* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on

BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
8
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
13
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
16
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
18
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like

bzr 2.2.0b1 (not released yet)

##############################
17
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` has been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
22
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
23
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
24
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
25
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
26
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
28
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
29
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
30
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
36
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
37
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
42
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
43
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
45
bzr 2.1.0 (not released yet)

############################
53
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
54
to the Ubuntu Units Policy, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy.
55
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
57
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
58
(Martin Pool, #513432)
60
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
61
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
63
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
64
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
66
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
67
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
68
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
79
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
80
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
83
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
84
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
87
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
88
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
95
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
96
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
97
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
98
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
99
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
100
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
101
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
102
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
104
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
111
:Codename: after the bubbles
112
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
114
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
115
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
120
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
121
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
122
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
123
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
124
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
125
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
126
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
132
:Codename: the 'new' stable
133
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
135
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
136
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
137
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
138
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
139
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
140
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
141
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
142
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
143
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
149
* Add bug information to log output when available.
150
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
152
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
153
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
156
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
157
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
158
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
161
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
162
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
164
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
165
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
167
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
168
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
169
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
171
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
172
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
173
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
176
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
177
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
178
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
180
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
181
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
182
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
183
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
184
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
185
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
187
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
188
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
189
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
190
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
191
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
196
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
197
user-specified commit message editor.
198
(Martin Pool, #504842)
200
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
201
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
202
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
204
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
205
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
206
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
208
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
209
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
211
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
212
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
213
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
214
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
215
another process already removed the file.
216
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
218
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
219
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
221
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
222
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
223
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
225
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
226
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
228
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
231
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
234
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
235
(Martin Pool, #320035)
237
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
238
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
239
depended on this behaviour.
240
(Martin Pool, #499757)
242
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
243
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
244
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
245
should appear up-to-date.)
246
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
251
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
252
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
253
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
254
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
256
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
257
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
259
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
260
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
261
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
263
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
264
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
265
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
267
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
270
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
271
Bazaar is doing network IO.
277
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
278
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
280
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
281
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
283
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
284
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
286
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
287
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
289
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
290
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
291
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
293
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
296
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
297
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
303
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
306
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
307
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
308
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
309
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
311
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
312
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
313
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
315
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
316
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
318
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
319
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
320
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
321
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
323
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
329
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
330
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
331
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
333
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
334
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
335
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
336
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
338
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
339
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
344
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
345
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
346
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
347
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
348
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
350
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
351
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
352
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
353
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
354
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
355
suite. (Robert Collins)
357
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
358
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
359
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
361
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
362
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
369
:Codename: smooth sailing
372
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
373
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
374
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
375
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
381
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
382
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
384
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
385
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
386
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
387
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
389
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
390
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
391
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
392
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
393
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
395
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
396
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
397
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
399
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
400
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
401
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
402
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
404
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
405
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
407
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
408
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
409
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
410
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
411
(Martin Pool, #456077)
413
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
414
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
415
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
416
users, rather than something nicer.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
419
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
420
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
422
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
423
build. (there is still the distutils bug
424
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
426
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
427
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
428
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
430
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
431
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
432
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
433
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
434
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
436
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
437
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
438
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
443
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
444
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
445
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
446
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

455
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
456
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
457
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
458
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
459
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
460
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
466
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
467
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
468
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
469
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
470
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
475
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
476
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
478
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
479
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
481
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
482
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
484
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
485
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
486
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
487
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
491
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
492
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
500
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
501
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
502
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
504
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
505
and issues a warning.
506
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
508
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
510
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
511
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
513
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
514
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
515
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
516
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
518
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
520
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
521
(Robert Collins, #84659)
523
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
525
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
526
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
528
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
530
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
531
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
533
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
534
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
535
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
536
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
538
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
539
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
541
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
542
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
544
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
545
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
546
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
548
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
549
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
550
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
551
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
553
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
554
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
555
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
557
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
558
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
559
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
560
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
562
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
563
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
564
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
570
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
572
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
573
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
575
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
576
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
579
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
580
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
583
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
584
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
585
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
586
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
587
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
592
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
598
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
600
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
601
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
602
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
608
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
609
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
610
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
611
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
613
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
614
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
615
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
616
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
619
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
620
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
621
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
622
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
623
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
624
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
629
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
630
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
636
:Codename: little italy
640
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
641
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
647
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
648
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
649
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
651
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
652
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
654
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
655
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
656
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
657
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
659
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
665
:Codename: after sprint recovery
668
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
669
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
670
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
671
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
673
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
674
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
675
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
676
formats for Remote objects.
