
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1707
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1708
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1710
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1711
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1712
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1713
(John Arbash Meinel)
1715
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1716
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1718
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1719
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1721
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1722
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1724
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1725
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1726
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1727
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1728
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1729
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1731
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1733
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1734
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1736
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1737
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1739
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1740
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1741
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1742
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1743
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1745
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1746
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1747
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1748
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1753
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1754
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1755
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1760
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1762
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1763
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1764
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1766
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1767
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1768
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1770
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1771
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1773
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1774
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1779
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1780
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1785
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
1786

The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1802
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1803
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1804
revisions introduce the exact same line.

Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1813
*********************************
1815
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1816
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1817
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1818
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Compatibility Breaks
1826
********************
1828
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1829
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1830
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1831
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1836
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1837
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1840
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1841
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1842
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1843
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1845
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1846
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1847
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1848
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1850
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1851
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1854
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1855
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1856
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1861
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1862
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1864
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1865
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1867
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1868
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1869
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1871
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1876
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1877
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1879
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1881
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1882
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1884
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1885
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1887
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1888
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1890
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1891
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1892
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1893
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1895
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1896
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1898
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1899
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1901
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1902
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1904
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1905
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1907
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1908
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1910
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1913
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1914
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1916
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1917
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1918
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1919
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1920
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1921
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1922
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1923
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1924
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1925
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1926
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1927
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1928
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1929
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1931
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1932
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1933
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1935
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1936
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1944
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1945
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1946
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1948
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1949
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1950
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1951
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1952
(Alexander Belchenko)
1957
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1958
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1959
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1961
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1962
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1965
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1966
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1967
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1968
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1969
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1971
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1972
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1973
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1975
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1976
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1977
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1978
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1980
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1981
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1982
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1984
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1985
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1987
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1988
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1989
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1990
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1992
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1993
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1994
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1996
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1997
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1999
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
2000
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
2001
branches. (Robert Collins)
2003
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
2004
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2006
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
2011
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
2012
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
2063
********************
2065
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
2066
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
2067
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
2068
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
2069
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2071
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
2072
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
2073
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
2075
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
2076
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
2077
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
2078
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
2079
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2084
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
2085
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
2086
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
2087
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
2088
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
2091
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
2094
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
2095
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2097
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
2098
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
2099
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
2100
directory, not just the directory object itself.
2101
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
2103
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
2104
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
2106
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
2109
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
2110
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
2111
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
2112
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
2115
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
2116
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
2117
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
2118
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
2119
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2121
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
2122
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
2125
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
2131
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
2132
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
2133
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
2135
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
2136
the data when the target repository does not need topological
2137
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
2138
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
2139
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2141
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
2142
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
2145
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
2146
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
2147
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
2149
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
2152
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
2155
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
2156
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2158
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2159
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2161
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
2162
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
2164
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
2165
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
2168
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
2169
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
2170
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2172
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
2173
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
2174
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
2177
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
2178
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
2179
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
2180
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
2182
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
2183
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
2184
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
2185
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
2186
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
2187
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
2188
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
2189
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
2190
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2192
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
2198
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2199
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2200
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2201
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2202
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2203
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2204
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2206
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2207
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2209
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
2210
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
2211
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
2212
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
2214
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
2215
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
2217
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
2219
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2222
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2223
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2224
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2226
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2227
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2229
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
2230
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
2232
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
2233
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
2234
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
2236
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
2237
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
2238
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
2239
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2241
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2243
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
2244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
2246
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
2247
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
2248
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
2249
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
2250
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
2252
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2253
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2254
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2255
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2256
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2257
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2258
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2260
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
2261
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
2263
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
2264
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
2267
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
2268
(James Westby, #341558)
2270
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
2271
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
2273
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
2274
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
2279
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
2281
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
2283
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
2284
(James Westby, #336998)
2289
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
2292
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
2293
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
2296
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
2297
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
2300
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
2301
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
2302
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
2304
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
2305
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
2306
Meinel, Robert Collins)
2308
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
2309
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
2310
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
2311
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
2314
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
2315
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
2318
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
2321
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
2322
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2324
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2325
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2326
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2327
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2329
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
2330
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
2331
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
2336
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
2337
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
2338
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
2339
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
2340
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2342
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
2343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
2345
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
2346
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
2347
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
2348
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
2354
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
2355
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2357
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
2358
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2360
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
2361
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
2362
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2364
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
2365
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
2366
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
2367
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2369
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
2370
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
2371
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
2372
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2374
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
2375
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
2376
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2378
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
2379
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
2380
dependency. (Robert Collins)
2382
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
2383
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
2384
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2386
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
2387
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
2390
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
2391
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
2392
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
2394
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
2395
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2397
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
2398
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
2399
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2401
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
2402
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
2405
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
2406
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2407
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2409
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2410
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2411
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2412
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2413
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2415
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2416
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2417
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2418
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2420
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2421
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2422
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2423
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2425
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2426
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2427
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2429
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2430
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2433
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2434
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2435
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2437
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2438
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2439
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
2440
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
2441
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
2443
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
2444
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
2445
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
2448
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
2449
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
2450
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
2451
desired. (Robert Collins)
2453
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
2454
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
2455
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
2456
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2458
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
2459
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
2460
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
2477
*****************************
2479
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
2480
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
2481
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
2482
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
2483
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
2484
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
2490
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
2491
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
2492
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2494
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
2495
********************************
2497
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
2498
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
2499
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
2504
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
2505
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
2507
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
2508
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
2510
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
2511
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
2513
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2515
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
2516
*********************************
2518
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2519
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2520
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2522
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2523
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2525
Compatibility Breaks
2526
********************
2528
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
2529
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
2530
command may need to be adjusted.
2531
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2536
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2537
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2538
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2540
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2543
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2544
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2545
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2548
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2549
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2551
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2552
(John Arbash Meinel)
2554
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2555
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2557
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
2559
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2560
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2563
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2569
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2570
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2571
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2572
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2573
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2574
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2575
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2576
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2579
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2580
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2582
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2583
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
2584
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
2586
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2587
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2589
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2590
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2591
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2594
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2595
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2596
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2598
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2599
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2600
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2601
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2603
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2606
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2607
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2609
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2610
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2612
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2613
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2614
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2616
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2621
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2622
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2624
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2625
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2626
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2628
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2629
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2630
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2632
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2633
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2635
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2636
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2639
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2640
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2641
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2643
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2644
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2646
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2647
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2649
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2650
(James Westby, #174539)
2652
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2653
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2655
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2656
error branching from old repositories.
2657
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2659
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2660
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2662
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2663
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2664
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2665
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2667
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2668
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2671
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2672
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2674
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2675
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2677
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2678
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2679
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2681
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2682
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2684
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2685
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2690
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2691
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2692
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2695
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2696
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2698
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2699
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2704
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2705
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2706
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2707
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2708
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2710
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2711
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2713
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2714
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2715
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2716
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2717
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2718
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2720
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2721
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2723
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2724
"author" argument being deprecated.
2726
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2728
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2729
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2730
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2731
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2733
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2734
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2735
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2737
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2738
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2739
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2741
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2742
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2744
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2745
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2746
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2747
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2752
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2753
free of virtual file system methods.
2754
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2756
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2757
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2758
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2760
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2761
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2762
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2763
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2764
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2765
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2767
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2769
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2770
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2772
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2773
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2774
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2775
stream the operation.
2776
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2778
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2779
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2781
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2782
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2783
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2784
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2785
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2787
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2788
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2790
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2791
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2792
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2794
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2795
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2798
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2801
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2802
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2803
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2805
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2806
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2807
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2809
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2810
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2811
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2813
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2814
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2815
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2817
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2818
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2819
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2820
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2821
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2823
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2824
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2825
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2826
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2827
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2828
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2830
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2831
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2832
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2833
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2834
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2836
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2837
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2839
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2840
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2842
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2843
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2844
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2845
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2846
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2848
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2849
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

2860
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2861
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2862
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2863
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2864
by showing the rate of network IO.

* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2870
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2872
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2873
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2875
Compatibility Breaks
2876
********************
2878
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2879
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2880
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2881
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2883
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2884
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2885
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2888
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2889
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2890
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2891
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2893
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2894
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2895
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2898
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2903
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2904
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2905
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2908
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2909
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2910
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2912
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2913
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2914
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2915
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2916
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2917
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2918
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2919
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2920
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2926
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2929
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2932
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2933
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2934
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2936
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2937
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2938
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2939
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2940
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2942
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2943
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2945
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2946
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2947
level for better precision.
2950
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2951
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2953
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2954
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2955
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2957
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2958
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2959
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2962
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2963
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2964
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2969
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2971
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2973
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2974
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2975
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2977
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2978
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2979
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2980
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2981
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2982
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2984
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2985
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2987
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2988
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2990
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2991
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2992
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2994
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2995
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2996
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2999
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
3000
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
3002
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
3003
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
3004
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
3005
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
3007
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
3008
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
3010
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3012
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
3017
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3022
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
3023
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
3026
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
3027
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3029
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
3030
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3032
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
3033
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3035
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
3036
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
3037
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
3038
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
3040
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
3041
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
3042
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
3047
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
3048
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
3049
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
3050
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
3051
compile buffers, are such an example).
3054
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
3055
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
3058
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
3059
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
3060
efficient way of doing the mapping.
3063
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
3064
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
3066
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
3067
formatters to retrict the output.
3074
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3075
:Released: 2009-01-19
3077
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
3078
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
3079
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
3080
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
3081
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
3083
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
3084
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
3087
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
3088
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
3093
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
3096
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
3097
(John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3105
:Released: 2009-01-09
3110
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
3111
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3116
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
3117
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
3119
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
3120
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
3121
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
3122
implement other plugins.
3125
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
3131
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
3132
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
3134
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
3135
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
3137
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
3138
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
3139
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
3140
processes which drag in shell extensions.
3143
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
3144
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
3145
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
3146
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
3147
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
3149
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
3150
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
3151
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
3152
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
3153
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
3158
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
3159
control directory. (#139691)
3161
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
3162
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
3164
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
3165
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
3167
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
3168
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
3169
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
3171
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
3172
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
3174
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
3175
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3176
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3178
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
3179
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
3181
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
3184
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
3185
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
3186
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
3188
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
3189
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
3191
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
3192
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
3193
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
3195
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
3196
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
3197
in the appropriate sections.
3198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
3200
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
3201
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
3202
(John Arbash meinel)
3204
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
3205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
3207
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
3208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
3210
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
3211
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3213
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
3214
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
3215
work better with how it splits its requests.
3216
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
3218
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3219
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3220
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3222
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
3225
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
3227
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
3228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
3230
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
3236
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
3237
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
3238
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
3244
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
3245
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
3246
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
3247
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3249
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
3250
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
3252
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
3253
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
3254
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
3255
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
3257
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
3258
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
3259
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
3260
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3265
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
3266
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
3267
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
3269
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
3270
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
3271
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
3272
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
3274
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
3275
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
3276
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
3282
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
3283
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
3284
(John Arbash Meinel)
3286
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
3287
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
3288
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
3289
(John Arbash Meinel)
3291
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
3292
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
3293
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
3294
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
3296
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
3297
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
3298
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
3300
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
3301
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
3302
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
3303
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
3305
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
3306
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
3307
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
3308
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
3309
(John Arbash Meinel)
3311
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
3312
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
3314
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
3315
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
3316
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
3318
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
3319
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
3320
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
3321
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
3323
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
3324
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3325
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3326
(John Arbash Meinel)
3328
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
3329
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
3330
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
3331
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
3332
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
3333
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
3334
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3336
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
3337
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
3344
:Released: 2008-12-05
3346
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
3347
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
3348
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
3349
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
3352
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
3357
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
3358
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
3359
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
3360
(Martin Pool, #303856)
3362
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
3363
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
3364
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
3365
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
3366
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
3372
:Released: 2008-11-28
3374
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
3375
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
3376
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
3377
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
3378
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
3383
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
3384
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3386
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
3392
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
3393
history just to set the last revision info.
3394
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3396
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
3397
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
3398
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
3399
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3401
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
3402
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
3403
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
3404
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
3405
(John Arbash Meinel)
3407
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3408
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3410
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3411
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3412
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3413
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3414
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3416
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3417
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3418
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3419
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3424
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3425
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3427
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3428
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3430
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3431
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3432
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3433
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3435
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3436
starting with a dotted revno.
3437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3439
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
3440
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
3441
(Martin Pool, #288751)
3443
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3444
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3445
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3447
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
3448
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
3449
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
3451
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
3452
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
3453
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
3454
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
3456
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
3457
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
3458
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
3460
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
3461
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
3466
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
3467
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
3468
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
3469
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
3471
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
3472
have changed incompatibly.
3474
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
3475
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
3476
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
3477
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
3478
don't need to change.
3480
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
3481
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
3486
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
3487
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
3489
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
3495
:Released: 2008-11-07
3497
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
3498
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
3499
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
3500
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
3501
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
3502
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
3507
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
3508
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
3510
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
3512
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
3513
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
3514
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
3520
:Released: 2008-10-31
3525
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
3526
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
3528
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
3529
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
3530
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
3531
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
3536
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3537
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3538
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3539
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3540
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3541
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3543
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3544
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3546
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3547
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3548
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3550
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3551
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3552
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3555
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3556
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3558
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3559
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3561
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3562
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3564
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3565
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3566
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3567
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3568
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3569
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3570
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3571
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3572
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3573
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3578
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3579
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3581
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3582
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3584
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3585
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3586
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3588
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3589
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3590
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3592
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3593
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3594
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3596
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3597
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3598
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3599
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3600
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3601
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3603
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3604
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3606
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3607
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3609
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3610
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3611
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3612
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3613
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3615
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3616
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3617
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3618
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3623
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3628
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3633
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3634
configuration of authetication credentials.
3640
:Released: 2008-10-16
3642
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3643
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3644
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3645
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3646
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3651
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3652
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3657
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3658
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3664
:Released: 2008-10-07
3669
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3670
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3671
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3672
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3673
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3675
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3676
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3678
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3679
server. (Marius Kruger)
3681
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3682
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3683
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3684
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3685
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3686
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3691
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3692
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3693
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3700
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3701
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3702
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3703
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3705
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3706
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3709
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3710
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3713
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3716
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3718
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3719
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3721
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3722
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3724
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3725
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3726
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3727
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3728
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3729
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3730
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3731
operations. (Robert Collins)
3733
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3735
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3736
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3737
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3742
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3743
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3744
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3746
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3747
repository now preserves the repository format.
3748
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3750
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3751
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3753
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3756
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3760
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3763
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3764
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3765
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3767
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3768
is in a different repository than the current one.
3769
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3771
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3772
(David Futcher, #242106)
3774
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3775
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3777
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3778
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3779
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3780
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3782
* Trivial documentation fix.
3783
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3785
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3786
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3787
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3788
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3793
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3798
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3799
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3800
to use. (Robert Collins)
3802
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3803
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3804
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3806
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3807
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3808
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3809
they want. (Robert Collins)
3814
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3815
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3816
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3818
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3819
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3822
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3825
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3826
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3828
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3834
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3835
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3837
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3838
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3839
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3841
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3842
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3843
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3845
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3846
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3848
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3849
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3851
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3852
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3854
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3855
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3856
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3857
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
3865

3867
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
3873
:Released: 2008-09-24
3875
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3876
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3881
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3882
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3883
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3884
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
3885
(John Arbash Meinel)
3891
:Released: 2008-09-23
3893
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3894
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3895
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3896
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3897
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3898
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3903
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
3904
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
3905
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
3911
:Released: 2008-09-17
3913
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3914
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3915
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3916
connect to the stacked-on location.
3921
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3922
repository now preserves the repository format.
3923
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3925
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3926
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3928
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3931
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3938
:Released: 2008-09-09
3940
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3941
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3942
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3943
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3944
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3945
it in a future repository format.
3951
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3954
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3955
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3956
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3958
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3959
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3960
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3965
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3966
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3968
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3973
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3974
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3977
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3978
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3980
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3981
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3984
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3985
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3986
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3987
(John Arbash Meinel)
3989
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3990
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3992
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3993
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3994
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3995
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3996
(John Arbash Meinel)
3998
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3999
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
4000
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
4001
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
4002
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
4003
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
4004
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
4005
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
4006
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
4007
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4012
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
4013
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
4015
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
4016
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
4017
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
4019
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
4020
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
4021
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
4023
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
4024
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
4025
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
4026
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
4027
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
4028
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
4030
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
4031
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
4033
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
4034
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
4036
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
4037
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
4038
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
4039
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
4040
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
4041
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
4043
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
4044
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
4046
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
4047
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
4049
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
4050
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
4051
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
4052
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
4054
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
4055
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
4057
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
4058
assuming the host name is ascii.
4059
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
4061
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
4062
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
4067
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4072
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
4074
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
4075
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
4076
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
4079
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
4080
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4082
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
4083
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4085
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
4086
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4091
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
4092
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
4093
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
4094
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
4096
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
4100
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
4101
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
4102
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4104
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
4110
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
4111
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
4114
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
4115
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
4116
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
4117
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
4118
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4120
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
4121
is unknown in both source and target.
4122
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
4124
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
4125
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
4126
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
4127
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4129
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
4130
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
4131
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
4132
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

