bzr 2.1.0rc1 (not released yet)

###############################
12
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-06 (expected)
20
* The ``suppress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced and
21
accept the ``format_deprecation`` value to disable the corresponding
22
warning for repositories. It can be set to in either ``bazaar.conf``,
23
``locations.conf`` or ``branch.conf``.
24
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
26
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
27
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
28
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
34
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
35
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
36
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
38
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
39
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
41
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
42
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
47
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
48
Bazaar is doing network IO.
54
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
55
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
61
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
62
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
63
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
64
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
66
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
72
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
73
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
74
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
75
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
80
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
81
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
82
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
83
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
84
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
86
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
87
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
88
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
89
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
90
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
91
suite. (Robert Collins)
93
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
94
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
97
bzr 2.0.4 (not released yet)
98
############################
131
:Codename: san francisco airport
134
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
135
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
136
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
137
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
138
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
139
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
145
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
146
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
147
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
148
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
149
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
154
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
155
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
157
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
158
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
160
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
161
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
163
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
164
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
165
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
166
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
170
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
171
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
179
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
180
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
181
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
183
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
184
and issues a warning.
185
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
187
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorder Tyler, #456036)
189
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
190
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
192
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
193
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
194
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
195
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
197
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
199
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
200
(Robert Collins, #84659)
202
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
204
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
205
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
207
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
209
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
210
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
212
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
213
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
214
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
215
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
217
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
218
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
220
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
221
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
223
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
224
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
225
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
227
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
228
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
229
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
230
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
232
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
233
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
234
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
236
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
237
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
238
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
239
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
241
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
242
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
243
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
249
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
251
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
252
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
254
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
255
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
258
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
259
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
262
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
263
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
264
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
265
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
266
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
271
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
277
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
279
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
280
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
281
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
287
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
288
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
289
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
290
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
292
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
293
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
294
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
295
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
298
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
299
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
300
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
301
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
302
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
303
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
308
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
309
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
315
:Codename: little italy
319
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
320
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
326
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
327
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
328
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
330
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
331
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
333
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
334
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
335
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
336
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
338
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
344
:Codename: after sprint recovery
347
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
348
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
349
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
350
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
352
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
353
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
354
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
355
formats for Remote objects.
361
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
362
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
367
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
369
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
370
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
372
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
374
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
375
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
376
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
377
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
378
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
379
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
381
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
382
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
383
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
384
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
386
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
387
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
389
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
390
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
392
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
393
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
394
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
395
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
396
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
397
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
398
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
400
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
401
(Alexander Belchenko)
403
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
404
Python level. (Martin Pool)
409
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
411
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
412
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
413
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
415
(Martin Pool, 493944)
420
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
421
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
422
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
427
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
428
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
430
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
431
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
433
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
434
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
436
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
437
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
438
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
439
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
441
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
442
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
444
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
445
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
446
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
447
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
449
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
450
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
451
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
452
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
459
:Codename: a load off my mind
462
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
463
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
465
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
466
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
467
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
468
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
469
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
472
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
473
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
474
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
475
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
476
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
477
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
482
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
483
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
485
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
486
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
487
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
488
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
490
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
491
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
493
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
494
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
495
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
496
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
498
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
499
files. (Aaron Bentley)
501
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
502
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
507
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
508
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
509
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
512
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
513
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
519
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
520
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
525
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
527
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
528
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
534
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
535
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
536
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
537
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
538
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
541
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
542
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
543
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
544
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
545
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
546
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
547
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
548
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
549
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
551
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
552
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
553
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
554
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
555
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
556
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
557
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
559
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
560
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
561
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
562
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
568
:Codename: after the scare
571
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
572
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
578
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
579
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
581
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
584
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
586
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
587
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
588
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
590
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
591
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
593
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
594
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
596
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
597
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
602
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
603
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
608
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
609
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
615
:Codename: While the cat is away
618
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
619
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
620
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
621
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
622
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
623
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
624
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
626
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
627
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
628
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
629
error handling during unlocking.
635
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
638
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
639
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
640
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
641
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
642
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
643
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
645
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
646
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
647
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
649
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
650
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
653
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
654
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
655
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
657
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
658
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
661
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
662
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
663
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
668
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
669
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
670
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
671
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
672
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
673
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
674
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
676
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
677
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
678
(Robert Collins, #3918)
680
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
681
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
682
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
685
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
686
merges are present in the working tree.
687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
689
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
690
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
692
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
693
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
695
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
698
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
699
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
702
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
703
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
705
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
706
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
708
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
711
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
712
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
713
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
718
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
719
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
720
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
722
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
723
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
724
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
725
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
726
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
727
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
728
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
729
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
731
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
732
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
733
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
734
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
735
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
740
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
742
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
743
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
748
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
749
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
751
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
752
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
754
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
755
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
756
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
758
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
761
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
762
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
763
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
764
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
765
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
769
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
775
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
776
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
779
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
780
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
781
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
784
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
785
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
791
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
792
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
794
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
795
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
797
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
798
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
801
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
805
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
806
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
808
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
809
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
810
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
812
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
813
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
814
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
815
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
816
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
818
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
819
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
821
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
822
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
828
:Codename: Stability First
831
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
832
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
833
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
839
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
840
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
841
(Robert Collins, #3918)
843
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
844
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
845
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
847
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
848
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
849
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
851
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
852
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
854
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
855
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
856
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
857
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
858
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
860
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
861
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
863
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
864
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
865
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
866
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
868
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
869
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
870
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
872
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
873
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
874
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
875
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
876
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
877
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
878
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
880
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
881
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
883
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
884
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
885
to download the entire cix file many times.
886
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
888
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
889
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
894
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
896
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
904
:Codename: Instant Karma
906
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
907
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
908
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
909
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
910
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
913
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
914
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
916
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
917
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
918
months or until the following stable release.
920
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
921
******************************
923
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
924
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
925
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
926
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
932
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
937
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
938
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
939
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
944
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
945
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
946
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
947
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
948
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
949
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
950
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
952
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
953
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
954
(Robert Collins, #416732)
956
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
957
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
959
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
960
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
961
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
963
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
964
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
966
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
967
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
968
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
969
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
970
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
971
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
972
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
974
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
975
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
976
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
977
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
978
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
979
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
981
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
982
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
983
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
985
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
986
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
987
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
989
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
990
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
991
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
993
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
994
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
996
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
997
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
998
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
999
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
1004
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
1005
older smart servers.
1006
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
1008
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1009
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1011
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
1012
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
1013
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
1015
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
1016
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
1017
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
1019
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
1020
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1026
:Codename: no worries
1027
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
1029
Compatibility Breaks
1030
********************
1032
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
1033
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
1034
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
1035
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
1036
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
1038
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
1039
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
1040
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
1041
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
1046
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
1047
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1052
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1053
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1055
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
1056
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
1057
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
1058
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
1059
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
1061
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
1062
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
1063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
1065
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1068
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
1069
(Martin Pool, #286871)
1071
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
1072
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
1073
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
1075
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
1076
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
1077
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
1078
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
1083
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1084
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1085
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1087
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
1088
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
1089
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
1090
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
1092
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
1094
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
1095
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1097
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
1098
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1100
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
1101
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
1102
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
1104
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
1105
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
1106
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
1107
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
1108
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
1109
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
1114
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
1120
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1121
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1122
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1130
:Codename: nein nein nein!
1133
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
1134
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
1135
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
1136
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
1137
pushing to older servers.
1142
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
1143
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
1144
(Martin Pool, #415508)
1146
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
1147
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
1148
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
1153
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
1154
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1156
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
1157
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1162
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1163
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1164
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1166
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
1167
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
1168
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
1170
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
1171
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
1172
should be used. (Robert Collins)
1177
Compatibility Breaks
1178
********************
1180
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
1181
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
1182
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
1183
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
1184
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
1192
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
1193
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
1194
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
1195
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
1196
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
1198
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1201
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
1202
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
1204
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1205
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1207
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
1208
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
1209
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
1210
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
1212
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
1213
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
1214
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
1216
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
1217
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
1219
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
1220
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
1221
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
1222
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
1227
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1228
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1229
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1231
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
1232
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
1233
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
1234
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
1235
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
1237
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
1238
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
1239
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
1240

* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
1252
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
1253
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
1254
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
1255
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
1256
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
1258
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
1259
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
1260
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
1261
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
1263
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
1264
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
1265
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
1266
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
1267
(John Arbash Meinel)
1269
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
1270
protocols. (Robert Collins)
1272
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
1273
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
1274
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
1275
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
1281
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
1282
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
1292
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
1293
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
1294
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
1295
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
1296
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
1297
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
1299
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1300
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
1301
or until the following stable release.
1303
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
1308
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
1309
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
1311
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
1312
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
1313
(Martin Pool, #391411)
1318
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
1319
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
1320
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
1322
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
1323
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
1324
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
1325
(Martin Pool, #123688)
1327
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
1328
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
1329
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
1330
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
1332
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
1333
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
1335
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
1336
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
1337
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
1338
(Robert Collins, #282402)
1340
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
1341
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
1343
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
1344
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
1346
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
1347
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
1348
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
1349
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
1352
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
1353
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
1354
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
1356
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
1357
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
1358
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
1359
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
1360
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
1362
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
1363
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
1365
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
1366
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
1367
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
1369
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
1370
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
1371
(Martin Pool, #408201)
1373
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
1374
(Martin Pool, #403523)
1376
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
1377
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
1378
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
1380
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
1381
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
1383
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
1384
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
1386
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
1387
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
1389
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
1390
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
1391
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
1393
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
1394
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
1395
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
1397
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1399
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
1400
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
1402
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
1403
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
1404
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
1405
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
1406
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
1407
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
1409
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1410
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1411
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1413
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
1414
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
1415
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
1416
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
1418
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
1419
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
1420
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
1421
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
1422
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
1424
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
1425
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
1426
(Robert Collins, #187207)
1431
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
1434
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
1435
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
1436
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
1437
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
1439
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
1440
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
1441
(John Arbash Meinel)
1446
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1451
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
1452
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
1453
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
1454
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
1455
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
1456
passwords. (Martin Pool)
1458
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
1461
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
1464
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
1468
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
1469
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
1474
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
1475
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
1476
paths. (Robert Collins)
1478
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
1479
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
1481
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
1482
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
1483
disk. (Robert Collins)
1485
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
1486
it. (Robert Collins)
1488
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
1489
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
1490
(Alexander Belchenko)
1496
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
1497
(Martin Pool, #409684)
1499
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
1500
(Martin Pool, #408199)
1502
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
1503
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
1504
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
1505
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
1506
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
1507
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
1510
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
1511
#######################
1516
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1517
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1518
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
1524
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
1528
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
1529
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
1532
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
1533
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
1534
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
1535
annoying progress bar artifacts.
1538
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
1539
*********************************
1541
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
1542
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
1543
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
1545
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
1546
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
1547
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
1549
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
1550
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
1553
Compatibility Breaks
1554
********************
1556
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
1557
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
1558
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
1559
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
1565
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1566
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
1567
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
1568
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
1570
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
1571
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
1572
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1574
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1575
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
1576
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
1578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
1580
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
1581
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
1582
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
1583
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1589
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
1590
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
1592
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
1593
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
1594
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
1595
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
1597
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
1598
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
1600
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1601
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1602
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1604
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
1605
(Martin Pool, #321935)
1607
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
1608
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
1610
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
1611
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
1613
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
1614
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
1615
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
1617
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
1620
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
1621
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
1623
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
1624
of a remote repository.
1625
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
1627
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
1628
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
1631
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
1633
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
1635
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
1636
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
1638
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
1639
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1641
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1642
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1643
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1645
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1646
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1647
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1648
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1649
(John Arbash Meinel)
1651
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1652
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1653
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1655
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1656
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1657
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1658
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1659
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1660
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1662
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1663
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1664
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1665
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1666
activity display respectively.
1667
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1669
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1670
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1672
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1675
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
1676
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
1682
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
1683
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
1684
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
1685
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
1687
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
1688
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
1689
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
1690
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
1693
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
1694
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
1696
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
1697
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
1698
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
1699
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
1700
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
1701
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1703
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
1704
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
1705
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
1706
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
1708
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
1709
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
1710
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
1711
(John Arbash Meinel)
1714
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
1715
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
1716
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
1717
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
1723
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
1724
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
1725
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
1726
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1728
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
1729
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
1730
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
1732
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
1735
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
1736
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
1738
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
1739
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
1740
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1742
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
1743
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
1744
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
1745
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1747
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
1753
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
1754
formatting in the user reference.
1755
(Martin Pool, #249908)
1757
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
1763
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
1766
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
1767
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
1768
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
1774
:Released: 2009-06-26
1776
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1777
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1778
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1781
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1782
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1783
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1785
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1786
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1791
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1792
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1794
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1795
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1796
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1798
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1799
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1800
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1801
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1802
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1803
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1804
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1806
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1807
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1808
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1810
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1811
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1812
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1814
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1815
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1816
that. (Robert Collins)
1818
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1819
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1820
repository. (Robert Collins)
1822
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1823
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1824
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1825
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
1835
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
1836
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1837
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1838
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
1840
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
1841
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
1842
bug fixes and improvements.
1845
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1846
*********************************
1848
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1849
2a can work correctly.
1850
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1852
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1853
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1854
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1857
Compatibility Breaks
1858
********************
1860
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1861
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1868
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1869
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1870
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1871
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1872
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1873
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1876
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1877
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1878
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1879
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1881
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1882
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1884
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1885
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1887
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1888
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1889
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1891
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1892
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1898
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1899
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1900
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1902
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1903
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1904
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1905
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1906
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1908
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1909
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1910
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1911
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1913
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1914
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1920
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1921
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1922
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1923
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1929
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1930
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1932
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1933
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1935
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1936
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1937
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1939
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1940
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1942
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1943
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1944
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1946
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1947
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1948
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1949
(John Arbash Meinel)
1951
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1952
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1954
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1955
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1957
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1958
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1960
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1961
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1962
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1963
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1964
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1965
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1967
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1969
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1970
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1972
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1973
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1975
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1976
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1977
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1978
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1979
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1981
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1982
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1983
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1984
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1989
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1990
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1991
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1996
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1998
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1999
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
2000
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2002
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
2003
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
2004
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
2006
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
2007
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2009
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
2010
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
2015
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
2016
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2021
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
2022
(Martin Pool, #386180)
2024
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
2026
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2028
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
2033
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
2037
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
2038
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
2039
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
2040
revisions introduce the exact same line.
2042
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
2043
*****************************
2045
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
2046
(Alexander Belchenko)
2048
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
2049
*********************************
2051
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2052
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2053
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2054
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
2056
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
2057
*********************************
2061
Compatibility Breaks
2062
********************
2064
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
2065
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
2066
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
2067
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
2072
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2073
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2076
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
2077
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
2078
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
2079
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2081
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
2082
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
2083
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
2084
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
2086
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2087
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2090
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
2091
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
2092
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2097
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
2098
server. (Jonathan Lange)
2100
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
2101
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
2103
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
2104
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
2105
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
2107
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
2112
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
2113
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
2115
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
2117
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
2118
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
2120
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
2121
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
2123
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
2124
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
2126
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
2127
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
2128
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
2129
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
2131
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
2132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
2134
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2135
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2137
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
2138
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
2140
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
2141
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
2143
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
2144
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
2146
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
2147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
2149
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
2150
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2152
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2153
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2154
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2155
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2156
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2157
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2158
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2159
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2160
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2161
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2162
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2163
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2164
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2165
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
2167
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
2168
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
2169
(Robert Collins, #368921)
2171
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
2172
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
2180
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
2181
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
2182
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
2184
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
2185
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
2186
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
2187
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
2188
(Alexander Belchenko)
2193
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
2194
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
2195
encoding. (Robert Collins)
2197
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
2198
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
2201
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
2202
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
2203
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
2204
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
2205
configuration. (Robert Collins)
2207
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
2208
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
2209
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
2211
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
2212
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
2213
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
2214
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
2216
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
2217
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
2218
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
2220
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
2221
backwards. (Robert Collins)
2223
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
2224
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
2225
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2226
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
2228
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
2229
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
2230
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2232
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
2233
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
2235
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
2236
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
2237
branches. (Robert Collins)
2239
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
2240
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2242
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
2247
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
2248
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks

********************
2301
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
2302
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
2303
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
2304
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
2305
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2307
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
2308
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
2309
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
2312
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
2313
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
2314
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
2315
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)

* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
2321

2322
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental

* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
2331
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)

* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories

* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the

2347
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
2348
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
2351
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
2352
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
2353
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
2354
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
2355
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2357
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
2358
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
2361
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
2367
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
2368
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
2369
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
2371
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
2372
the data when the target repository does not need topological
2373
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
2374
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
2375
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2377
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
2378
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
2381
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
2382
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
2383
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
2385
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
2388
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
2391
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
2392
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2394
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2395
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2397
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
2398
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
2400
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
2401
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
2404
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
2405
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
2406
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2408
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
2409
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
2410
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
2413
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
2414
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
2415
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
2416
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
2418
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
2419
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
2420
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
2421
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
2422
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
2423
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
2424
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
2425
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
2426
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2428
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
2434
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2435
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2436
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2437
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2438
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2439
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2440
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2442
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2443
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2445
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
2446
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
2447
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
2448
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
2450
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
2451
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
2453
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
2455
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2458
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2459
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2460
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2462
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2463
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2465
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
2466
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
2468
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
2469
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
2470
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
2472
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
2473
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
2474
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
2475
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2477
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2479
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
2480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
2482
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
2483
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
2484
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
2485
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
2486
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
2488
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2489
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2490
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2491
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2492
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2493
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2494
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2496
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
2497
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
2499
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
2500
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
2503
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
2504
(James Westby, #341558)
2506
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
2507
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
2509
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
2510
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
2515
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
2517
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
2519
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
2520
(James Westby, #336998)
2525
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
2528
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
2529
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
2532
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
2533
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
2536
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
2537
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
2538
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
2540
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
2541
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
2542
Meinel, Robert Collins)
2544
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
2545
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
2546
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
2547
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
2550
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
2551
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
2554
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
2557
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
2558
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2560
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2561
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2562
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2563
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2565
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
2566
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
2567
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
2572
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
2573
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
2574
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
2575
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
2576
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2578
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
2579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
2581
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
2582
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
2583
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
2584
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
2590
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
2591
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2593
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
2594
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2596
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
2597
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
2598
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2600
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
2601
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
2602
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
2603
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2605
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
2606
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
2607
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
2608
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2610
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
2611
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
2612
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2614
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
2615
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
2616
dependency. (Robert Collins)
2618
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
2619
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
2620
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2622
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
2623
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
2626
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
2627
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
2628
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
2630
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
2631
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2633
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
2634
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
2635
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2637
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
2638
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
2641
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
2642
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2643
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2645
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2646
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2647
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2648
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2649
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2651
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2652
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2653
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2654
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2656
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2657
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2658
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2659
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2661
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2662
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2663
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2665
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2666
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2669
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2670
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2671
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2673
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2674
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2675
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
2676
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
2677
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
2679
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
2680
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
2681
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
2684
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
2685
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
2686
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
2687
desired. (Robert Collins)
2689
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
2690
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
2691
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
2692
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2694
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
2695
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
2696
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.
2712
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
2713
*****************************
2715
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
2716
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
2717
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
2718
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
2719
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
2720
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
2726
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
2727
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
2728
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2730
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
2731
********************************
2733
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
2734
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
2735
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
2740
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
2741
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
2743
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
2744
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
2746
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
2747
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
2749
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2751
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
2752
*********************************
2754
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2755
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2756
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2758
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2759
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2761
Compatibility Breaks
2762
********************
2764
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
2765
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
2766
command may need to be adjusted.
2767
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2772
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2773
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2774
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2776
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2779
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2780
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2781
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2784
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2785
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2787
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2788
(John Arbash Meinel)
2790
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2791
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2793
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
2795
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2796
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2799
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2805
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2806
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2807
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2808
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2809
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2810
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2811
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2812
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2815
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2816
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2818
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2819
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
2820
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
2822
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2823
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2825
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2826
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2827
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2830
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2831
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2832
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2834
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2835
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2836
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2837
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2839
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2842
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2843
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2845
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2846
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2848
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2849
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2850
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2852
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2857
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2858
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2860
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2861
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2862
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2864
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2865
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2868
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2869
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2871
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2872
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2875
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2876
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2877
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2879
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2880
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2882
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2883
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2885
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.

* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2889
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2891
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2892
error branching from old repositories.
2893
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2895
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2896
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2898
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2899
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2900
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2901
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2903
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2904
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2907
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2908
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2910
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2911
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2913
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2914
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2915
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2917
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2918
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2920
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2921
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2926
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2927
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2928
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2931
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2932
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2934
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2935
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2940
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2941
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2942
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2943
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2944
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2946
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2947
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2949
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2950
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2951
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2952
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2953
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2954
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2956
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2957
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2959
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2960
"author" argument being deprecated.
2962
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2964
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2965
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2966
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2967
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2969
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2970
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2971
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2973
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2974
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2975
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2977
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2978
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2980
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2981
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2982
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2983
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2988
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2989
free of virtual file system methods.
2990
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2992
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2993
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2994
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2996
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2997
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2998
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2999
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
3000
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
3001
(Robert Collins, #334187)
3003
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
3005
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
3006
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
3008
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
3009
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
3010
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
3011
stream the operation.
3012
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3014
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
3015
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
3017
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
3018
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
3019
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
3020
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
3021
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3023
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
3024
branch object. (Robert Collins)
3026
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
3027
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
3028
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
3030
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
3031
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
3034
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
3037
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
3038
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
3039
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3041
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
3042
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
3043
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3045
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
3046
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
3047
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3049
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
3050
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
3051
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3053
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
3054
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
3055
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
3056
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
3057
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
3059
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
3060
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
3061
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
3062
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
3063
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
3064
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
3066
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
3067
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
3068
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
3069
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
3070
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3072
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
3073
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3075
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
3076
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
3078
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
3079
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
3080
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
3081
to access private data in record to obtain content more
3082
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3084
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
3085
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
3092
:Codename: 1234567890
3094
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
3096
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
3097
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
3098
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
3099
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
3100
by showing the rate of network IO.
3102
Changes from RC1 to Final
3103
*************************
3105
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
3106
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
3108
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
3109
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3111
Compatibility Breaks
3112
********************
3114
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
3115
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
3116
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
3117
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
3119
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
3120
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
3121
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
3124
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
3125
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
3126
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
3127
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3129
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
3130
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
3131
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
3134
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3139
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3140
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3141
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3144
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3145
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3146
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3148
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3149
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3150
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3151
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3152
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3153
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3154
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3155
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3156
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3162
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3165
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3168
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3169
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3170
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3172
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3173
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3174
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3175
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3176
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3178
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3179
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3181
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3182
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3183
level for better precision.
3186
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3187
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3189
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3190
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3191
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
3193
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
3194
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
3195
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
3198
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
3199
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
3200
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
3205
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
3207
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
3209
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
3210
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
3211
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
3213
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
3214
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
3215
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
3216
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
3217
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
3218
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
3220
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
3221
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
3223
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
3224
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
3226
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
3227
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3228
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3230
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
3231
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
3232
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
3235
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
3236
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
3238
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
3239
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
3240
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
3241
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
3243
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
3244
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
3246
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3248
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
3253
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3258
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
3259
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
3262
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
3263
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3265
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
3266
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3268
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
3269
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3271
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
3272
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
3273
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
3274
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
3276
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
3277
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
3278
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
3283
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
3284
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
3285
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
3286
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
3287
compile buffers, are such an example).
3290
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
3291
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
3294
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
3295
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
3296
efficient way of doing the mapping.
3299
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
3300
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
3302
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
3303
formatters to retrict the output.
3310
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3311
:Released: 2009-01-19
3313
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
3314
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
3315
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
3316
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
3317
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
3319
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
3320
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
3323
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
3324
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
3329
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
3332
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
3333
(John Arbash Meinel)
3340
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3341
:Released: 2009-01-09
3346
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
3347
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3352
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
3353
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
3355
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
3356
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
3357
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
3358
implement other plugins.
3361
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
3367
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
3368
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
3370
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
3371
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
3373
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
3374
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
3375
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
3376
processes which drag in shell extensions.
3379
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
3380
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
3381
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
3382
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
3383
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
3385
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
3386
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
3387
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
3388
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
3389
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
3394
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
3395
control directory. (#139691)
3397
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
3398
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
3400
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
3401
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
3403
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
3404
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
3405
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
3407
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
3408
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
3410
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
3411
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3412
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3414
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
3415
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
3417
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
3420
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
3421
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
3422
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
3424
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
3425
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
3427
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
3428
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
3429
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
3431
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
3432
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
3433
in the appropriate sections.
3434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
3436
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
3437
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
3438
(John Arbash meinel)
3440
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
3441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
3443
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
3444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
3446
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
3447
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3449
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
3450
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
3451
work better with how it splits its requests.
3452
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
3454
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3455
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3456
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3458
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
3461
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
3463
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
3464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
3466
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
3472
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
3473
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
3474
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
3480
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
3481
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
3482
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
3483
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3485
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
3486
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
3488
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
3489
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
3490
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
3491
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
3493
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
3494
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
3495
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
3496
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3501
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
3502
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
3503
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
3505
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
3506
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
3507
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
3508
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
3510
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
3511
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
3512
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
3518
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
3519
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
3520
(John Arbash Meinel)
3522
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
3523
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
3524
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
3525
(John Arbash Meinel)
3527
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
3528
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
3529
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
3530
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
3532
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
3533
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
3534
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
3536
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
3537
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
3538
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
3539
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
3541
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
3542
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
3543
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
3544
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
3545
(John Arbash Meinel)
3547
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
3548
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
3550
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
3551
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
3552
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
3554
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
3555
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
3556
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
3557
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
3559
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
3560
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3561
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3562
(John Arbash Meinel)
3564
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
3565
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
3566
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
3567
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
3568
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
3569
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
3570
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3572
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
3573
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

:Released: 2008-12-05
3582
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
3583
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
3584
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
3585
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
3588
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
3593
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
3594
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
3595
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
3596
(Martin Pool, #303856)
3598
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
3599
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
3600
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
3601
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
3602
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
3608
:Released: 2008-11-28
3610
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
3611
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
3612
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
3613
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
3614
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
3619
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
3620
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3622
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
3628
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
3629
history just to set the last revision info.
3630
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3632
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
3633
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
3634
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
3635
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3637
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
3638
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
3639
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
3640
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
3641
(John Arbash Meinel)
3643
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3644
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3646
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3647
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3648
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3649
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3650
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3652
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3653
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3654
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3655
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3660
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3661
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3663
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3664
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3666
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3667
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3668
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3669
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3671
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3672
starting with a dotted revno.
3673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3675
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
3676
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
3677
(Martin Pool, #288751)
3679
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3680
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3681
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3683
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
3684
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
3685
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
3687
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
3688
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
3689
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
3690
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
3692
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
3693
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
3694
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
3696
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
3697
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
3702
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
3703
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
3704
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
3705
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
3707
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
3708
have changed incompatibly.
3710
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
3711
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
3712
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
3713
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
3714
don't need to change.
3716
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
3717
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
3722
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
3723
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
3725
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
3731
:Released: 2008-11-07
3733
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
3734
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
3735
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
3736
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
3737
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
3738
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
3743
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
3744
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
3746
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
3748
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
3749
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
3750
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
3756
:Released: 2008-10-31
3761
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
3762
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
3764
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
3765
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
3766
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
3767
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
3772
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3773
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3774
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3775
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3776
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3777
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3779
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3780
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3782
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3783
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3784
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3786
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3787
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3788
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3791
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3792
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3794
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3795
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3797
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3798
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3800
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3801
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3802
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3803
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3804
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3805
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3806
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3807
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3808
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3809
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3814
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3815
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3817
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3818
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3820
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3821
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3822
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3824
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3825
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3826
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3828
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3829
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3830
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3832
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3833
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3834
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3835
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3836
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3837
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3839
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3840
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3842
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3843
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3845
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3846
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3847
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3848
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3849
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3851
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3852
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3853
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3854
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3859
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3864
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3869
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3870
configuration of authetication credentials.
3876
:Released: 2008-10-16
3878
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3879
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3880
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3881
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3882
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3887
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3888
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3893
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3894
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3900
:Released: 2008-10-07
3905
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3906
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3907
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3908
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3909
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3911
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3912
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3914
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3915
server. (Marius Kruger)
3917
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3918
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3919
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3920
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3921
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3922
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3927
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3928
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3929
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3931
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3936
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3937
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3938
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3939
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3941
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3942
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3945
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3946
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3949
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3952
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3954
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3955
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3957
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3958
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3960
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3961
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3962
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3963
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3964
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3965
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3966
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3967
operations. (Robert Collins)
3969
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3971
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3972
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3973
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3978
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3979
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3980
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3982
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3983
repository now preserves the repository format.
3984
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3986
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3989
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3992
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3996
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3999
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
4000
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
4001
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
4003
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
4004
is in a different repository than the current one.
4005
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
4007
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
4008
(David Futcher, #242106)
4010
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
4011
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4013
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
4014
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
4015
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
4016
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
4018
* Trivial documentation fix.
4019
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
4021
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4022
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4023
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4024
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4029
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
4034
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
4035
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
4036
to use. (Robert Collins)
4038
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
4039
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
4040
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
4042
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
4043
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
4044
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
4045
they want. (Robert Collins)
4050
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
4051
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
4052
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
4054
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
4055
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
4058
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
4061
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
4062
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
4064
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
4070
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
4071
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
4073
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
4074
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
4075
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
4077
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
4078
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
4079
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
4081
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
4082
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4084
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
4085
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
4087
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
4088
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
4090
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
4091
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
4092
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
4093
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