682
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
683
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
688
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
690
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
691
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
693
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
695
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
696
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
697
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
698
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
699
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
700
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
702
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
703
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
704
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
705
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
707
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
708
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
710
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
711
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
713
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
714
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
715
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
716
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
717
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
718
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
719
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
721
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
722
(Alexander Belchenko)
724
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
725
Python level. (Martin Pool)
730
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
732
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
733
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
734
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
736
(Martin Pool, 493944)
741
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
742
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
743
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
748
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
749
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
751
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
752
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
754
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
755
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
757
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
758
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
760
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
761
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
762
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
763
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
765
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
766
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
768
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
769
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
770
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
771
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
773
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
774
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
775
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
776
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
783
:Codename: a load off my mind
786
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
787
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
789
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
790
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
791
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
792
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
793
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
796
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
797
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
798
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
799
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
800
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
801
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
806
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
807
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
809
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
810
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
811
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
812
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
814
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
815
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
817
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
818
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
819
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
820
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
822
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
823
files. (Aaron Bentley)
825
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
826
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
831
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
832
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
833
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
836
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
837
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
843
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
844
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
849
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
851
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
852
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
858
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
859
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
860
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
861
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
862
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
865
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
866
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
867
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
868
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
869
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
870
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
871
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
872
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
873
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
875
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
876
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
877
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
878
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
879
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
880
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
881
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
883
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
884
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
885
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
886
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
892
:Codename: after the scare
895
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
896
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
902
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
903
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
905
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
908
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
910
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
911
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
912
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
914
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
915
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
917
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
918
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
920
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
921
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
926
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
927
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
932
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
933
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
939
:Codename: While the cat is away
942
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
943
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
944
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
945
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
946
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
947
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
948
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
950
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
951
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
952
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
953
error handling during unlocking.
959
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
962
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
963
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
964
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
965
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
966
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
967
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
969
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
970
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
971
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
973
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
974
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
977
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
978
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
979
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
981
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
982
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
985
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
986
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
992
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
993
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
994
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
995
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
996
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
997
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
998
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1000
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1001
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1002
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1004
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1005
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1006
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1007
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1009
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1010
merges are present in the working tree.
1011
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1013
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1014
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1016
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1017
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1019
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1022
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1023
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1026
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1027
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1029
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1030
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1032
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1033
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1035
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1036
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1037
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1042
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1043
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1044
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1046
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1047
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1048
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1049
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1050
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1051
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1052
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
1053
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1055
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1056
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1057
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1058
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
1059
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
1064
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1066
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1067
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1072
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1073
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1075
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1076
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1078
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1079
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1080
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1082
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1085
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1086
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1087
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1088
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1089
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1093
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1099
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1100
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1103
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1104
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1105
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1106
(John Arbash Meinel)
1108
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1109
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1115
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1116
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1118
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1119
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1121
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1122
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1125
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1129
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1130
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1132
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1133
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1134
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1136
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1137
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1138
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1139
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1140
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1142
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1143
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1145
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1146
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
1152
:Codename: Stability First
1155
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
1156
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
1157
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
1163
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1164
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1165
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1167
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1168
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1169
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1171
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1172
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1173
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1175
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1176
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1178
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1179
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1180
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1181
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1184
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1185
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1187
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1188
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1189
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1190
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1192
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1193
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1194
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1196
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1197
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1198
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1199
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1200
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1201
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1202
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1204
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1205
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1207
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1208
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1209
to download the entire cix file many times.
1210
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1212
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1213
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
1218
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1220
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.

:Codename: Instant Karma
1230
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1231
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1232
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1233
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1234
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1237
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1238
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1240
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1241
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
1242
months or until the following stable release.
1244
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
1245
******************************
1247
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
1248
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
1249
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
1250
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1256
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
1261
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
1262
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
1263
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
1268
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1269
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1270
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1271
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1272
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1273
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1274
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1276
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1277
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1278
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1280
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1281
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1283
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1284
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1285
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1287
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1288
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1290
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
1291
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
1292
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
1293
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
1294
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
1295
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
1296
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
1298
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
1299
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
1300
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
1301
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
1302
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
1303
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
1305
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
1306
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
1307
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1309
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
1310
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
1311
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1313
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
1314
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
1315
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
1317
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1318
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1320
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
1321
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
1322
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
1323
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
1328
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
1329
older smart servers.