4140
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
4141
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
4142
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
4148
:Released: 2008-09-03
4153
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
4154
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
4155
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
4156
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
4162
:Released: 2008-08-29
4164
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
4165
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
4166
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
4167
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
4168
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
4169
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
4170
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
4171
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
4172
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
4173
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
4174
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
4175
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
4180
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
4181
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
4182
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
4183
start of the string (causing more copies).
4184
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
4185
especially for projects with large files.
4186
(John Arbash Meinel)
4188
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
4189
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
4190
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
4191
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
4192
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
4194
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
4195
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
4196
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
4197
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
4198
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
4207
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
4208
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
4209
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
4210
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
4211
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
4212
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
4213
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
4214
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
4215
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
4221
:Released: 2008-08-19
4226
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
4227
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
4228
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
4229
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
4230
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
4236
:Released: 2008-08-18
4241
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
4242
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
4243
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
4249
:Released: 2008-08-14
4254
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
4255
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
4261
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
4262
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
4263
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
4269
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
4270
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
4271
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
4273
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
4274
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
4275
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
4276
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
4277
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
4278
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
4279
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
4285
:Released: 2008-08-13
4287
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
4293
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
4294
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
4296
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
4297
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
4300
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
4301
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
4302
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
4303
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
4304
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
4306
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
4307
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4309
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
4310
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
4312
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
4313
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
4315
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
4316
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
4317
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
4318
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
4319
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
4320
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
4326
:Released: 2008-08-06
4328
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
4329
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
4330
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
4331
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
4332
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
4337
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
4338
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
4339
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
4344
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
4345
check. (Daniel Watkins)
4347
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
4348
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
4350
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
4351
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
4352
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4354
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
4357
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
4358
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
4359
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
4360
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
4361
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
4362
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
4363
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4365
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
4366
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
4367
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
4372
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
4373
physical repository boundaries.
4374
(Martin Pool, #252428)
4376
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
4377
(Martin Pool, #206258)
4379
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
4380
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
4383
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
4386
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
4387
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
4388
that Python is running from.
4389
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
4391
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
4392
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
4393
(Robert Collins, #150438)
4395
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
4396
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
4398
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
4399
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
4400
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
4402
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
4403
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
4405
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
4406
(James Westby, #248448)
4411
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4412
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4413
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4416
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4417
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4420
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4421
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4422
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4423
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4424
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4425
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4428
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4429
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4431
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4432
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4433
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4434
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4435
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4436
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
4441
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
4442
putting together a real history without having to create a full
4443
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
4444
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
4445
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
4446
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4448
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
4449
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
4450
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
4452
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
4455
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
4456
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
4458
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
4465
:Released: 2008-07-17
4467
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
4468
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
4469
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
4470
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
4476
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
4477
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
4478
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
4480
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
4481
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
4482
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
4483
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
4484
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
4487
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
4489
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
4490
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
4491
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
4497
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
4498
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
4501
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
4502
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
4503
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
4504
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
4506
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
4507
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
4508
(Christophe Troestler)
4510
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
4511
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
4513
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
4514
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
4515
faster. The new request method name is
4516
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4521
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
4522
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
4523
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
4524
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
4525
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
4527
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
4528
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
4530
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
4531
requires a branch to be present.
4532
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
4534
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
4536
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4538
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4539
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4540
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4541
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4543
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4544
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4546
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4548
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4550
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4551
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4552
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4553
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4554
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4556
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4557
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4559
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4560
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4562
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4564
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4566
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4567
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4569
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4570
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4575
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4578
* Updated developer documentation.
4584
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4585
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4587
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4588
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4589
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4590
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4595
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4596
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4597
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4598
Repository docstring for more details.
4601
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4602
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4603
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4605
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4606
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4609
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4610
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4611
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4612
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4617
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4618
(Alexander Belchenko)
4620
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4621
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4622
containing a given location.
4625
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4626
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4627
storage. (Robert Collins)
4629
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4632
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4633
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
4640
:Released: 2008-06-10
4642
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
4643
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
4644
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
4650
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
4651
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
4652
reading from the repository.)
4653
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
4655
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4656
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4658
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4659
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4662
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4663
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4664
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4666
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4667
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4668
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4670
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4671
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
4673
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4674
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4675
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4676
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4681
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)

* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4684
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4685
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4688
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4689
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4694
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4699
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4700
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4705
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4706
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4707
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4708
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4709
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4711
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4712
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4717
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4718
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4720
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4721
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4726
:Released: 2008-06-02
4728
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4729
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4730
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4731
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4732
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4733
and future extensions.
4736
Notes When Upgrading
4737
********************
4739
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4740
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4741
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4742
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4743
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4744
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4745
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4746
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4751
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4752
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4753
(John Arbash Meinel)
4758
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4759
load. (James Westby)
4764
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4765
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4766
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4767
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4769
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4770
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4771
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4773
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4774
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4776
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4777
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4778
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4780
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4781
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4782
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4783
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4784
step closer to not using full revision history.
4785
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4790
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4791
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4793
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4794
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4796
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4797
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4799
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4800
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4801
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4802
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4804
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4805
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4806
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4807
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4809
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4810
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4811
in use by another process.
4814
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4815
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4816
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4817
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4819
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4820
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4822
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4823
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4824
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4826
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4827
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4830
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4834
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4835
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4837
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4838
under vim on Mac OS X.
4839
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4841
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4842
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4847
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4848
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4850
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4851
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4854
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4855
and about use of Python reprs.
4856
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4858
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4863
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4866
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4867
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4869
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4870
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4875
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4876
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4877
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4878
(John Arbash Meinel)
4883
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4884
instead. (Martin Pool)
4886
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4887
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4888
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4889
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4891
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4892
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4893
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4894
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4895
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4897
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4898
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4899
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4900
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4901
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4902
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4904
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4905
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4908
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4909
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4912
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4913
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4914
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4915
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4917
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4918
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4919
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4921
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4922
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4923
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4924
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4925
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4928
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4929
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4930
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4931
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4934
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4935
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4936
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4937
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4938
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4940
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4947
:Released: 2008-05-16
4949
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4950
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4951
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4956
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4957
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4958
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4963
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4964
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4971
:Released: 2008-05-09
4976
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4977
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4978
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4979
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4984
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4985
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4987
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4988
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4990
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4996
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4997
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4999
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
5000
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
5002
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
5003
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
5004
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
5006
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5007
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5008
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5010
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
5013
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
5014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
5016
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
5017
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
5019
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
5020
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
5022
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
5023
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
5025
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
5026
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
5027
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
5029
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
5030
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
5032
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5033
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
5035
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5036
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5037
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5038
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
5040
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
5041
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
5044
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
5045
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
5046
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
5048
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5049
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5050
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5051
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
5052
every revision each side had in common.
5053
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5055
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
5056
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5058
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
5059
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
5060
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
5061
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
5066
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
5067
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
5068
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
5069
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
5071
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
5073
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
5075
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
5076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
5081
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
5082
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
5083
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
5085
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
5086
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
5087
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
5088
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5090
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
5091
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5093
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
5094
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
5095
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
5096
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5098
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
5099
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
5100
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
5101
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5106
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
5107
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
5108
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
5110
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
5112
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
5113
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
5115
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5116
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5118
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
5119
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
5124
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
5125
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
5126
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
5128
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
5129
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
5130
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
5133
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
5134
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
5137
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
5144
:Released: 2008-04-28
5146
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
5147
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
5148
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
5149
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
5150
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
5151
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
5152
and faster performance.
5157
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5158
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5159
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5160

5166
:Released: 2008-04-21
5171
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5172
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5173
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5175
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
5176
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5178
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5179
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
5181
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5182
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5183
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5184
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