4103
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
4109
:Released: 2008-09-24
4111
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
4112
file paths when we encounter complex history.
4117
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
4118
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
4119
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
4120
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
4121
(John Arbash Meinel)
4127
:Released: 2008-09-23
4129
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
4130
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
4131
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
4132
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
4133
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
4134
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
4139
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
4140
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
4141
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
4147
:Released: 2008-09-17
4149
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
4150
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
4151
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
4152
connect to the stacked-on location.
4157
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4158
repository now preserves the repository format.
4159
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4161
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
4162
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
4164
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
4167
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4174
:Released: 2008-09-09
4176
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
4177
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
4178
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
4179
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
4180
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
4181
it in a future repository format.
4187
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
4190
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
4191
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
4192
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
4194
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
4195
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
4196
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
4201
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
4202
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
4204
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4209
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
4210
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
4213
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
4214
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
4216
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
4217
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
4220
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
4221
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
4222
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
4223
(John Arbash Meinel)
4225
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
4226
(Martin Pool, #261315)
4228
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
4229
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
4230
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
4231
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
4232
(John Arbash Meinel)
4234
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
4235
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
4236
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
4237
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
4238
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
4239
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
4240
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
4241
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
4242
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
4243
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4248
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
4249
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
4251
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
4252
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
4253
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
4255
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
4256
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
4257
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
4259
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
4260
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
4261
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
4262
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
4263
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
4264
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
4266
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
4267
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
4269
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
4270
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
4272
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
4273
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
4274
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
4275
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
4276
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
4277
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
4279
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
4280
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
4282
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
4283
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
4285
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
4286
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
4287
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
4288
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
4290
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
4291
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
4293
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
4294
assuming the host name is ascii.
4295
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
4297
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
4298
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
4303
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4308
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
4310
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
4311
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
4312
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
4315
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
4316
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4318
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
4319
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4321
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
4322
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4327
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
4328
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
4329
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
4330
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
4332
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
4336
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
4337
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
4338
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4340
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
4346
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
4347
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
4350
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
4351
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
4352
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
4353
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
4354
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4356
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
4357
is unknown in both source and target.
4358
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
4360
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
4361
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
4362
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
4363
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4365
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
4366
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
4367
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
4368
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

4376
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
4377
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
4378
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
4384
:Released: 2008-09-03
4389
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
4390
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
4391
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
4392
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
4398
:Released: 2008-08-29
4400
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
4401
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
4402
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
4403
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
4404
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
4405
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
4406
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
4407
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
4408
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
4409
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
4410
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
4411
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
4416
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
4417
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
4418
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
4419
start of the string (causing more copies).
4420
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
4421
especially for projects with large files.
4422
(John Arbash Meinel)
4424
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
4425
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
4426
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
4427
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
4428
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
4430
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
4431
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
4432
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
4433
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
4434
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
4443
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
4444
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
4445
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
4446
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
4447
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
4448
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
4449
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
4450
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
4451
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
4457
:Released: 2008-08-19
4462
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
4463
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
4464
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
4465
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
4466
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
4472
:Released: 2008-08-18
4477
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
4478
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
4479
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
4485
:Released: 2008-08-14
4490
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
4491
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
4497
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
4498
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
4499
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
4505
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
4506
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
4507
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
4509
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
4510
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
4511
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
4512
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
4513
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
4514
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
4515
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
4521
:Released: 2008-08-13
4523
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
4529
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
4530
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
4532
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
4533
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
4536
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
4537
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
4538
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
4539
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
4540
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
4542
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
4543
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4545
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
4546
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
4548
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
4549
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
4551
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
4552
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
4553
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
4554
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
4555
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
4556
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
4562
:Released: 2008-08-06
4564
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
4565
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
4566
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
4567
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
4568
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
4573
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
4574
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
4575
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
4580
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
4581
check. (Daniel Watkins)
4583
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
4584
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
4586
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
4587
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
4588
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4590
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
4593
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
4594
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
4595
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
4596
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
4597
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
4598
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
4599
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4601
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
4602
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
4603
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
4608
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
4609
physical repository boundaries.
4610
(Martin Pool, #252428)
4612
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
4613
(Martin Pool, #206258)
4615
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
4616
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
4619
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
4622
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
4623
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
4624
that Python is running from.
4625
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
4627
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
4628
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
4629
(Robert Collins, #150438)
4631
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
4632
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
4634
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
4635
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
4636
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
4638
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
4639
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
4641
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
4642
(James Westby, #248448)
4647
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4648
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4649
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4652
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4653
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4656
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4657
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4658
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4659
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4660
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4661
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4664
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4665
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4667
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4668
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4669
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4670
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4671
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4672
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
4677
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
4678
putting together a real history without having to create a full
4679
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
4680
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
4681
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
4682
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4684
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
4685
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
4686
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
4688
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
4691
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
4692
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
4694
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
4701
:Released: 2008-07-17
4703
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
4704
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
4705
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
4706
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
4712
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
4713
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
4714
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
4716
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
4717
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
4718
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
4719
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
4720
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
4723
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
4725
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
4726
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
4727
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
4733
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
4734
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
4737
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
4738
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
4739
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
4740
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
4742
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
4743
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
4744
(Christophe Troestler)
4746
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
4747
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
4749
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
4750
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
4751
faster. The new request method name is
4752
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4757
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
4758
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
4759
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
4760
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
4761
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
4763
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
4764
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
4766
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
4767
requires a branch to be present.
4768
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
4770
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
4772
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4774
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4775
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4776
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4777
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4779
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4780
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4782
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4784
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4786
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4787
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4788
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4789
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4790
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4792
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4793
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4795
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4796
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4798
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4800
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4802
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4803
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4805
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4806
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4811
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4814
* Updated developer documentation.
4820
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4821
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4823
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4824
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4825
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4826
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4831
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4832
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4833
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4834
Repository docstring for more details.
4837
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4838
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4839
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4841
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4842
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4845
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4846
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4847
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4848
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4853
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4854
(Alexander Belchenko)
4856
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4857
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4858
containing a given location.
4861
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4862
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4863
storage. (Robert Collins)
4865
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4868
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4869
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
4876
:Released: 2008-06-10
4878
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
4879
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
4880
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
4886
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
4887
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
4888
reading from the repository.)
4889
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
4891
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4892
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4894
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4895
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4898
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4899
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4900
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4902
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4903
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4904
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4906
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4907
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
4909
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4910
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4911
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4912
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4917
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4919
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4920
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4921
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4924
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4925
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4930
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4935
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4936
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4941
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4942
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4943
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4944
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4945
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4947
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4948
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4953
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4954
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4956
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4957
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4962
:Released: 2008-06-02
4964
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4965
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4966
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4967
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4968
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4969
and future extensions.
4972
Notes When Upgrading
4973
********************
4975
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4976
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4977
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4978
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4979
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4980
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4981
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4982
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4987
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4988
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4989
(John Arbash Meinel)
4994
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4995
load. (James Westby)
5000
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
5001
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
5002
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
5003
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5005
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
5006
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
5007
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
5009
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
5010
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
5012
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
5013
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
5014
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
5016
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
5017
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
5018
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
5019
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
5020
step closer to not using full revision history.
5021
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
5026
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
5027
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
5029
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5030
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5032
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
5033
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
5035
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
5036
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
5037
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
5038
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
5040
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
5041
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
5042
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
5043
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
5045
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
5046
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
5047
in use by another process.
5050
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
5051
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
5052
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
5053
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
5055
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
5056
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
5058
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
5059
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
5060
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
5062
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
5063
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
5064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
5066
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
5068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
5070
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
5071
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
5073
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
5074
under vim on Mac OS X.
5075
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5077
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
5078
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
5083
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
5084
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
5086
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5087
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5090
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
5091
and about use of Python reprs.
5092
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
5094
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
5099
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
5102
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5103
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5105
* New helper function for splitting test suites
5106
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
5111
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
5112
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
5113
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
5114
(John Arbash Meinel)
5119
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
5120
instead. (Martin Pool)
5122
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
5123
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
5124
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
5125
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
5127
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
5128
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
5129
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
5130
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
5131
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
5133
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
5134
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
5135
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
5136
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
5137
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
5138
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
5140
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
5141
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
5144
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
5145
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
5148
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
5149
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
5150
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
5151
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
5153
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
5154
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
5155
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5157
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
5158
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
5159
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
5160
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
5161
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
5164
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
5165
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
5166
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
5167
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
5170
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5171
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5172
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5173
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5174
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5176
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
5183
:Released: 2008-05-16
5185
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
5186
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
5187
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
5192
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
5193
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
5194
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5199
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5200
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5207
:Released: 2008-05-09
5212
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
5213
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
5214
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
5215
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
5220
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
5221
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
5223
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
5224
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
5226
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
5232
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
5233
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
5235
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
5236
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
5238
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
5239
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
5240
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
5242
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5243
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5244
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5246
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
5249
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
5250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
5252
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
5253
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
5255
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
5256
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
5258
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
5259
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
5261
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
5262
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
5263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
5265
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
5266
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
5268
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5269
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
5271
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5272
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5273
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5274
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
5276
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
5277
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
5280
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
5281
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
5282
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
5284
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5285
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5286
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5287
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
5288
every revision each side had in common.
5289
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5291
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
5292
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5294
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
5295
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
5296
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
5297
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
5302
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
5303
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
5304
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
5305
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
5307
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
5309
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
5311
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
5312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
5317
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
5318
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
5319
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
5321
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
5322
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
5323
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
5324
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5326
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
5327
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5329
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
5330
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
5331
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
5332
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5334
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
5335
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
5336
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
5337
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5342
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
5343
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
5344
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
5346
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
5348
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
5349
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
5351
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5352
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5354
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
5355
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
5360
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
5361
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
5362
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
5364
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
5365
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
5366
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
5369
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
5370
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
5373
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
5382
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
5383
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
5384
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
5385
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
5386
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
5387
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
5388
and faster performance.
5393
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5394
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5395
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

5402
:Released: 2008-04-21
5407
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5408
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5409
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5411
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
5412
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5414
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5415
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
5417
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5418
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5419
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5420