1330
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
1332
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1333
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1335
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
1336
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
1337
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
1339
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
1340
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
1341
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
1343
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
1344
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1350
:Codename: no worries
1351
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
1353
Compatibility Breaks
1354
********************
1356
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
1357
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
1358
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
1359
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
1360
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
1362
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
1363
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
1364
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
1365
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
1370
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
1371
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1376
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1377
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1379
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
1380
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
1381
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
1382
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
1383
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
1385
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
1386
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
1387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
1389
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1392
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
1393
(Martin Pool, #286871)
1395
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
1396
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
1397
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
1399
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
1400
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
1401
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
1402
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
1407
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1408
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1409
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1411
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
1412
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
1413
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
1414
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
1416
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
1418
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
1419
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1421
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
1422
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1424
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
1425
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
1426
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
1428
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
1429
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
1430
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
1431
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
1432
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
1433
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
1438
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
1444
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1445
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1446
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1454
:Codename: nein nein nein!
1457
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
1458
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
1459
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
1460
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
1461
pushing to older servers.
1466
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
1467
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
1468
(Martin Pool, #415508)
1470
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
1471
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
1472
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
1477
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
1478
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1480
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
1481
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1486
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1487
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1488
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1490
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
1491
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
1492
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
1494
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
1495
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
1496
should be used. (Robert Collins)
1501
Compatibility Breaks
1502
********************
1504
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
1505
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
1506
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
1507
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
1508
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
1516
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
1517
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
1518
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
1519
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
1520
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
1522
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1523
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1525
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
1526
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
1528
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1529
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1531
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
1532
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
1533
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
1534
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
1536
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
1537
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
1538
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
1540
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
1541
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
1543
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
1544
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
1545
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
1546
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
1551
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1552
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1553
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1555
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
1556
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
1557
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
1558
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
1559
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
1561
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
1562
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
1563
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
1564
(John Arbash Meinel)
1575
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
1576
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
1577
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
1578
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
1579
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
1580
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
1582
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
1583
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
1584
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
1585
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
1587
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
1588
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
1589
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
1590
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
1591
(John Arbash Meinel)
1593
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
1594
protocols. (Robert Collins)
1596
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
1597
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
1598
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
1599
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
1605
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
1606
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
1614
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
1616
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
1617
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
1618
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
1619
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
1620
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
1621
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
1623
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1624
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
1625
or until the following stable release.
1627
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
1632
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
1633
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
1635
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
1636
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
1637
(Martin Pool, #391411)
1642
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
1643
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
1644
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
1646
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
1647
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
1648
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
1649
(Martin Pool, #123688)
1651
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
1652
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
1653
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
1654
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
1656
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
1657
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
1659
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
1660
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
1661
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
1662
(Robert Collins, #282402)
1664
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
1665
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
1667
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
1668
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
1670
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
1671
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
1672
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
1673
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
1674
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
1676
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
1677
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
1678
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
1680
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
1681
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
1682
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
1683
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
1684
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
1686
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
1687
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
1689
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
1690
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
1691
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
1693
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
1694
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
1695
(Martin Pool, #408201)
1697
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
1698
(Martin Pool, #403523)
1700
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
1701
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
1702
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
1704
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
1705
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
1707
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
1708
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
1710
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
1711
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
1713
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
1714
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
1715
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
1717
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
1718
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
1719
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
1721
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1723
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
1724
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
1726
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
1727
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
1728
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
1729
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
1730
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
1731
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
1733
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1734
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1735
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1737
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
1738
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
1739
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
1740
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
1742
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
1743
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
1744
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
1745
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
1746
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
1748
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
1749
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
1750
(Robert Collins, #187207)
1755
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
1758
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
1759
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
1760
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
1761
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
1763
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
1764
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
1765
(John Arbash Meinel)
1770
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1775
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
1776
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
1777
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
1778
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
1779
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
1780
passwords. (Martin Pool)
1782
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
1785
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
1788
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
1792
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
1793
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
1798
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
1799
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
1800
paths. (Robert Collins)
1802
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
1803
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
1805
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
1806
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
1807
disk. (Robert Collins)
1809
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
1810
it. (Robert Collins)
1812
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
1813
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
1814
(Alexander Belchenko)
1820
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
1821
(Martin Pool, #409684)
1823
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
1824
(Martin Pool, #408199)
1826
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
1827
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
1828
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
1829
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
1830
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
1831
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
1834
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
1835
#######################
1840
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1841
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1842
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1847
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
1848
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
1852
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
1853
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
1856
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
1857
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
1858
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
1859
annoying progress bar artifacts.