5197
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
5199
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
5200
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
5202
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
5203
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
5204
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5206
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
5207
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
5208
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
5209
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
5210
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
5211
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
5214
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
5215
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
5216
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
5217
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
5222
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
5224
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
5225
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
5226
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
5228
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
5229
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
5230
See the User Reference for signature details.
5231
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
5233
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
5234
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
5239
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
5240
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
5241
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
5242
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5244
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
5245
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
5247
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
5248
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
5249
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
5252
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
5255
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
5256
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
5257
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
5259
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
5262
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
5263
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
5265
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
5266
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
5268
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
5269
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
5270
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
5272
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
5273
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
5274
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
5275
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
5276
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
5278
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
5279
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
5281
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
5282
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5287
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
5288
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
5289
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
5290
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
5291
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
5292
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
5294
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
5295
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
5297
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
5298
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
5299
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
5301
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
5302
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
5304
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
5305
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
5306
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
5307
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5309
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
5310
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
5311
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
5312
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
5313
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
5315
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
5317
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
5318
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
5320
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
5322
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
5323
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
5325
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
5326
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
5331
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
5333
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
5335
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5337
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
5342
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
5343
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
5344
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
5346
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
5347
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
5348
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
5349
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
5351
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
5352
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
5353
release. (James Westby)
5355
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
5358
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
5360
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
5361
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5363
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
5364
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5366
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
5367
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
5369
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
5370
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
5371
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
5373
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
5374
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
5375
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
5376
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
5378
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
5379
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
5380
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
5381
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
5383
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
5384
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
5385
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
5386
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
5387
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
5388
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
5390
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
5391
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
5392
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
5394
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
5395
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5397
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
5398
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
5401
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
5402
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
5404
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
5405
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
5407
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
5408
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
5410
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5411
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
5412
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
5414
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
5415
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
5416
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
5417
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
5418
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
5419
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
5424
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
5425
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
5426
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
5427
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
5429
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
5430
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
5431
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
5432
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
5436
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
5437
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
5440
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
5441
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
5443
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
5445
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
5446
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
5447
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
5452
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5454
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
5457
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
5458
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
5459
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
5460
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
5461
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
5462
(Martin Pool, #109520)
5464
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
5465
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
5467
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
5468
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
5469
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
5470
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
5472
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
5473
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
5475
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
5476
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

No changes from 1.3.1rc1.

Notes When Upgrading
5526
********************
5528
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
5529
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
5534
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
5535
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
5536
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5537
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5540
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5541
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5542
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5543
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
5544
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5545
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5547
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5548
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5549
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5550
(Alexander Belchenko)
5552
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5554
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5555
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5560
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5561
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5563
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5564
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5570
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5572
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5574
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5575
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5576
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5578
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5579
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5581
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5582
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5584
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5585
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5586
(Alexander Belchenko)
5588
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5589
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5590
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5591
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5593
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5596
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5597
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5598
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5599
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5600
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5605
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5606
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5607
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5608
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5610
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5611
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5613
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5614
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
5616
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
5617
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
5618
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
5620
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
5621
(#198793, John Ferlito)
5623
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
5626
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
5627
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
5629
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
5631
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
5633
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
5634
symlinks (James Henstridge)
5636
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
5637
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
5639
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
5640
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
5642
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
5643
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
5645
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
5646
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
5648
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
5649
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
5654
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
5655
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5660
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5661
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5662
(Alexander Belchenko)
5667
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5669
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5670
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5676
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5677
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5678
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5680
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5681
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5682
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5683
(Alexander Belchenko)
5685
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5686
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5687
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5688
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5690
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5691
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5692
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5695
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5696
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5697
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5699
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5700
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5701
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5703
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5704
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5705
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5706
format. (Robert Collins)
5712

5717
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

:Released: 2008-02-13
5725
Notes When Upgrading
5726
********************
5728
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5729
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5730
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5731
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5732
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5738
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5739
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5741
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5742
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5743
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5745
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5746
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5747
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5748
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5749
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5750
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5756
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5757
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5759
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5760
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5761
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5764
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5765
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5766
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5767
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5768
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5770
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5771
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5772
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5773
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5774
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5775
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5776
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5777
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5782
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5783
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5785
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5786
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5788
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5789
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5791
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5792
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5793
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5795
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5796
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5797
(John Arbash Meinel)
5802
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5803
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5805
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5806
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5808
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5809
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5811
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5812
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5813
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5815
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5816
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5817
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5819
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5820
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5822
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5823
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5824
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5825
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5826
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5828
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5830
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5831
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5834
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5835
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5837
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5838
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5840
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
5843
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5844
more characters which should be considered valid.
5845
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5847
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5848
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5850
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5851
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5856
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5857
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5859
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5860
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5866
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5867
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5873
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5874
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5875
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5877
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5878
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5879
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5881
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5882
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5883
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5884
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5886
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5888
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5889
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5890
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5891
server. (Robert Collins)
5893
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5894
operate. (Robert Collins)
5896
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5897
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5898
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5900
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5901
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5902
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5903
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5905
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5906
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5908
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5909
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5910
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5912
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5913
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5915
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5916
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5918
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5919
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5920
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5921
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

5939
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5940
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5941
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5942
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5944
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5945
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5946
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5947
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5952
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5955
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5958
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5959
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5964
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5967
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5968
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5969
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5971
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5973
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5974
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5975
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5976
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5977
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5979
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5980
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5981
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5983
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5984
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5986
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5989
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5991
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5993
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5996
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5997
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
6002
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
6003
(Martin Pool, #180208)
6005
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
6006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
6008
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
6011
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
6012
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
6014
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
6015
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
6017
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
6018
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6020
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
6021
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
6023
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
6024
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
6025
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
6027
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
6028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
6030
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
6031
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
6034
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
6036
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
6037
user:pass embedded in the urls.
6038
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
6040
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
6041
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
6043
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
6046
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
6049
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
6050
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
6052
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
6055
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
6056
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
6059
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
6060
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
6061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
6066
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
6069
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
6070
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
6071
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
6072
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
6073
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
6074
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
6076
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
6081
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
6084
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
6085
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
6087
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
6089
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
6090
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
6091
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
6094
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
6095
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6097
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
6106
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
6107
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
6108
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
6110
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
6111
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
6114
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
6115
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
6117
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
6118
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6120
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
6121
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6123
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
6124
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
6125
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6127
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
6128
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
6130
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
6131
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6133
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
6134
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
6137
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
6138
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
6140
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
6141
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
6147
:Released: 2007-12-14
6152
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6154
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
6157
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
6159
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
6160
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
6167
:Released: 2007-12-11
6172
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
6173
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
6174
by mail to the mailing list.
6180
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
6182
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
6183
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
6184
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
6185
feedback but also incur more latency.
6186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
6188
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
6189
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
6194
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6196
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
6202
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
6203
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
6204
wraps its output in a StringIO.
6211
:Released: 2007-12-07
6216
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6218
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
6221
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
6224
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
6225
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
6226
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
6227
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6229
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
6232
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
6233
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
6235
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
6236
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
6237
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
6239
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
6240
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
6241
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
6242
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
6243
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
6244
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
6245
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
6246
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
6247
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
6252
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
6255
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
6260
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
6261
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
6263
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
6265
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
6267
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
6268
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
6270
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
6272
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.