5428
:Released: 2008-04-11
5433
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
5435
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
5436
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
5438
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
5439
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
5440
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5442
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
5443
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
5444
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
5445
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
5446
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
5447
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
5450
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
5451
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
5452
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
5453
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
5458
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
5460
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
5461
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
5462
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
5464
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
5465
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
5466
See the User Reference for signature details.
5467
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
5469
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
5470
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
5475
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
5476
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
5477
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
5478
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5480
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
5481
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
5483
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
5484
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
5485
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
5488
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
5491
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
5492
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
5493
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
5495
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
5498
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
5499
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
5501
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
5502
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
5504
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
5505
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
5506
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
5508
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
5509
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
5510
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
5511
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
5512
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
5514
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
5515
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
5517
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
5518
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5523
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
5524
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
5525
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
5526
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
5527
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
5528
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
5530
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
5531
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
5533
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
5534
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
5535
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
5537
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
5538
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
5540
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
5541
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
5542
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
5543
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5545
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
5546
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
5547
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
5548
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
5549
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
5551
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
5553
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
5554
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
5556
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
5558
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
5559
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
5561
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
5562
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
5567
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
5569
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
5571
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5573
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
5578
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
5579
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
5580
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
5582
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
5583
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
5584
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
5585
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
5587
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
5588
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
5589
release. (James Westby)
5591
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
5594
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
5596
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
5597
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5599
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
5600
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5602
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
5603
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
5605
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
5606
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
5607
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
5609
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
5610
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
5611
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
5612
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
5614
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
5615
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
5616
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
5617
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
5619
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
5620
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
5621
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
5622
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
5623
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
5624
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
5626
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
5627
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
5628
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
5630
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
5631
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5633
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
5634
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
5637
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
5638
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
5640
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
5641
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
5643
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
5644
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
5646
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5647
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
5648
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
5650
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
5651
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
5652
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
5653
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
5654
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
5655
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
5660
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
5661
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
5662
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
5663
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
5665
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
5666
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
5667
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
5668
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
5672
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
5673
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
5676
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
5677
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
5679
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
5681
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
5682
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
5683
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
5688
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5690
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
5693
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
5694
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
5695
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
5696
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
5697
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
5698
(Martin Pool, #109520)
5700
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
5701
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
5703
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
5704
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
5705
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
5706
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
5708
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
5709
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
5711
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
5712
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5762
********************
5764
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
5765
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
5770
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
5771
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
5772
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5773
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5776
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5777
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5778
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5779
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
5780
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5781
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5783
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5784
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5785
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5786
(Alexander Belchenko)
5788
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5790
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5791
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5796
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5797
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5799
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5800
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5806
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5808
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5810
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5811
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5812
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5814
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5815
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5817
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5818
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5820
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5821
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5822
(Alexander Belchenko)
5824
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5825
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5826
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5827
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5829
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5832
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5833
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5834
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5835
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5836
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5841
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5842
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5843
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5844
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5846
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5847
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5849
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5850
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5896
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5897
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.

(Alexander Belchenko)
5903
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5905
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5906
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5912
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5913
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5914
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)

(Alexander Belchenko)
5921
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5922
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5923
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5924
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5926
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5927
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5928
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.

5936
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5937
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5939
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5940
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5941
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the

Notes When Upgrading
5962
********************
5964
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5965
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5966
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5967
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5968
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5974
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5975
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5977
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5978
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5979
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5981
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5982
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5983
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5984
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5985
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5986
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5992
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5993
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5995
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5996
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5997
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
6000
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
6001
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
6002
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
6003
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
6004
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
6006
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
6007
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
6008
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
6009
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
6010
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
6011
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
6012
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
6013
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
6018
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
6019
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
6021
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
6022
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6024
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
6025
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6027
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
6028
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
6029
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
6031
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
6032
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
6033
(John Arbash Meinel)
6038
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
6039
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
6041
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
6042
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
6044
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
6045
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
6047
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
6048
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
6049
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
6051
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
6052
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
6053
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
6055
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
6056
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
6058
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
6059
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
6060
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
6061
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
6062
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
6064
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6066
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
6067
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
6070
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
6071
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
6073
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
6074
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
6076
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
6077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
6079
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
6080
more characters which should be considered valid.
6081
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
6083
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
6084
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
6086
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
6087
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
6092
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
6093
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
6095
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
6096
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
6102
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
6103
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
6109
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
6110
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
6111
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
6113
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
6114
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
6115
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
6117
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
6118
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
6119
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
6120
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
6122
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
6124
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
6125
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
6126
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
6127
server. (Robert Collins)
6129
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
6130
operate. (Robert Collins)
6132
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
6133
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
6134
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
6136
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
6137
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
6138
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
6139
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
6141
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
6142
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
6144
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
6145
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
6146
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
6148
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
6149
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
6151
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
6152
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
6154
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6155
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
6156
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
6157
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

6170
:Released: 2008-01-05
6175
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6176
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6177
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
6178
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6180
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
6181
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
6182
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
6183
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
6188
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
6191
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
6194
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
6195
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
6200
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
6203
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
6204
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
6205
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
6207
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
6209
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
6210
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
6211
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
6212
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
6213
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
6215
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
6216
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
6217
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
6219
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
6220
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
6222
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
6225
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
6227
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
6229
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
6232
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
6233
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
6238
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
6239
(Martin Pool, #180208)
6241
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
6242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
6244
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
6247
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
6248
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
6250
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
6251
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
6253
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
6254
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6256
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
6257
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
6259
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
6260
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
6261
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
6263
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
6264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
6266
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
6267
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
6270
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
6272
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
6273
user:pass embedded in the urls.
6274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
6276
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
6277
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
6279
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
6282
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
6285
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
6286
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
6288
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
6291
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
6292
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
6295
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
6296
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
6297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
6302
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
6305
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
6306
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
6307
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
6308
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
6309
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
6310
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
6312
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
6317
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
6320
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
6321
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
6323
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
6325
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
6326
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
6327
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
6330
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
6331
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6333
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
6342
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
6343
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
6344
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
6346
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
6347
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
6350
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
6351
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
6353
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
6354
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6356
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
6357
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6359
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
6360
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
6361
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6363
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
6364
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
6366
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
6367
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6369
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
6370
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
6373
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
6374
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
6376
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
6377
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

6410
by mail to the mailing list.
6416
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
6418
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
6419
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
6420
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
6421
feedback but also incur more latency.
6422
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
6424
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
6425
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
6430
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6432
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
6438
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
6439
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
6440
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
6452
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6454
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
6457
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
6460
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
6461
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
6462
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
6463
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6465
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
6468
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
6469
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
6471
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
6472
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
6473
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
6475
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
6476
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
6477
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
6478
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
6479
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
6480
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
6481
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
6482
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
6483
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
6488
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
6491
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.