1862
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
1863
*********************************
1865
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
1866
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
1867
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
1869
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
1870
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
1871
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
1873
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
1874
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
1877
Compatibility Breaks
1878
********************
1880
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
1881
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
1882
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
1883
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
1889
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1890
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
1891
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
1892
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
1894
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
1895
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
1896
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1898
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1899
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
1900
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
1902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
1904
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
1905
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
1906
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
1907
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1913
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
1914
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
1916
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
1917
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
1918
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
1919
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
1921
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
1922
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
1924
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1925
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1926
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1928
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
1929
(Martin Pool, #321935)
1931
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
1932
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
1934
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
1935
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
1937
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
1938
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
1939
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
1941
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
1944
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
1945
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
1947
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
1948
of a remote repository.
1949
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
1951
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
1952
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
1955
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
1957
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
1959
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
1960
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
1962
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
1963
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1965
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1966
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1967
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1969
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1970
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1971
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1972
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1973
(John Arbash Meinel)
1975
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1976
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1977
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1979
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1980
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1981
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1982
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1983
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1984
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1986
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1987
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1988
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1989
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1990
activity display respectively.
1991
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1993
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1994
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1996
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1999
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2000
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2006
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2007
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2008
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2009
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2011
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2012
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2013
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2014
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2017
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2018
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2020
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2021
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2022
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2023
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2024
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2025
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2027
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2028
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2029
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2030
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2032
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2033
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2034
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2035
(John Arbash Meinel)
2038
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2039
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2040
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2041
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2047
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2048
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2049
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2050
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2052
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2053
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2054
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2056
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2059
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2060
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2062
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2063
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2064
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2066
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2067
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2068
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2069
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2071
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2077
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2078
formatting in the user reference.
2079
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2081
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
2087
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2090
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2091
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2092
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

:Released: 2009-06-26
2100
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2101
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2102
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2105
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2106
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2107
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2109
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2110
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2115
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2116
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2118
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2119
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2120
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2122
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2123
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2124
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2125
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2126
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2127
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2128
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2130
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2131
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2132
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2134
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2135
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2136
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2138
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2139
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2140
that. (Robert Collins)
2142
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2143
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2144
repository. (Robert Collins)
2146
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2147
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2148
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2149
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

2159
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
2160
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
2161
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
2162
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
2164
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
2165
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
2166
bug fixes and improvements.
2169
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
2170
*********************************
2172
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
2173
2a can work correctly.
2174
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
2176
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2177
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2178
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2181
Compatibility Breaks
2182
********************
2184
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
2185
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
2186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
2192
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2193
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2194
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2195
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2196
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2197
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2200
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2201
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2202
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2203
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2205
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2206
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2208
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2209
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2211
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2212
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2213
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2215
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2216
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
2222
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2223
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2224
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2226
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2227
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2228
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2229
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2230
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2232
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2233
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2234
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2235
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2237
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2238
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
2244
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
2245
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
2246
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
2247
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2253
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
2254
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
2256
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
2257
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
2259
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2260
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2261
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
2263
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2264
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2266
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2267
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2268
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2270
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2271
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
2272
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
2273
(John Arbash Meinel)
2275
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
2276
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
2278
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
2279
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
2281
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2282
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2284
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2285
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2286
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2287
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2288
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
2289
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
2291
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
2293
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
2294
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
2296
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
2297
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
2299
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
2300
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
2301
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
2302
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
2303
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
2305
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2306
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2307
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2308
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
2313
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
2314
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
2315
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
2320
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
2322
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
2323
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
2324
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2326
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
2327
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
2328
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
2330
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
2331
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2333
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
2334
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
2339
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
2340
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2345
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
2346
(Martin Pool, #386180)
2348
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
2350
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2352
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
2361
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
2362
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
2363
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
2364
revisions introduce the exact same line.