(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
6275
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
6276
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
6282
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
6291
********************
6293
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
6294
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
6295
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
6296
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
6298
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
6299
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
6301
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
6302
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
6304
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
6305
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
6306
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
6307
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
6308
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
6309
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
6310
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
6311
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
6312
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
6313
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
6314
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
6315
from any tree without problems.
6316
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
6321
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
6322
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
6323
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
6325
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
6326
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
6332
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
6333
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
6334
supported transports.
6337
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
6338
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
6339
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
6341
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
6342
(Robert Collins, #154173)
6344
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
6345
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
6346
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
6347
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
6349
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
6350
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
6355
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
6356
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
6357
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
6358
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6360
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
6361
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
6362
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
6363
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
6365
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
6366
(Robert Collins, #88319)
6368
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
6369
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
6371
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
6372
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
6374
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
6375
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
6381
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
6384
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
6385
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
6388
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
6389
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
6390
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
6391
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
6393
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
6394
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
6395
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
6396
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
6404
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
6405
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6407
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6408
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6410
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6411
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6413
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6416
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6417
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6419
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6420
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6422
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6423
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6425
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6428
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6431
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6432
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6435
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6436
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
6438
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6439
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
6441
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
6442
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
6444
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
6445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
6447
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
6448
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
6449
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
6450
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
6452
(Martin Pool, #164637)
6454
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
6455
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
6456
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
6458
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
6459
(Robert Collins, #161240)
6461
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
6463
(Martin Pool, #164443)
6465
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
6466
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
6468
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
6469
specify a port in urls.
6470
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
6472
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
6473
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
6475
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
6476
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
6478
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
6479
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
6481
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
6482
(Robert Collins, #153789)
6484
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
6485
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
6486
(Robert Collins, #165304).
6488
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
6490
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
6491
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
6493
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
6496
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
6497
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
6499
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
6500
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
6502
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
6503
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
6504
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
6506
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
6507
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
6509
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
6510
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
6511
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
6512
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
6514
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
6515
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
6517
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
6518
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
6519
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
6521
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
6522
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
6524
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
6525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
6527
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
6528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
6533
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
6534
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
6536
* The return value of
6537
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6538
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6539
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6540
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6542
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6545
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6546
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6553
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6554
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6555
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6558
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6559
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6561
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6567
:Released: 2007-11-05
6572
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
6578
:Released: 2007-10-29
6583
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6584
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6586
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6587
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6588
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6589
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6590
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6591
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6592
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6593
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6594
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6595
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6596
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6597
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6603
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6604
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6605
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6606
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6607
commands. (Robert Collins)
6609
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6610
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6611
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6614
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6616
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6617
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6619
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6620
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6623
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6624
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6625
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6630
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6631
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6633
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6634
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6636
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6637
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6638
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6639
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6641
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6644
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6645
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6646
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6647
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6649
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6650
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6652
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6653
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6655
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6656
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6658
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6659
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6664
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6665
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6667
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6668
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6670
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6671
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6673
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6674
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6676
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6677
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6682
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6684
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6690
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6691
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6692
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6694
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6695
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6697
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6698
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6700
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6701
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6702
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6703
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6705
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6706
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6707
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6708
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6709
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6711
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6712
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6716
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6718
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6719
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6721
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6724
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6727
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6728
contains a symbolic link.
6729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6731
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6732
(James Westby, #140615)
6734
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6735
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6736
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6738
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6739
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6740
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6742
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6744
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6745
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6747
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6751
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6752
directory to detect leaking tests.
6753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6755
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6756
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6757
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6759
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6762
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6763
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6765
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6771
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6772
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6774
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6775
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6776
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6778
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6779
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6780
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6782
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6783
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6785
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6786
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6788
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6789
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6792
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6793
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6795
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6796
class that needs it.
6799
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6800
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6802
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6803
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6804
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6806
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6807
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6808
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6811
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6812
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6813
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6814
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6820
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6821
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6822
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6824
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6825
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6826
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6827
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6829
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6830
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6833
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6834
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6835
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6837
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6838
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6839
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6841
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6842
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6844
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6845
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6846
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6848
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6849
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6851
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6852
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6853
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6855
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6856
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6857
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6859
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6860
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6861
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6862
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6864
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6865
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6866
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6867
returned. (Robert Collins)
6869
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6870
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6872
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6873
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6874
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6875
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6878
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6879
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6884
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6885
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6887
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6888
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6889
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6890
makes this behavior available to other users.
6893
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6894
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6900
:Released: 2007-09-26
6905
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6906
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6907
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6909
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6911
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6912
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6913
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6914
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6916
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6917
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6924
:Released: 2007-09-11
6926
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6927
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6933
:Released: 2007-09-11
6938
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6939
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6940
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6941
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6944
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6945
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6946
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6952
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6953
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6954
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6957
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6958
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6959
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6961
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6962
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6963
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6965
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6966
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6968
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6969
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6970
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6971
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6972
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6973
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6974
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6975
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6976
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6977
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6979
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6980
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6982
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6983
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6984
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6989
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6990
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6992
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6993
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6994
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6996
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6997
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6999
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
7000
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
7002
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
7005
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
7006
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
7008
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
7009
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
7011
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
7012
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7014
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
7015
(Blake Winton, #129299)
7017
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
7019
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
7022
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
7023
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
7024
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
7025
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
7027
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7029
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
7030
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
7033
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
7034
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
7036
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
7037
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
7040
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
7041
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
7043
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
7044
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
7046
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
7047
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
7048
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
7049
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
7050
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
7051
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
7052
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
7054
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
7055
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
7057
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
7058
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
7060
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
7061
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
7063
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
7064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
7066
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
7068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
7070
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
7071
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
7073
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
7074
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
7075
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
7077
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7078
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7079
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7084
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
7085
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7087
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
7090
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
7093
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
7094
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7096
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
7098
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.

* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
7102
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
7104
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
7105
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
7106
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
7107
space). (Robert Collins)
7109
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
7110
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
7113
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
7114
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7116
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
7117
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
7119
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
7120
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
7121
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
7122
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
7124
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
7125
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
7126
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
7129
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
7132
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
7133
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
7134
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
7136
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
7137
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
7138
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
7139
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
7140
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
7145
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
7146
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
7148
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
7149
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
7150
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
7151
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
7152
affected. (Robert Collins)
7154
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
7155
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
7156
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
7159
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7160
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7165
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
7166
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
7168
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
7169
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7171
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7172
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7174
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
7177
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
7178
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7183
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
7184
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
7185
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
7186
its version information. (Robert Collins)
7188
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
7189
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7191
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
7192
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
7193
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
7194
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7196
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
7197
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
7198
present. (Robert Collins)
7200
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
7201
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
7202
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
7203
API. (Robert Collins)
7205
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
7206
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
7209
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
7210
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
7212
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
7213
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
7214
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
7215
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
7216
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
7217
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
7219
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
7220
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
7221
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
7223
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
7224
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
7225
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
7226
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
7229
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
7232
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
7233
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
7234
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
7235
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
7236
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
7237
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
7238
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
7240
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
7241
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
7242
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
7243
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
7245
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
7246
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
7247
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
7248
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
7249
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
7250
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
7252
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
7253
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
7254
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
7256
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
7257
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7263
:Released: 2007-08-28
7268
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
7269
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
7270
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
7271
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
7272
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
7273
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
7274
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
7275
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
7281
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
7282
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
7283
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
7289
:Released: 2007-08-14
7294
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
7295
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7296
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
7297
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
7298
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
7300
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
7301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
7303
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
7305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
7307
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
7308
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
7311
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
7312
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
7315
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
7318
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
7319
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
7321
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
7322
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
7324
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7325
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7327
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7328
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
7330
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
7331
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
7333
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
7339
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
7340
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
7342
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
7343
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
7345
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
7346
the repository (Robert Collins)
7348
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
7349
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
7350
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
7351
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
7352
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
7354
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
7355
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7357
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
7358
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
7359
(John Arbash Meinel)
7361
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
7362
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
7363
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
7365
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
7366
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
7367
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
7368
(John Arbash Meinel)
7370
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
7371
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
7374
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
7375
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
7377
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
7380
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
7382
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
7384
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
7385
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
7387
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
7388
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
7391
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
7392
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
7393
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
7394
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7396
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
7397
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
7398
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
7400
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
7401
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
7402
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
7404
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
7405
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7407
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7408
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7409
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7410
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7411
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7412
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7415
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7416
(Alexander Belchenko)
7418
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7419
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7421
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7422
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7424
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7426
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7427
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7432
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7433
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7434
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7435
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7437
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7439
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
7442
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
7443
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
7444
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
7445
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
7446
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
7447
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
7452
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
7453
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
7454
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
7455
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
7457
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
7458
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
7459
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
7460
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
7461
tests have been refactored too.
7464
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
7465
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
7466
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
7470
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
7471
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
7472
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7474
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
7475
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
7476
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
7477
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
7478
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
7479
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
7480
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
7482
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
7483
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
7484
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
7485
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
7486
(John Arbash Meinel)
7488
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
7489
functionality for testing.
7491
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
7493
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
7494
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7496
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
7498
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
7501
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
7502
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
7504
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
7505
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
7506
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
7508
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
7511
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
7512
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
7514
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
7515
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
7516
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
7517
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
7519
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
7520
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
7522
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
7523
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
7524
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
7526
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
7529
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
7530
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
7531
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
7532
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
7533
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
7534
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
7536
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7537
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7538
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7539
many files. (Robert Collins)
7541
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7542
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7543
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7544
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7549
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7550
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7551
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7553
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7554
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7556
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7557
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7558
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7564
:Released: 2007-07-17
7569
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
7575
:Released: 2007-07-10
7580
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
7581
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7583
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
7584
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
7585
(James Westby, #122656)
7587
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7588
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
7590
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7591
authentication header.
7592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
7594
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
7596
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
7597
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
7599
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
7601
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
7602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
7604
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
7605
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
7606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
7608
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
7609
individually and as part of revision ranges.
7610
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
7612
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
7613
(Martin Pool, #109169)
7615
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
7616
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
7618
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
7619
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
7621
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7623
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7628
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7629
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7630
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7631
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7632
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7633
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7635
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7636
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7637
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7639
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7642
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7643
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7645
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7646
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7648
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7649
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7651
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7652
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7653
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7654
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7655
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7657
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7658
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7660
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7661
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7662
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7664
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7665
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7667
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)

* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7670
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7672
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7673
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7676
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7679
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7680
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7682
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7683
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7685
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7686
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7688
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7690
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7691
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7693
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7699
* Testing cleanups -
7700
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7701
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7702
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7703
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7704
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7705
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7706
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7707
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7708
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7709
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7710
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7711
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
7712
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7713
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
7714
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7715
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7716
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7719
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7721
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7722
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7723
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7725
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7726
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7728
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7729
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7731
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7733
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7734
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7735
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7736
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7737
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7738
same location. (Robert Collins)
7743
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7745
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7747
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7749
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7752
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7755
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7756
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7757
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7759
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7761
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7762
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7763
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7765
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7766
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7768
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7769
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7770
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7772
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7773
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7774
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7776
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7777
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7778
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7780
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7781
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7784
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7785
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7787
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7788
(Alexander Belchenko)
7793
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7794
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7795
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7796
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7798
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7799
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7800
testing. (Robert Collins)
7802
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7803
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7805
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7806
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7807
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7808
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7809
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7810
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7811
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7813
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7814
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7815
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7816
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7818
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7819
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7821
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7822
avoid useless cloning.
7823
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
7829
:Released: 2007-06-18
7834
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
7835
(Colin Watson, #120647)
7837
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
7838

Notes When Upgrading
7847
********************
7849
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7850
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7851
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7852
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7853
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7854
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7855
and unlock() like so::
7857
work_tree.lock_read()
7859
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7865
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7866
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7868
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7869
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7870
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7872
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7873
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7874
too. (Robert Collins)
7879
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7880
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7883
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7884
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7886
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7887
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7889
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7890
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7891
understanding what changes have occurred
7892
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7894
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7895
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7896
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7898
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7899
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7900
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7901
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7903
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7909
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7910
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7911
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7912
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7913
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7915
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7916
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7917
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7919
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7922
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7926
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7927
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7929
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7930
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7932
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7933
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7935
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7936
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7938
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7939
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7941
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7942
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7943
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7948
:Released: 2007-05-07
7953
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7954
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7955
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7956
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7957
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7959
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7960
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7961
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7963
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7964
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7969
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7970
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7971
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7973
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7974
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7975
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7976
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7981
:Released: 2007-04-30
7986
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7987
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7988
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7989
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7991
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7992
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7993
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7995
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7996
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7998
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7999
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
8001
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
8002
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
8007
:Released: 2007-04-26
8009
Notes When Upgrading
8010
********************
8012
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
8013
it could be recovered again.
8014
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8015
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
8016
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
8018
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
8020
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
8021
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
8026
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
8027
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8029
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
8030
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
8031
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
8032
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
8034
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
8035
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
8037
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
8038
tests with names that match that regular expression.
8039
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
8041
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
8042
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
8043
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
8045
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
8046
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
8047
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
8049
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
8050
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
8053
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
8056
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
8057
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
8058
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
8059
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
8061
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
8064
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
8065
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
8066
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
8069
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
8070
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
8072
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
8073
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
8075
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
8076
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
8077
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
8078
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
8081
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
8082
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
8084
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
8085
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8087
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
8088
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
8089
(Robert Collins, #107125).
8091
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
8092
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
8093
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
8095
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
8096
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
8097
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8099
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
8100
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
8101
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
8102
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
8104
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
8105
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
8106
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
8107
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
8109
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
8110
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
8111
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
8112
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
8113
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
8114
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
8115
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
8116
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
8123
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
8124
code paths. (Robert Collins)
8126
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
8127
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
8128
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
8129
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
8130
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8132
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
8133
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
8135
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
8136
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
8138
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
8139
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
8141
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
8142
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
8144
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
8145
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
8146
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
8149
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
8150
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
8151
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
8152
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
8153
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
8156
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
8157
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
8158
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
8160
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
8161
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
8164
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
8165
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
8166
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
8169
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
8170
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
8171
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
8172
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
8173
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
8175
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
8176
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
8177
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
8178
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8180
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
8181
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8183
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
8184
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
8185
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
8186
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
8187
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
8188
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
8190
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
8191
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
8193
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
8194
help. (Robert Collins)
8196
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
8197
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8199
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
8200
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
8201
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
8202
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
8203
(John Arbash Meinel)
8205
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
8206
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
8207
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
8208
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
8209
useful. (Robert Collins)
8211
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
8217
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
8218
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
8220
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
8221
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
8223
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
8224
properly and is no longer beneficial.
8225
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
8227
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
8230
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
8231
the file, and does it faster.
8232
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
8234
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
8235
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
8236
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
8238
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
8239
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
8240
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
8241
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
8243
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
8244
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
8245
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
8246
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
8248
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
8249
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
8251
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
8252
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
8253
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
8254
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
8257
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
8259
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
8260
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
8262
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
8263
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
8265
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
8266
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
8267
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
8268
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
8272
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
8273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
8278
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
8279
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
8280
in running it. (Robert Collins)
8282
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
8283
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
8285
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
8286
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
8287
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
8288
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
8289
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
8290
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
8291
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
8292
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8294
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
8295
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
8296
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8298
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
8299
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
8300
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
8301
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
8302
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
8304
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8306
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
8307
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
8308
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8310
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
8311
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
8317
:Released: 2007-04-01
8322
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
8325
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
8326
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
8332
:Released: 2007-03-26
8337
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
8338
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
8344
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
8345
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
8346
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
8347
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
8348
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
8349
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
8350
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
8351
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
8357
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
8358
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
8359
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
8361
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
8362
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
8365
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
8366
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
8367
(John Arbash Meinel)
8369
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
8370
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
8371
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
8372
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
8373
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
8378
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
8381
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
8382
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
8384
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
8385
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
8387
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
8388
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
8389
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
8391
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
8392
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
8394
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
8395
last-changed-revision for directories. The
8396
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
8397
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
8398
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
8400
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
8401
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
8402
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
8404
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
8413
********************
8415
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8416
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8417
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8422
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8423
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8425
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8426
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8428
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8430
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8431
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8433
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8434
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8439
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
8445
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
8446
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
8447
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
8448
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
8450
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
8451
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
8453
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
8454
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
8456
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
8459
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
8460
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
8466
:Released: 2007-03-07
8471
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
8472
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
8473
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
8474
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
8475
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
8476
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
8478
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
8479
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
8480
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8481
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
8482
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
8483
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
8485
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8487
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
8488
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
8489
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
8490
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
8491
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
8492
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
8493
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
8494
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8499
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
8500
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8502
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
8503
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
8504
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
8505
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
8507
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
8508
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
8509
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
8510
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
8511
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
8513
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
8516
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
8519
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
8522
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
8523
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
8526
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
8529
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
8530
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
8532
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
8533
directory. (Martin Pool)
8535
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
8536
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8537
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8538
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8540
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8541
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8542
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8543
in docs/configuration.txt.
8545
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8546
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8549
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8550
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8551
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8552
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8553
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8554
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8556
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8557
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8559
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8560
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8562
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8568
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8569
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8570
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8571
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8572
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8573
(John Arbash Meinel)
8575
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8576
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8579
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8580
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8581
(John Arbash Meinel)
8583
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8584
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8585
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8586
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8587
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8588
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8590
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8591
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8592
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8594
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8595
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8596
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8597
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8599
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8601
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8602
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8603
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8604
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8606
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8607
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8608
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8609
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8611
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8612
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8613
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8615
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8616
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8617
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8619
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8620
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8621
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8622
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8624
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8625
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8626
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8628
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8629
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8630
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8632
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8633
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8634
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8635
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8636
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8637
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8638
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8639
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8640
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
8641
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
8642
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8647
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8648
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8649
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8651
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8654
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8655
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8656
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8657
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8659
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8660
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8663
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8664
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
8666
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8668
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8669
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8670
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8672
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
8673
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
8675
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
8676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
8678
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
8679
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
8681
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
8682
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
8684
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
8686
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
8687
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
8692
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
8693
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
8699
:Released: 2007-01-23
8704
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
8709
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8710
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8711
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8713
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8714
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8715
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8721
:Released: 2007-01-16
8726
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8727
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8728
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8729
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8731
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8734
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8735
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8736
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8738
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8739
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8741
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8744
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8745
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8746
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8747
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8748
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8749
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8751
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8752
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8753
should enable you to do::
8755
[/home/user/project]
8756
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8757
push_location:policy = appendpath
8759
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8760
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8763
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8764
for each file. For example::
8766
$ bzr status --short
8772
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8773
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8775
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8777
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8778
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8780
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8785
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8786
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8787
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8788
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8790
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8791
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8792
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8794
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8796
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8797
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8798
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8799
(Alexander Belchenko)
8801
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8804
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8805
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8807
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8812
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8813
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8815
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8816
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8817
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8818
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8819
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8821
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8822
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8824
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8825
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8827
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8829
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8831
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8832
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8833
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8834
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8835
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8837
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8838
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8839
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8840
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8842
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8843
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8845
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8846
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8848
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8849
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8873
(Daniel Silverstone)
8875
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8876
operations are substantially faster.
8877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8879
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8880
tree from some other url. For example:
8881
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8882
(Daniel Silverstone)
8884
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8885
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8886
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8887
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8889
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8892
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8893
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8894
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8895
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8896
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8897
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8902
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8903
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8906
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8907
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8908
(John Arbash Meinel)
8910
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8911
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8912
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8913
(John Arbash Meinel)
8915
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8916
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8918
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8919
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8921
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8922
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8928
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8929
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8930
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8932
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8933
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8934
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8935
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8937
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8939
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8940
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8942
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8943
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8944
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8947
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8948
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8949
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8951
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8952
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8953
them as full references rather than integers.
8954
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8956
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8957
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8959
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8961
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8962
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8964
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8965
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8967
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8968
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8969
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8970
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8972
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8973
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8974
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8976
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8977
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8979
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8980
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8981
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8982
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
8983
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
8988
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
8989
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