(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
6511
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
6512
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
6517
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
6518
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
6527
********************
6529
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
6530
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
6531
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
6532
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
6534
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
6535
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
6537
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
6538
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
6540
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
6541
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
6542
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
6543
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
6544
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
6545
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
6546
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
6547
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
6548
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
6549
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
6550
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
6551
from any tree without problems.
6552
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
6557
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
6558
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
6559
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
6561
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
6562
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
6568
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
6569
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
6570
supported transports.
6573
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
6574
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
6575
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
6577
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
6578
(Robert Collins, #154173)
6580
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
6581
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
6582
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
6583
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
6585
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
6586
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
6591
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
6592
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
6593
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
6594
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6596
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
6597
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
6598
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
6599
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
6601
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
6602
(Robert Collins, #88319)
6604
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
6605
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
6607
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
6608
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
6610
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
6611
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
6617
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
6620
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
6621
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
6624
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
6625
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
6626
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
6627
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
6629
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
6630
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
6631
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
6632
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
6640
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
6641
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6643
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6644
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6646
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6647
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6649
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6652
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6653
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6655
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6656
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6658
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6661
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6664
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6667
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6668
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6671
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6672
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
6674
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6675
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
6677
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
6678
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
6680
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
6681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
6683
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
6684
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
6685
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
6686
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
6688
(Martin Pool, #164637)
6690
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
6691
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
6692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
6694
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
6695
(Robert Collins, #161240)
6697
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
6699
(Martin Pool, #164443)
6701
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
6702
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
6704
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
6705
specify a port in urls.
6706
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
6708
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
6709
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
6711
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
6712
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
6714
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
6715
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
6717
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
6718
(Robert Collins, #153789)
6720
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
6721
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
6722
(Robert Collins, #165304).
6724
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
6726
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
6727
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
6729
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
6732
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
6733
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
6735
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
6736
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
6738
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
6739
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
6740
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
6742
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
6743
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
6745
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
6746
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
6747
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
6748
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
6750
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
6751
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
6753
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
6754
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
6755
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
6757
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
6758
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
6760
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
6761
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
6763
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
6764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
6769
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
6770
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
6772
* The return value of
6773
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6774
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6775
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6776
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6778
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6781
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6782
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6789
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6790
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6791
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6794
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6795
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6797
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6803
:Released: 2007-11-05
6808
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
6814
:Released: 2007-10-29
6819
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6820
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6822
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6823
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6824
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6825
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6826
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6827
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6828
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6829
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6830
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6831
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6832
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6833
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6839
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6840
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6841
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6842
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6843
commands. (Robert Collins)
6845
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6846
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6847
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6850
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6852
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6853
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6855
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6856
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6859
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6860
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6861
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6866
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6867
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6869
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6870
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6872
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6873
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6874
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6875
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6877
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6880
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6881
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6882
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6883
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6885
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6886
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6888
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6889
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6891
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6892
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6894
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6895
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6900
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6901
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6903
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6904
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6906
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6907
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6909
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6910
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6912
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6913
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6918
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6920
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6926
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6927
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6928
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6930
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6931
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6933
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6934
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6936
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6937
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6938
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6939
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6941
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6942
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6943
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6944
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6945
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6947
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6948
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6952
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6954
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6955
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6957
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6958
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6960
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6963
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6964
contains a symbolic link.
6965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6967
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6968
(James Westby, #140615)
6970
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6971
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6974
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6975
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6976
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6978
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6980
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6983
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6987
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6988
directory to detect leaking tests.
6989
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6991
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6992
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6993
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6995
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6998
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6999
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
7001
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
7007
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
7008
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
7010
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
7011
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
7012
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
7014
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
7015
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
7016
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
7018
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
7019
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
7021
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
7022
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
7024
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
7025
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
7028
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
7029
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
7031
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
7032
class that needs it.
7035
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
7036
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
7038
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
7039
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
7040
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
7042
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
7043
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
7044
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
7047
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
7048
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
7049
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
7050
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
7056
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
7057
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
7058
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
7060
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
7061
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
7062
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
7063
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
7065
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
7066
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
7069
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
7070
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
7071
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
7073
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
7074
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
7075
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
7077
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
7078
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
7080
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
7081
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
7082
to complete. (Robert Collins)
7084
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
7085
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
7087
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
7088
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
7089
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
7091
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
7092
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
7093
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
7095
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
7096
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
7097
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
7098
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
7100
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
7101
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
7102
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
7103
returned. (Robert Collins)
7105
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
7106
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
7108
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
7109
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
7110
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
7111
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
7114
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
7115
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
7120
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
7121
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
7123
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
7124
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
7125
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
7126
makes this behavior available to other users.
7129
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
7130
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
7136
:Released: 2007-09-26
7141
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7142
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7143
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7145
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7147
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
7148
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
7149
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
7150
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
7152
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
7153
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
7160
:Released: 2007-09-11
7162
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
7163
in bzrlib/remote.py.
7169
:Released: 2007-09-11
7174
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7175
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7176
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7177
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7180
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7181
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7182
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7188
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7189
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7190
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
7193
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
7194
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
7195
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
7197
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
7198
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
7199
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
7201
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
7202
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
7204
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
7205
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
7206
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
7207
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
7208
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
7209
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
7210
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
7211
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
7212
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
7213
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
7215
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
7216
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
7218
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
7219
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
7220
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7225
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
7226
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
7228
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
7229
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
7230
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
7232
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
7233
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
7235
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
7236
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
7238
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
7241
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
7242
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
7244
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
7245
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
7247
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
7248
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7250
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
7251
(Blake Winton, #129299)
7253
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
7255
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
7258
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
7259
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
7260
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
7261
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
7263
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7265
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
7266
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
7269
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
7270
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
7272
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
7273
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
7276
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
7277
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
7279
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
7280
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
7282
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
7283
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
7284
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
7285
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
7286
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
7287
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
7288
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
7290
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
7291
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
7293
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
7294
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
7296
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
7297
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
7299
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
7300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
7302
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
7304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
7306
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
7307
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
7309
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
7310
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
7311
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
7313
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7314
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7315
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7320
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
7321
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7323
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
7326
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
7329
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
7330
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7332
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
7334
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
7335
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
7337
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
7338
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
7340
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
7341
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
7342
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
7343
space). (Robert Collins)
7345
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
7346
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
7349
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
7350
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7352
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
7353
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
7355
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
7356
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
7357
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
7358
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
7360
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
7361
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
7362
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
7365
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
7368
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
7369
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
7370
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
7372
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
7373
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
7374
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
7375
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
7376
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
7381
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
7382
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
7384
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
7385
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
7386
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
7387
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
7388
affected. (Robert Collins)
7390
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
7391
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
7392
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
7395
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7396
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7401
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
7402
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
7404
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
7405
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7407
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7408
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7410
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
7413
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
7414
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7419
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
7420
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
7421
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
7422
its version information. (Robert Collins)
7424
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
7425
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7427
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
7428
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
7429
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
7430
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7432
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
7433
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
7434
present. (Robert Collins)
7436
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
7437
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
7438
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
7439
API. (Robert Collins)
7441
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
7442
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
7445
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
7446
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
7448
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
7449
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
7450
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
7451
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
7452
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
7453
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
7455
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
7456
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
7457
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
7459
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
7460
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
7461
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
7462
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
7465
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
7468
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
7469
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
7470
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
7471
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
7472
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
7473
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
7474
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
7476
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
7477
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
7478
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
7479
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
7481
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
7482
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
7483
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
7484
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
7485
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
7486
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
7488
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
7489
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
7490
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
7492
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
7493
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7499
:Released: 2007-08-28
7504
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
7505
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
7506
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
7507
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
7508
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
7509
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
7510
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
7511
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
7517
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
7518
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
7519
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
7525
:Released: 2007-08-14
7530
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
7531
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7532
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
7533
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
7534
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
7536
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
7537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
7539
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
7541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
7543
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
7544
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
7547
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
7548
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
7551
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
7554
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
7555
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
7557
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
7558
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
7560
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7561
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7563
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7564
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
7566
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
7567
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
7569
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
7575
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
7576
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
7578
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
7579
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
7581
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
7582
the repository (Robert Collins)
7584
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
7585
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
7586
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
7587
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
7588
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
7590
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
7591
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7593
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
7594
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
7595
(John Arbash Meinel)
7597
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
7598
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
7599
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
7601
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
7602
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
7603
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
7604
(John Arbash Meinel)
7606
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
7607
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
7610
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
7611
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
7613
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
7616
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
7618
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
7620
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
7621
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
7623
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
7624
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
7627
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
7628
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
7629
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
7630
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7632
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
7633
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
7634
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
7636
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
7637
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
7638
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
7640
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
7641
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7643
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7644
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7645
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7646
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7647
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7648
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7651
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7652
(Alexander Belchenko)
7654
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7655
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7657
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7658
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7660
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7662
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7663
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7668
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7669
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7670
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7671
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7673
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7675
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
7678
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
7679
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
7680
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
7681
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
7682
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
7683
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
7688
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
7689
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
7690
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
7691
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
7693
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
7694
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
7695
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
7696
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
7697
tests have been refactored too.
7700
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
7701
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
7702
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
7706
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
7707
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
7708
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7710
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
7711
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
7712
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
7713
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
7714
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
7715
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
7716
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
7718
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
7719
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
7720
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
7721
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
7722
(John Arbash Meinel)
7724
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
7725
functionality for testing.
7727
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
7729
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
7730
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7732
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
7734
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
7737
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
7738
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
7740
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
7741
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
7742
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
7744
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
7747
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
7748
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
7750
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
7751
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
7752
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
7753
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
7755
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
7756
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
7758
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
7759
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
7760
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
7762
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
7765
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
7766
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
7767
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
7768
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
7769
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
7770
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
7772
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7773
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7774
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7775
many files. (Robert Collins)
7777
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7778
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7779
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7780
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7785
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7786
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7787
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7789
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7790
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7792
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7793
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7794
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7824

* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7827

7845
individually and as part of revision ranges.

7848
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.

* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7859
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7864
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7865
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7866
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7867
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7868
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7869
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7871
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7872
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7873
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7875
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7878
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7879
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7881
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7882
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7884
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7885
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7887
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7888
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7889
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7890
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7891
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7893
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7894
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7896
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7897
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7898
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7900
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7901
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7903
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
7905
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7906
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7908
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7909
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7912
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7915
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7916
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7918
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7919
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7921
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7922
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7924
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7926
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7927
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7929
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7935
* Testing cleanups -
7936
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7937
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7938
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7939
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7940
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7941
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7942
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7943
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7944
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7945
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7946
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7947

7948
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

7950
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7951
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7952
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7955
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7957
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7958
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7959
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7961
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7962
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7964
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7965
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7967
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7969
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7970
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7971
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7972
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7973
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7974
same location. (Robert Collins)
7979
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7981
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7983
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7985
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7988
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7991
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7992
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7993
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7995
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7997
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7998
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7999
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
8001
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
8002
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
8004
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
8005
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
8006
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
8008
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
8009
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
8010
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
8012
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
8013
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
8014
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
8016
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
8017
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
8020
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
8021
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
8023
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
8024
(Alexander Belchenko)
8029
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
8030
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
8031
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
8032
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8034
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
8035
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
8036
testing. (Robert Collins)
8038
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
8039
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
8041
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
8042
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
8043
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
8044
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
8045
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
8046
attribute during the test parameterisation in
8047
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
8049
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
8050
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
8051
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
8052
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
8054
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
8055
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
8057
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
8058
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
8083
********************
8085
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8086
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
8087
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8088
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
8089
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
8090
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
8091
and unlock() like so::
8093
work_tree.lock_read()
8095
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
8101
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
8102
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
8104
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8105
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
8106
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
8108
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
8109
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
8110
too. (Robert Collins)
8115
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
8116
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
8119
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
8120
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
8122
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
8123
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
8125
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
8126
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
8127
understanding what changes have occurred
8128
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
8130
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
8131
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
8132
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8134
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
8135
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
8136
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
8137
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
8139
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
8145
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
8146
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
8147
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8148
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
8149
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
8151
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
8152
based on split paths, not just string paths.
8153
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
8155
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
8156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
8158
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
8160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
8162
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
8163
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8165
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8166
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8168
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8169
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8171
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8172
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
8174
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
8175
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
8177
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
8178
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
8179
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
8184
:Released: 2007-05-07
8189
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
8190
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
8191
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
8192
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
8193
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
8195
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
8196
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
8197
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
8199
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
8200
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
8205
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
8206
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
8207
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
8209
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
8210
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
8211
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
8212
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
8217
:Released: 2007-04-30
8222
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
8223
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
8224
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
8225
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
8227
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
8228
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
8229
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
8231
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
8232
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
8234
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
8235
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
8237
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
8238
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
8243
:Released: 2007-04-26
8245
Notes When Upgrading
8246
********************
8248
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
8249
it could be recovered again.
8250
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8251
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
8252
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
8254
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
8256
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
8257
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
8262
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
8263
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8265
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
8266
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
8267
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
8268
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
8270
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
8271
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
8273
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
8274
tests with names that match that regular expression.
8275
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
8277
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
8278
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
8279
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
8281
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
8282
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
8283
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
8285
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
8286
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
8289
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
8292
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
8293
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
8294
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
8295
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
8297
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
8300
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
8301
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
8302
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
8305
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
8306
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
8308
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
8309
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
8311
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
8312
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
8313
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
8314
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
8317
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
8318
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
8320
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
8321
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8323
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
8324
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
8325
(Robert Collins, #107125).
8327
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
8328
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
8329
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
8331
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
8332
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
8333
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8335
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
8336
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
8337
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
8338
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
8340
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
8341
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
8342
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
8343
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
8345
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
8346
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
8347
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
8348
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
8349
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
8350
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
8351
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
8352
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
8359
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
8360
code paths. (Robert Collins)
8362
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
8363
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
8364
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
8365
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
8366
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8368
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
8369
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
8371
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
8372
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
8374
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
8375
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
8377
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
8378
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
8380
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
8381
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
8382
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
8385
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
8386
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
8387
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
8388
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
8389
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
8392
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
8393
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
8394
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
8396
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
8397
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
8400
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
8401
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
8402
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
8405
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
8406
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
8407
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
8408
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
8409
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
8411
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
8412
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
8413
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
8414
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8416
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
8417
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8419
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
8420
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
8421
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
8422
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
8423
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
8424
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
8426
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
8427
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
8429
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
8430
help. (Robert Collins)
8432
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
8433
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8435
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
8436
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
8437
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
8438
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
8439
(John Arbash Meinel)
8441
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
8442
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
8443
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
8444
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
8445
useful. (Robert Collins)
8447
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
8453
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
8454
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
8456
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
8457
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
8459
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
8460
properly and is no longer beneficial.
8461
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
8463
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
8466
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
8467
the file, and does it faster.
8468
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
8470
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
8471
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
8472
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
8474
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
8475
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
8476
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
8477
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
8479
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
8480
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
8481
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
8482
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
8484
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
8485
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
8487
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
8488
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
8489
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
8490
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
8493
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
8495
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
8496
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
8498
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
8499
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
8501
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
8502
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
8503
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
8504
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
8508
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
8509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
8514
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
8515
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
8516
in running it. (Robert Collins)
8518
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
8519
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
8521
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
8522
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
8523
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
8524
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
8525
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
8526
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
8527
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
8528
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8530
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
8531
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
8532
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8534
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
8535
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
8536
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
8537
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
8538
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
8540
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8542
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
8543
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
8544
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8546
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
8547
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
8553
:Released: 2007-04-01
8558
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
8561
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
8562
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
8568
:Released: 2007-03-26
8573
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
8574
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
8580
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
8581
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
8582
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
8583
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
8584
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
8585
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
8586
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
8587
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
8593
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
8594
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
8595
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
8597
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
8598
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
8601
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
8602
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
8603
(John Arbash Meinel)
8605
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
8606
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
8607
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
8608
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
8609
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
8614
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
8617
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
8618
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
8620
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
8621
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
8623
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
8624
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
8625
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
8627
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
8628
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
8630
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
8631
last-changed-revision for directories. The
8632
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
8633
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
8634
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
8636
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
8637
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
8638
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
8640
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