Compatibility Breaks
2386
********************
2388
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
2389
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
2390
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
2391
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
2396
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2397
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2400
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
2401
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
2402
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
2403
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2405
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
2406
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
2407
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
2408
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
2410
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2411
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2414
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
2415
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
2416
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2421
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
2422
server. (Jonathan Lange)
2424
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
2425
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
2427
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
2428
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
2429
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
2431
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
2436
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
2437
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
2439
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
2441
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
2442
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
2444
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
2445
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
2447
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
2448
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
2450
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
2451
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
2452
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
2453
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
2455
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
2456
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
2458
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2459
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2461
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
2462
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
2464
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
2465
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
2467
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
2468
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
2470
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
2471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
2473
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
2474
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2476
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2477
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2478
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2479
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2480
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2481
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2482
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2483
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2484
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2485
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2486
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2487
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2488
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2489
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
2491
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
2492
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
2493
(Robert Collins, #368921)
2495
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
2496
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
2504
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
2505
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
2506
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
2508
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
2509
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
2510
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
2511
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
2512
(Alexander Belchenko)
2517
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
2518
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
2519
encoding. (Robert Collins)
2521
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
2522
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
2525
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
2526
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
2527
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
2528
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
2529
configuration. (Robert Collins)
2531
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
2532
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
2533
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
2535
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
2536
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
2537
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
2538
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
2540
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
2541
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
2542
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
2544
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
2545
backwards. (Robert Collins)
2547
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
2548
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
2549
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2550
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
2552
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
2553
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
2554
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2556
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
2557
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
2559
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
2560
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
2561
branches. (Robert Collins)
2563
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
2564
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2566
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
2571
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
2572
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
2623
********************
2625
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
2626
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
2627
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
2628
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
2629
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2631
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
2632
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
2633
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
2635
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
2636
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
2637
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
2638
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
2639
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2644
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
2645
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
2646
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
2647
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
2648
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
2651
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
2654
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
2655
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2657
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
2658
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
2659
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
2660
directory, not just the directory object itself.
2661
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
2663
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
2664
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
2666
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
2669
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
2670
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
2671
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
2672
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
2675
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
2676
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
2677
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
2678
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
2679
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2681
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
2682
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
2685
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
2691
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
2692
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
2693
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
2695
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
2696
the data when the target repository does not need topological
2697
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
2698
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
2699
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2701
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
2702
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
2705
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
2706
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
2707
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
2709
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
2712
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
2715
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
2716
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2718
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2719
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2721
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
2722
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
2724
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
2725
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
2728
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
2729
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
2730
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2732
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
2733
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
2734
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
2737
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
2738
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
2739
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
2740
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
2742
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
2743
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
2744
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
2745
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
2746
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
2747
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
2748
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
2749
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
2750
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2752
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
2758
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2759
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2760
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2761
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2762
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2763
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2764
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2766
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2767
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2769
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
2770
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
2771
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
2772
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
2774
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
2775
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
2777
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
2779
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2782
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2783
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2784
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2786
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2787
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2789
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
2790
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
2792
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
2793
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
2794
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
2796
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
2797
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
2798
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
2799
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2801
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2803
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
2804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
2806
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
2807
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
2808
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
2809
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
2810
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
2812
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2813
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2814
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2815
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2816
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2817
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2818
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2820
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
2821
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
2823
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
2824
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
2827
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
2828
(James Westby, #341558)
2830
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
2831
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
2833
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
2834
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
2839
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
2841

* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
2852
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
2853
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
2856
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
2857
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
2860
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
2861
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
2862
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
2864
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
2865
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
2866
Meinel, Robert Collins)
2868
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
2869
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
2870
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
2871
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
2874
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
2875
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
2878
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
2881
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
2882
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2884
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2885
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2886
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2887
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2889
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
2890
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
2891
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
2896
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
2897
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
2898
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
2899
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
2900
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2902
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
2903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
2905
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
2906
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
2907
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
2908
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
2914
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
2915
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2917
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
2918
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2920
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
2921
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
2922
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2924
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
2925
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
2926
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
2927
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2929
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
2930
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
2931
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
2932
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2934
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
2935
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
2936
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2938
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
2939
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
2940
dependency. (Robert Collins)
2942
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
2943
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
2944
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2946
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
2947
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
2950
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
2951
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
2952
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
2954
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
2955
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2957
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
2958
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
2959
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2961
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
2962
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
2965
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
2966
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2967
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2969
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2970
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2971
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2972
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2973
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2975
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2976
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2977
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2978
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2980
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2981
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2982
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2983
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2985
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2986
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2987
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2989
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2990
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2993
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2994
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2995
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2997
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2998
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2999
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3000
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3001
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3003
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3004
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3005
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3008
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3009
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3010
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3011
desired. (Robert Collins)
3013
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3014
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3015
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3016
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3018
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3019
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3020
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
3032
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
3033
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
3034
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
3036
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3037
*****************************
3039
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3040
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3041
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3042
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3043
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3044
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3050
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
3051
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
3052
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3054
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
3055
********************************
3057
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
3058
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
3059
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
3064
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
3065
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
3067
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
3068
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3070
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3071
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3073
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3075
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3076
*********************************
3078
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3079
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3080
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3082
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3083
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3085
Compatibility Breaks
3086
********************
3088
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3089
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3090
command may need to be adjusted.