9006
:Released: 2006-10-23
9011
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
9012
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
9013
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
9014
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
9016
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
9017
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
9019
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
9021
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
9022
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
9023
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
9024
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9026
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
9027
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
9028
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
9029
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
9030
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
9035
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
9036
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
9041
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
9042
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
9043
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9045
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
9046
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
9047
(John Arbash Meinel)
9049
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
9050
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
9051
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
9053
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
9054
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
9057
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
9058
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
9059
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9061
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
9062
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
9063
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
9064
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
9065
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
9066
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9068
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
9069
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
9070
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
9073
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
9074
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
9079
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
9080
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
9081
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
9084
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
9085
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
9087
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
9088
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
9089
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
9091
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
9092
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
9094
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
9095
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
9096
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
9097
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
9099
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
9100
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
9102
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
9103
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
9104
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
9106
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
9107
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
9109
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9111
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
9112
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
9118
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
9119
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
9120
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
9121
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
9123
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
9124
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
9125
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

9150
:Released: 2006-09-25
9155
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
9156
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
9157
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
9158
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9159
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
9160
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
9161
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
9163
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
9164
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
9165
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
9167
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
9169
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
9170
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
9172
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
9173
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
9174
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
9177
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
9178
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
9179
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
9180
(John Arbash Meinel)
9182
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
9183
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
9184
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
9185
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
9188
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
9189
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
9190
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
9191
(John Arbash Meinel)
9196
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
9197
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
9199
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
9201
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
9202
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
9203
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
9205
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
9206
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
9208
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
9209
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
9211
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
9212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
9214
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
9215
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
9217
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
9219
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
9220
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
9222
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
9223
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
9225
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
9226
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
9228
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
9229
(John Arbash Meinel)
9231
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
9232
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
9233
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
9235
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
9236
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9238
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
9239
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
9240
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
9241
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
9243
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
9244
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
9245
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
9247
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
9248
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
9253
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
9258
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
9259
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
9260
(John Arbash Meinel)
9262
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
9263
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
9264
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
9265
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9267
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
9270
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
9271
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
9272
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
9274
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
9275
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
9277
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
9278
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
9279
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
9281
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
9282
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
9283
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
9284
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
9285
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
9286
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
9287
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
9288
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
9289
caller to repeat their request.
9290
(John Arbash Meinel)
9292
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
9293
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
9295
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
9296
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
9298
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
9299
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
9300
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
9301
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
9302
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
9303
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
9304
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
9306
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
9307
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
9308
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
9309
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
9310
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
9311
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
9312
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
9313
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
9316
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
9317
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
9318
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
9320
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
9321
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
9323
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
9324
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9326
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
9327
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9332
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
9333
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
9335
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
9336
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
9337
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9339
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
9340
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
9341
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9346
:Released: 2006-08-29
9350
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
9351
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
9353
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
9354
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
9355
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
9356
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
9357
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
9359
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
9360
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
9361
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
9363
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
9364
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
9366
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
9367
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
9375
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
9376
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
9377
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
9379
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
9381
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
9383
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
9384
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
9385
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
9386
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
9388
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
9389
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
9390
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
9391
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
9392
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
9394
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
9395
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
9397
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
9398
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
9400
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
9401
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
9403
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
9404
in handling of revision properties.
9405
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9407
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9408
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9413
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9414
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9415
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9416
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9417
(John Arbash Meinel)
9419
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9420
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9421
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9426
:Released: 2006-08-11
9431
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9432
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9433
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9434
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9435
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9436
a more conservative list than the old default.
9437
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9438
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9439
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
9440
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
9442
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
9443
to more locations than just branch locations.
9449
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
9450
revno:N:branch. For example,
9451
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
9452
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
9454
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
9455
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
9456
the path of a file that has been versioned.
9457
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9458
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9459
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
9460
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
9461
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
9464
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
9465
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
9466
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
9469
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
9470
(Alexander Belchenko)
9472
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
9474
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
9477
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
9478
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
9479
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
9480
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
9481
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
9482
(John Arbash Meinel)
9484
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
9485
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
9486
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
9487
grained analysis of performance.
9488
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9490
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
9491
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
9493
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
9494
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
9495
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
9496
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
9497
file. (Robert Collins).
9499
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
9500
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
9501
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
9503
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
9504
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
9507
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
9508
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
9510
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
9511
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
9512
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
9513
the same way you would apply another branch.
9514
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
9516
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
9517
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
9519
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
9522
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
9525
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
9526
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
9527
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
9529
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
9530
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
9531
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
9533
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
9534
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
9536
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9537
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9538
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9539
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9540
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9542
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9543
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9545
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9546
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9547
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9548
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9549
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9550
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9551
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9552
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9554
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9555
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9556
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9561
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9563
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9565
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9566
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9568
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9569
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9571
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9572
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9574
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9576
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9577
(John Arbash Meinel)
9579
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9580
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9582
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9583
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9586
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9587
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9589
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9590
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9592
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9593
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9594
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9595
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9597
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9598
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9600
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9602
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9603
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9605
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9607
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9609
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9610
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9612
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9613
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9615
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9616
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9617
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9619
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9620
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9621
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9623
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9624
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9626
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9627
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9629
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9630
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9632
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9633
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9635
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9636
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9638
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9639
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9640
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9642
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9644
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9645
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9650
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9651
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9652
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9654
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9655
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9657
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9658
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9659
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9661
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9662
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9664
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9665
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9668
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9669
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9670
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9672
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9673
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9674
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9676
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9677
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9678
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9680
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9681
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9682
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9684
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9685
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9686
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9688
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9689
instead. (Robert Collins)
9691
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
9696
:Released: 2006-05-17
9701
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
9706
:Released: 2006-05-16
9711
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
9712
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
9714
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9715
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9717
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9718
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9719
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9724
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9726
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9727
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9729
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9734
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9735
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9736
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9737
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9742
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9743
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9744
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9749
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9750
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9751
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9756
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
9757
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