8648
Notes When Upgrading
8649
********************
8651
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8652
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8653
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8658
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8659
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8661
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8662
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8664
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8666
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8667
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8669
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8670
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8675
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
8681
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
8682
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
8683
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
8684
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
8686
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
8687
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
8689
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
8690
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
8692
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
8695
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
8696
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
8702
:Released: 2007-03-07
8707
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
8708
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
8709
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
8710
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
8711
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
8712
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
8714
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
8715
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
8716
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8717
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
8718
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
8719
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
8721
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8723
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
8724
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
8725
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
8726
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
8727
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
8728
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
8729
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
8730
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8735
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
8736
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8738
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
8739
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
8740
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
8741
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
8743
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
8744
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
8745
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
8746
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
8747
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
8749
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
8752
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
8755
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
8758
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
8759
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
8762
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
8765
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
8766
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
8768
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
8769
directory. (Martin Pool)
8771
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
8772
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8773
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8774
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8776
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8777
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8778
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8779
in docs/configuration.txt.
8781
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8782
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8785
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8786
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8787
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8788
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8789
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8790
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8792
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8793
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8795
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8796
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8798
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8804
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8805
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8806
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8807
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8808
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8809
(John Arbash Meinel)
8811
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8812
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8815
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8816
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8817
(John Arbash Meinel)
8819
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8820
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8821
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8822
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8823
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8824
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8826
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8827
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8828
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8830
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8831
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8832
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8833
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8835
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8837
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8838
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8839
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8840
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8842
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8843
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8844
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8845
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8847
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8848
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8849
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8851
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8852
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8853
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8855
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8856
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8857
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8858
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8860
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8861
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8862
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8864
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8865
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8866
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8868
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8869
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8870
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8871
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8872
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8873
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8874
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8875
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8876
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
8877
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
8878
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8883
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8884
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8885
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8887
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8890
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8891
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8892
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8893
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8895
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8896
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8899
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8900
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)

* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8904
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8905
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8906
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8908
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

8929
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

8940
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
8945
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8946
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8947
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8949
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8950
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8951
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8957
:Released: 2007-01-16
8962
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8963
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8964
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8965
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8967
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8970
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8971
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8972
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8974
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8975
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8977
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8980
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8981
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8982
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8983
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8984
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8985
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8987
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8988
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8989
should enable you to do::
8991
[/home/user/project]
8992
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8993
push_location:policy = appendpath
8995
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8996
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8999
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
9000
for each file. For example::
9002
$ bzr status --short
9008
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
9009
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
9011
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
9013
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
9014
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
9016
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
9021
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
9022
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
9023
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
9024
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
9026
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
9027
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
9028
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
9030
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
9032
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
9033
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
9034
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
9035
(Alexander Belchenko)
9037
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
9040
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
9041
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
9043
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
9048
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
9049
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
9051
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
9052
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
9053
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
9054
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
9055
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
9057
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
9058
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
9060
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
9061
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
9063
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
9065
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
9067
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
9068
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
9069
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
9070
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
9071
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
9073
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
9074
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
9075
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
9076
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
9078
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
9079
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
9081
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
9082
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
9084
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
9085

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
9109
(Daniel Silverstone)
9111
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
9112
operations are substantially faster.
9113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
9115
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
9116
tree from some other url. For example:
9117
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
9118
(Daniel Silverstone)
9120
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
9121
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
9122
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
9123
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
9125
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
9128
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
9129
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
9130
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
9131
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
9132
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
9133
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
9138
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
9139
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
9142
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9143
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9144
(John Arbash Meinel)
9146
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
9147
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
9148
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
9149
(John Arbash Meinel)
9151
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
9152
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
9154
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
9155
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9157
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
9158
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
9164
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
9165
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
9166
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
9168
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
9169
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
9170
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
9171
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
9173
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
9175
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
9176
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
9178
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
9179
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
9180
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
9181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
9183
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
9184
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
9185
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
9187
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
9188
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
9189
them as full references rather than integers.
9190
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
9192
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
9193
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
9195
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
9197
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
9198
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
9200
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
9201
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
9203
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
9204
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
9205
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
9206
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
9208
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
9209
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
9210
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
9212
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
9213
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
9215
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
9216
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
9217
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
9218
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

9247
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
9248
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
9249
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
9250
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
9252
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
9253
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
9255
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
9257
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
9258
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
9259
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
9260
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9262
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
9263
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
9264
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
9265
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
9266
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
9271
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
9272
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
9277
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
9278
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
9279
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9281
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
9282
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
9283
(John Arbash Meinel)
9285
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
9286
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
9287
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
9289
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
9290
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
9293
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
9294
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
9295
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9297
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
9298
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
9299
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
9300
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
9301
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
9302
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9304
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
9305
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
9306
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
9309
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
9310
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
9315
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
9316
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
9317
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
9320
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
9321
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
9323
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
9324
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
9325
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
9327
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
9328
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
9330
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
9331
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
9332
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
9333
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
9335
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
9336
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
9338
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
9339
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
9340
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
9342
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
9343
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
9345
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9347
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
9348
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
9354
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
9355
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
9356
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
9357
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
9359
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
9360
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
9392
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
9393
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
9394
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9395
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
9396
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
9397
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
9399
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
9400
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
9401
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)

* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
9405
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
9406
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
9408
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
9409
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
9410
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
9413
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
9414
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
9415
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
9416
(John Arbash Meinel)
9418
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
9419
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
9420
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
9421
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
9424
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
9425
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
9426
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
9427
(John Arbash Meinel)
9432
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
9433
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
9435
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
9437
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
9438
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
9439
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
9441
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
9442
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
9444
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
9445
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
9447
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
9448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
9450
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
9451
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
9453
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
9455
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
9456
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
9458
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
9459
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
9461
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
9462
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
9464
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
9465
(John Arbash Meinel)
9467
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
9468
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
9469
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
9471
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
9472
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9474
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
9475
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
9476
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
9477
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
9479
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
9480
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
9481
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
9483
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
9484
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
9489
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
9494
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
9495
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
9496
(John Arbash Meinel)
9498
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
9499
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
9500
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
9501
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9503
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
9506
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
9507
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
9508
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
9510
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
9511
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
9513
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
9514
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
9515
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
9517
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
9518
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
9519
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
9520
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
9521
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
9522
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
9523
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
9524
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
9525
caller to repeat their request.
9526
(John Arbash Meinel)
9528
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
9529
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
9531
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
9532
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
9534
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
9535
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
9536
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
9537
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
9538
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
9539
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
9540
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
9542
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
9543
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
9544
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
9545
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
9546
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
9547
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
9548
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
9549
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
9552
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
9553
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
9554
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
9556
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
9557
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
9559
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
9560
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9562
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
9563
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9568
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
9569
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
9571
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
9572
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
9573
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9575
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
9576
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
9577
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9582
:Released: 2006-08-29
9586
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
9587
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
9589
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
9590
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
9591
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
9592
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
9593
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
9595
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
9596
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
9597
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
9599
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
9600
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
9602
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
9603
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
9604
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9609
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
9611
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
9612
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
9613
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
9615
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
9617
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
9619
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
9620
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
9621
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
9622
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
9624
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
9625
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
9626
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
9627
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
9628
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
9630
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
9631
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
9633
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
9634
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
9636
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
9637
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
9639
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
9640
in handling of revision properties.
9641
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9643
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9644
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9649
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9650
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9651
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9652
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9653
(John Arbash Meinel)
9655
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9656
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9657
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9662
:Released: 2006-08-11
9667
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9668
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9669
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9670
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9671
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9672
a more conservative list than the old default.
9673
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9674
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9675
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
9676
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
9678
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
9679
to more locations than just branch locations.
9685
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
9686
revno:N:branch. For example,
9687
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
9688
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
9690
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
9691
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
9692
the path of a file that has been versioned.
9693
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9694
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9695
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
9696
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
9697
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
9700
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
9701
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
9702
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
9705
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
9706
(Alexander Belchenko)
9708
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
9710
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
9713
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
9714
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
9715
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
9716
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
9717
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
9718
(John Arbash Meinel)
9720
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
9721
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
9722
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
9723
grained analysis of performance.
9724
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9726
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
9727
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
9729
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
9730
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
9731
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
9732
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
9733
file. (Robert Collins).
9735
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
9736
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
9737
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
9739
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
9740
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
9743
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
9744
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
9746
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
9747
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
9748
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
9749
the same way you would apply another branch.
9750
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
9752
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
9753
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
9755
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
9758
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
9761
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
9762
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
9763
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
9765
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
9766
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
9767
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
9769
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
9770
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
9772
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9773
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9774
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9775
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9776
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9778
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9779
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9781
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9782
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9783
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9784
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9785
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9786
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9787
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9788
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9790
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9791
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9792
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9797
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9799
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9801
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9802
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9804
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9805
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9807
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9808
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9810
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9812
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9813
(John Arbash Meinel)
9815
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9816
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9818
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9819
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9822
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9823
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9825
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9826
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9828
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9829
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9830
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9831
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9833
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9834
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9836
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9838
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9839
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9841
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9843
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9845
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9846
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9848
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9849
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9851
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9852
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9853
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9855
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9856
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9857
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9859
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9860
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9862
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9863
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9865
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9866
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9868
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9869
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9871
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9872
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9874
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9875
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9876
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9878
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9880
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9881
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9886
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9887
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9888
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9890
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9891
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9893
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9894
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9895
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9897
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9898
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9900
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9901
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9904
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9905
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9906
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9908
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9909
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9910
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9912
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9913
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9914
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9916
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9917
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9918
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9920
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9921
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9922
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9924
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9925
instead. (Robert Collins)
9927
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
9932
:Released: 2006-05-17
9937
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
9942
:Released: 2006-05-16
9947
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
9948
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
9950
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9951
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9953
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9954
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9955
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9960
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9962
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9963
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9965
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9970
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9971
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9972
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9973
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9978
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9979
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9980
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9985
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9986
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9987
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9992
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
9993
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
10001
********************
10003
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
10004
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
10005
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
10006
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
10007
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
10008
will keep the same format.
10010
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
10011
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
10012
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
10013
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
10014
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
10016
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
10017
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
10018
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
10019
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
10020
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
10021
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
10022
indicating the current revision of the branch.
10024
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
10025
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
10026
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
10027
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
10028
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
10030
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
10031
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
10032
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
10039
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
10040
convention. Paths now take the form::
10042
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10044
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
10046
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
10047
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
10049
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
10050
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
10051
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
10053
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
10054
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
10055
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
10056
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
10058
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
10059
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
10060
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
10062
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
10064
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
10066
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
10067
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
10070
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
10071
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
10072
| xargs bzr re-sign
10074
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
10076
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
10077
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
10078
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
10081
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
10083
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
10085
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
10088
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
10089
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
10091
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
10092
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
10093
Daniel Silverstone)
10095
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
10096
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
10099
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
10101
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
10103
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
10104
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
10106
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
10107
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
10108
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
10109
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
10110
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
10111
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
10113
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
10115
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
10116
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
10119
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
10120
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
10122
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
10123
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
10125
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
10127
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
10128
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
10129
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
10130
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
10131
specification by Martin Pool.
10132
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
10134
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
10137
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
10138
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10140
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10141
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10142
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10144
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10146
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10147
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10153
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
10154
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10156
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10158
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10160
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10163
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10164
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10165
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10166
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
10171
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10172
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
10173
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10174
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10176
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10177
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10178
tried. (Martin Pool)
10180
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10183
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10185
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10186
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
10187
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
10189
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10190
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10192
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
10193
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
10194
paths. (Robert Collins)
10196
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
10197
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
10198
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
10200
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
10201
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
10202
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
10204
* Progress bars are now nested - see
10205
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
10206
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10208
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
10211
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
10214
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
10216
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
10218
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
10219
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
10220
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
10223
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
10224
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
10226
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
10227
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
10228
check. (Robert Collins)
10230
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
10231
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
10236
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
10237
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
10239
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
10240
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
10241
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
10242
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
10244
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
10245
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
10246
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
10247
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
10248
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
10250
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
10251
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
10252
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
10254
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
10256
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
10257
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
10262
:Released: 2006-01-09
10267
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
10268
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
10270
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
10271
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10272
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
10275
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
10276
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
10278
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
10279
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
10280
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
10281
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
10282
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
10284
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
10285
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
10286
used. (Robert Collins)
10288
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
10289
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
10292
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
10293
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
10294
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
10296
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
10299
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
10300
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
10305
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
10306
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
10308
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10310
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10312
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
10313
tree. (Robert Collins)
10315
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
10316
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10317
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
10320
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
10323
* Tweaks to short log printing
10325
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
10328
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
10329
occurs. (Martin Pool)
10331
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
10332
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
10334
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
10335
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
10337
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
10338
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
10339
settings. (Magnus Therning)
10341
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
10342
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10344
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
10345
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
10348
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
10349
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
10351
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
10352
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
10354
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
10355
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
10357
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
10360
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
10361
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
10363
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
10364
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
10366
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
10367
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
10368
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
10373
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
10375
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10377
* Error when run with -OO
10379
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
10382
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
10384
* Change status to 3 for all errors
10386
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
10387
ignored by diff and status
10389
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
10390
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
10392
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
10394
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
10396
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
10397
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
10399
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
10400
email address. (Marien Zwart)
10402
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
10405
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
10406
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10408
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
10410
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
10411
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
10413
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
10416
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
10417
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
10419
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
10424
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
10425
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
10427
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10429
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10431
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
10433
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
10434
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
10435
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10437
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10439
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
10440
(John Arbash Meinel)
10442
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
10444
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
10445
If adding a new test script please add that to
10446
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
10448
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
10449
imported. (Martin Pool)
10451
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
10452
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
10453
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
10454
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
10455
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
10458
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
10459
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
10460
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
10462
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
10463
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
10464
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10466
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
10467
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
10468
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
10469
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
10470
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
10473
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
10474
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
10480
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
10481
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
10483
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
10484
function. (Robert Collins)
10486
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
10487
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
10488
if needed). (Robert Collins)
10490
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
10491
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
10494
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
10495
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
10496
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
10497
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
10498
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
10499
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
10500
version. (Robert Collins)
10502
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
10503
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
10505
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
10506
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
10507
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
10508
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
10509
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
10510
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
10512
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
10515
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
10525
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
10527
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
10529
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
10532
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
10533
query method. (Robert Collins)
10535
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
10538
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
10541
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
10544
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
10545
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
10546
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
10547
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
10549
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
10550
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
10551
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
10552
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
10554
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
10555
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
10560
:Released: 2005-10-28
10565
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
10568
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
10572
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
10573
a separator, not ':'.
10576
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
10577
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
10578
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
10580
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10581
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
10584
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
10585
has been added that suppresses all output.
10587
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
10590
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
10591
Goffredo Baroncelli.
10593
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
10594
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
10596
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
10597
a revision. (Robert Collins)
10599
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
10600
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
10601
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
10602
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
10604
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
10606
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
10607
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
10609
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
10610
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
10612
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
10613
output directory, if one was supplied.
10615
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
10616
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
10617
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
10618
parameters. (Robert Collins)
10620
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
10622
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
10623
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
10625
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
10626
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
10627
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
10629
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
10630
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
10632
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
10635
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
10637
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
10642
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10643
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10644
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10646
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10647
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10648
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10650
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10651
is given. (Martin Pool)
10653
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10654
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10655
file. (Robert Collins)
10657
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10663
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10664
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10665
representation. (Martin Pool).
10667
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10668
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10669
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10671
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10674
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10675
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
10678
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10679
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
10680
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
10681
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
10682
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
10684
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
10685
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
10686
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
10687
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
10688
python path. (Robert Collins)
10690
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
10691
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
10692
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
10693
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
10695
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
10696
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
10698
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
10699
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
10702
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
10703
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
10704
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
10706
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
10707
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
10708
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
10710
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10711
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10713
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
10714
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
10715
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
10718
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
10719
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
10720
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
10721
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
10724
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
10727
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
10728
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
10731
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
10732
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
10733
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
10735
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
10736
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
10737
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
10739
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
10740
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
10741
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
10743
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10744
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10746
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
10747
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
10748
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
10749
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
10750
caller. (Robert Collins)
10752
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
10753
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
10756
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
10757
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
10760
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
10762
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
10763
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
10768
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
10769
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
10771
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
10772
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
10778
:Released: 2005-10-12
10783
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10784
allow directories to be listed.
10786
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10787
upgrading branch format.
10792
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10798
:Released: 2005-10-11
10803
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10804
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10805
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10806
high-latency connections.
10811
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10814
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10815
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10817
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10818
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10819
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10820
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10822
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10823
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10825
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10826
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10828
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10829
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10830
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10832
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10833
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10834
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10837
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10838
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10840
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10841
different partial views of history.
10843
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10844
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10849
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10850
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10851
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10853
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10854
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10857
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10858
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10860
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10863
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10864
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10866
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10867
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10868
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10869
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10871
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10873
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10874
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10877
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10878
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10880
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10881
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10882
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10888
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10889
for your viewing pleasure.
10891
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10892
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10894
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10895
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10896
handling of such circumstances.
10898
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10899
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10900
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10902
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10904
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10905
we call them revisions not patches.
10907
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10908
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10910
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10911
giving the revision *of that file*.
10913
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10914
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10915
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10920
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10921
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10923
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10924
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
10930
:Released: 2005-09-23
10935
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10937
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10940
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10942
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10944
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10945
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10950
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10951
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10953
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10954
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10955
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10956
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10959
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10960
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10965
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10967
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10968
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10974
:Released: 2005-09-20
10980
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10981
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10982
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10983
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10986
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10989
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10990
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10991
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10992
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10993
for the operating system is still tried.
10995
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10996
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10997
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
11003
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
11008
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
11010
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
11013
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
11020
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
11022
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
11033
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
11034
help with intelligent shell completion.
11036
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
11042
* Much better merge support.
11044
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
11045
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
11052
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
11053
mention revisions that are not present.
11055
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
11057
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
11059
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
11060
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
11066
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
11068
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
11069
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
11076
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
11077
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
11085
:Released: 2005-08-18
11090
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
11091
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
11093
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
11095
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11096
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
11098
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
11101
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
11103
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
11106
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
11107
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
11109
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
11110
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
11111
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
11117
* Faster working tree operations.
11123
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
11124
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
11125
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
11126
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
11128
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
11129
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
11130
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
11131
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
11132
standard plugins directory.
11134
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
11135
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
11136
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
11137
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
11139
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
11140
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
11142
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
11145
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
11146
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
11147
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
11149
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
11150
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
11152
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
11153
line options must come before the command name because they
11154
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
11155
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
11158
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
11160
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
11161
is available with ``--short``.
11167
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
11173
:Released: 2005-06-15
11178
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
11179
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11181
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
11182
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
11183
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11184
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
11186
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
11187
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
11188
with the ``--forward`` option.
11190
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
11191

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
11271