3091
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3096
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3097
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3098
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3100
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3103
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3104
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3105
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3108
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3109
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3111
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3112
(John Arbash Meinel)
3114
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3115
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3117
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3119
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3120
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3123
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3129
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3130
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3131
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3132
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3133
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3134
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3135
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3136
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3139
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3140
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3142
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3143
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3144
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3146
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3147
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3149
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3150
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3151
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3154
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3155
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3156
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3158
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3159
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3160
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3161
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3163
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3166
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3167
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3169
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3170
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3172
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3173
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3174
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3176
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3181
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3182
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3184
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3185
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3186
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3188
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3189
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3192
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3193
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3195
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3196
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3199
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3200
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3201
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3203
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3204
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3206
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3207
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3209
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3210
(James Westby, #174539)
3212
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3213
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3215
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3216
error branching from old repositories.
3217
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3219
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3220
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3222
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3223
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3224
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3225
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3227
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3228
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3231
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3232
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3234
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3235
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3237
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3238
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3239
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3241
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3242
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
3244
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
3245
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
3250
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3251
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3252
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3255
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3256
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3258
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
3259
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
3264
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3265
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3266
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3267
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3268
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3270
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3271
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3273
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3274
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3275
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3276
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3277
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3278
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3280
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3281
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3283
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3284
"author" argument being deprecated.
3286
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3288
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
3289
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
3290
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
3291
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
3293
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
3294
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
3295
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
3297
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
3298
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
3299
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
3301
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
3302
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
3304
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
3305
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
3306
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
3307
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
3312
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
3313
free of virtual file system methods.
3314
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3316
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
3317
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
3318
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
3320
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
3321
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
3322
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
3323
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
3324
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
3325
(Robert Collins, #334187)
3327
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
3329
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
3330
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
3332
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
3333
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
3334
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
3335
stream the operation.
3336
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3338
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
3339
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
3341
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
3342
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
3343
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
3344
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
3345
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3347
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
3348
branch object. (Robert Collins)
3350
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
3351
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
3352
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
3354
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
3355
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
3358
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
3361
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
3362
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
3363
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3365
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
3366
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
3367
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3369
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
3370
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
3371
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3373
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
3374
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
3375
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3377
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
3378
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
3379
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
3380
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
3381
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
3383
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
3384
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
3385
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
3386
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
3387
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
3388
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
3390
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
3391
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
3392
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
3393
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
3394
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3396
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
3397
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3399
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
3400
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
3402
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
3403
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
3404
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
3405
to access private data in record to obtain content more
3406
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3408
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
3409
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
3420
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
3421
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
3422
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
3423
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
3424
by showing the rate of network IO.
3426
Changes from RC1 to Final
3427
*************************
3429
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
3430
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
3432
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
3433
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3435
Compatibility Breaks
3436
********************
3438
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
3439
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
3440
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
3441
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
3443
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
3444
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
3445
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
3448
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
3449
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
3450
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
3451
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3453
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
3454
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
3455
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
3458
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3463
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3464
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3465
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3468
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3469
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3470
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3472
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3473
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3474
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3475
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3476
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3477
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3478
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3479
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3480
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3486
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3489
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3492
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3493
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3494
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3496
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3497
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3498
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3499
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3500
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3502
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3503
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3505
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3506
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3507
level for better precision.