9764
Notes When Upgrading
9765
********************
9767
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9768
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9769
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9770
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9771
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9772
will keep the same format.
9774
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9775
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9776
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9777
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9778
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9780
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9781
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9782
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9783
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9784
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9785
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9786
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9788
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9789
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9790
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9791
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9792
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9794
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9795
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9796
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9803
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9804
convention. Paths now take the form::
9806
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9808
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9810
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9811
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9813
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9814
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9815
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9817
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9818
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9819
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9820
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9822
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9823
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9824
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9826
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9828
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9830
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9831
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9834
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9835
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9838
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9840
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9841
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9842
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9845
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9847
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9849
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9852
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9853
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9855
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9856
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9859
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9860
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9863
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9865
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9867
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9868
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9870
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9871
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9872
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9873
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9874
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9875
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9877
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9879
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9880
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9883
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9884
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9886
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9887
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9889
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9891
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9892
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9893
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9894
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9895
specification by Martin Pool.
9896
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9898
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9901
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9902
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9904
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9905
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9906
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9908
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9910
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9911
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9917
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9918
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9920
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9922
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9924
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9927
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9928
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9929
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9930
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9935
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9936
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9937
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9938
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9940
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9941
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9942
tried. (Martin Pool)
9944
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9947
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9949
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9950
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9951
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9953
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9954
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9956
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9957
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9958
paths. (Robert Collins)
9960
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9961
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9962
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9964
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9965
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9966
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9968
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9969
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9970
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9972
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9975
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9978
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9980
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9982
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9983
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9984
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9987
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9988
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9990
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9991
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9992
check. (Robert Collins)
9994
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9995
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
10000
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
10001
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
10003
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
10004
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
10005
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
10006
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
10008
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
10009
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
10010
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
10011
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
10012
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
10014
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
10015
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
10016
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
10018
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
10020
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
10021
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
10026
:Released: 2006-01-09
10031
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
10032
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
10034
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
10035
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10036
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
10039
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
10040
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
10042
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
10043
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
10044
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
10045
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
10046
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
10048
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
10049
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
10050
used. (Robert Collins)
10052
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
10053
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
10056
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
10057
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
10058
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
10060
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
10063
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
10064
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
10069
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
10070
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
10072
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10074
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10076
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
10077
tree. (Robert Collins)
10079
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
10080
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10081
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
10084
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
10087
* Tweaks to short log printing
10089
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
10092
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
10093
occurs. (Martin Pool)
10095
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
10096
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
10098
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
10099
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
10101
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
10102
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
10103
settings. (Magnus Therning)
10105
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
10106
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10108
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
10109
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
10112
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
10113
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
10115
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
10116
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
10118
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
10119
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
10121
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
10124
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
10125
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
10127
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
10128
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
10130
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
10131
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
10132
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
10137
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
10139
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10141
* Error when run with -OO
10143
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
10146
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
10148
* Change status to 3 for all errors
10150
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
10151
ignored by diff and status
10153
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
10154
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
10156
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
10158
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
10160
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
10161
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
10163
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
10164
email address. (Marien Zwart)
10166
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
10169
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
10170
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10172
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
10174
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
10175
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
10177
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
10180
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
10181
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
10183
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
10188
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
10189
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
10191
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10193
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10195
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
10197
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
10198
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
10199
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10201
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10203
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
10204
(John Arbash Meinel)
10206
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
10208
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
10209
If adding a new test script please add that to
10210
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
10212
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
10213
imported. (Martin Pool)
10215
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
10216
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
10217
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
10218
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
10219
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
10222
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
10223
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
10224
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
10226
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
10227
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
10228
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10230
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
10231
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
10232
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
10233
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
10234
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
10237
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
10238
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
10244
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
10245
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
10247
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
10248
function. (Robert Collins)
10250
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
10251
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
10252
if needed). (Robert Collins)
10254
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
10255
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
10258
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
10259
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
10260
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
10261
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
10262
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
10263
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
10264
version. (Robert Collins)
10266
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
10267
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
10269
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
10270
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
10271
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
10272
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
10273
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
10274
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
10276
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
10279
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
10289
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
10291
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
10293
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
10296
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
10297
query method. (Robert Collins)
10299
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
10302
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
10305
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
10308
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
10309
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
10310
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
10311
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
10313
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
10314
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
10315
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
10316
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
10318
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
10319
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
10324
:Released: 2005-10-28
10329
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
10332
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
10336
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
10337
a separator, not ':'.
10340
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
10341
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
10342
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
10344
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10345
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
10348
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
10349
has been added that suppresses all output.
10351
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
10354
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
10355
Goffredo Baroncelli.
10357
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
10358
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
10360
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
10361
a revision. (Robert Collins)
10363
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
10364
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
10365
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
10366
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
10368
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
10370
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
10371
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
10373
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
10374
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
10376
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
10377
output directory, if one was supplied.
10379
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
10380
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
10381
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
10382
parameters. (Robert Collins)
10384
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
10386
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
10387
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
10389
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
10390
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
10391
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
10393
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
10394
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
10396
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
10399
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
10401
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
10406
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10407
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10408
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10410
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10411
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10412
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10414
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10415
is given. (Martin Pool)
10417
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10418
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10419
file. (Robert Collins)
10421
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10427
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10428
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10429
representation. (Martin Pool).
10431
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10432
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10433
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10435
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10438
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10439
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
10442
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10443
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
10444
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
10445
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
10446
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
10448
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
10449
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
10450
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
10451
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
10452
python path. (Robert Collins)
10454
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
10455
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
10456
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
10457
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
10459
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
10460
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
10462
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
10463
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
10466
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
10467
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
10468
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
10470
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
10471
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
10472
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
10474
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10475
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10477
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
10478
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
10479
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
10482
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
10483
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
10484
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
10485
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
10488
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
10491
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
10492
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
10495
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
10496
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
10497
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
10499
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
10500
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
10501
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
10503
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
10504
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
10505
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
10507
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10508
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10510
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
10511
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
10512
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
10513
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
10514
caller. (Robert Collins)
10516
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
10517
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
10520
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
10521
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
10524
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
10526
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
10527
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
10532
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
10533
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
10535
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
10536
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
10542
:Released: 2005-10-12
10547
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10548
allow directories to be listed.
10550
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10551
upgrading branch format.
10556
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10562
:Released: 2005-10-11
10567
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10568
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10569
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10570
high-latency connections.
10575
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10578
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10579
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10581
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10582
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10583
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10584
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10586
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10587
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10589
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10590
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10592
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10593
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10594
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10596
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10597
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10598
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10601
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10602
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10604
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10605
different partial views of history.
10607
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10608
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10613
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10614
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10615
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10617
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10618
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10621
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10622
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10624
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10627
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10628
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10630
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10631
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10632
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10633
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10635
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10637
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10638
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10641
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10642
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10644
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10645
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10646
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10652
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10653
for your viewing pleasure.
10655
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10656
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10658
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10659
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10660
handling of such circumstances.
10662
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10663
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10664
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10666
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10668
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10669
we call them revisions not patches.
10671
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10672
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10674
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10675
giving the revision *of that file*.
10677
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10678
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10679
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10684
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10685
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10687
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10688
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

10699
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10701
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10704
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10706
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10708
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10709
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10714
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10715
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10717
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10718
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10719
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10720
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10723
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10724
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10729
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10731
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10732
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10738
:Released: 2005-09-20
10744
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10745
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10746
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10747
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10750
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10753
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10754
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10755
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10756
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10757
for the operating system is still tried.
10759
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10760
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10761
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10767
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10772
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10774
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10777
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
10784
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
10786
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
10792
:Released: 2005-09-02
10797
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10798
help with intelligent shell completion.
10800
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10806
* Much better merge support.
10808
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10809
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10816
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10817
mention revisions that are not present.
10819
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10821
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10823
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10824
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10830
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10832
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10833
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10840
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10841
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
10849
:Released: 2005-08-18
10854
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10855
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10857
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10859
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10860
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10862
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10865
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10867
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10870
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10871
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10873
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10874
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10875
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10881
* Faster working tree operations.
10887
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10888
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10889
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10890
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10892
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10893
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10894
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10895
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10896
standard plugins directory.
10898
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10899
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10900
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10901
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10903
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10904
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10906
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10909
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10910
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10911
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
10913
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10914
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10916
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10917
line options must come before the command name because they
10918
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10919
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10922
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10924
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
10925
is available with ``--short``.
10931
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
10937
:Released: 2005-06-15
10942
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10943
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10945
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10946
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10947
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10948
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10950
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10951
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10952
with the ``--forward`` option.
10954
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10955
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10962
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10963
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
10965
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10967
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10968
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10970
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10972
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10973
either read or write mode.
10975
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10977
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10978
affected that file.
10980
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10982
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10983
suggested by LarstiQ.
10985
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10986
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10988
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10991
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10992
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
10994
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10995
haven't changed since the previous time.
10997
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10998
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
11000
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
11002
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
11004
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
11005
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
11007
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
11008
options through to an external GNU diff.
11010
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
11013
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
11020
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
11021
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
11023
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
11030
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
11031
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
11034
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
11035
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
11037
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
11038
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
11040
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
11041
under a different version.
11043
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
11049
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
11051
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
11052
Scott James Remnant.
11054
* Better help messages for many commands.
11056
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
11057
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
11059
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
11060
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
11062
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
11064
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
11066
* New AtomicFile class.
11068
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
11074
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
11075
2.4 is now only recommended.

:Released: 2005-04-22
11086
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
11087
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
11089
* More default ignore patterns.
11091
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
11092
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
11094
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
11096
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
11099
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
11105
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
11106
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
11107
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
11108
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
11109
there are DNS problems.
11111
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
11117
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
11119
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
11121
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
11122
trailing newlines properly.
11128
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
11131
* More tests in test.sh.
11133
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
11134
directory and delete it when done.
11136
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
11142
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
11145
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
11152
:Released: 2005-04-06
11157
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
11160
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
11162
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
11165
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
11168
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
11170
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
11175
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
11176
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
11182
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
11183
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
11189
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
11194
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
11203
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

:Codename: "black cube"
11210
:Released: 2005-03-31
11215
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
11217
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
11218
rather than replacing it.
11220
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
11222
* More help topics.
11224
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
11227
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
11228
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
11230
* Performance improvements.
11232
* New global --profile option.
11234
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
11235
the root directory only.
11241
:Released: 2005-03-26
11246
* More information from info command.
11248
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
11250
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
11251
committing to stores.
11253
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
11258
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