3510
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3511
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3513
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3514
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3515
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
3517
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
3518
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
3519
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
3522
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
3523
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
3524
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
3529
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
3531
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
3533
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
3534
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
3535
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
3537
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
3538
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
3539
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
3540
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
3541
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
3542
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
3544
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
3545
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
3547
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
3548
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
3550
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
3551
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3552
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3554
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
3555
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
3556
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
3559
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
3560
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
3562
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
3563
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
3564
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
3565
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
3567
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
3568
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
3570
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3572
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
3577
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3582
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
3583
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
3586
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
3587
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3589
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
3590
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3592
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
3593
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3595
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
3596
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
3597
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
3598
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
3600
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
3601
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
3602
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
3607
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
3608
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
3609
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
3610
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
3611
compile buffers, are such an example).
3614
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
3615
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
3618
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
3619
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
3620
efficient way of doing the mapping.
3623
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
3624
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
3626
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
3627
formatters to retrict the output.
3634
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3635
:Released: 2009-01-19
3637
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
3638
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
3639
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
3640
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
3641
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
3643
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
3644
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
3647
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
3648
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
3653
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
3656
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
3657
(John Arbash Meinel)
3664
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3665
:Released: 2009-01-09
3670
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
3671
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3676
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
3677
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
3679
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
3680
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
3681
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
3682
implement other plugins.
3685
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
3691
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
3692
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
3694
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
3695
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
3697
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
3698
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
3699
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
3700
processes which drag in shell extensions.
3703
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
3704
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
3705
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
3706
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
3707
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
3709
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
3710
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
3711
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
3712
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
3713
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
3718
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
3719
control directory. (#139691)
3721
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
3722
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
3724
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
3725
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
3727
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
3728
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
3729
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
3731
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
3732
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
3734
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
3735
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3736
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3738
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
3739
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
3741
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
3744
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
3745
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
3746
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
3748
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
3749
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
3751
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
3752
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
3753
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
3755
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
3756
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
3757
in the appropriate sections.
3758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
3760
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
3761
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
3762
(John Arbash meinel)
3764
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
3765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
3767
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
3768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
3770
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
3771
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3773
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
3774
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
3775
work better with how it splits its requests.
3776
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
3778
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3779
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3780
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3782
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
3785
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
3787
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
3788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
3790
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
3796
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
3797
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
3798
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
3804
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
3805
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
3806
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
3807
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3809
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
3810
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
3812
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
3813
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
3814
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
3815
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
3817
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
3818
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
3819
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
3820
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3825
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
3826
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
3827
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
3829
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
3830
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
3831
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
3832
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
3834
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
3835
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
3836
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
3842
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
3843
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
3844
(John Arbash Meinel)
3846
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
3847
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
3848
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
3849
(John Arbash Meinel)
3851
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
3852
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
3853
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
3854
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
3856
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
3857
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
3858
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
3860
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
3861
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
3862
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
3863
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
3865
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
3866
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
3867
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
3868
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
3869
(John Arbash Meinel)
23
* Faster working tree operations.
27
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
28
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
29
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
30
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
32
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
33
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
35
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
38
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
39
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
40
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
42
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
43
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
45
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
46
line options must come before the command name because they
47
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
48
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
51
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
56
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
63
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
64
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
66
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
67
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
68
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
69
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
71
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
72
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
73
with the ``--forward`` option.
75
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
76
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
82
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
83
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
85
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
87
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
88
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
90
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
92
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
93
either read or write mode.
95
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
97
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
100
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
102
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
103
suggested by LarstiQ.
105
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
106
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
108
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
111
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
112
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
114
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
115
haven't changed since the previous time.
117
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
118
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
120
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
122
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
124
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
125
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
127
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
128
options through to an external GNU diff.
130
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
133
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
139
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
140
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
142
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
148
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
149
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
152
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
153
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
155
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
156
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
158
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
159
under a different version.
161
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
166
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
168
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
171
* Better help messages for many commands.
173
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
174
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
176
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
177
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
179
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
181
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
183
* New AtomicFile class.
185
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
190
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
191
2.4 is now only recommended.
198
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
199
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
201
* More default ignore patterns.
203
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
204
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
206
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
208
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
211
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
216
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
217
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
218
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
219
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
220
there are DNS problems.
222
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
227
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
229
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
231
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
232
trailing newlines properly.
237
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
240
* More tests in test.sh.
242
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
243
directory and delete it when done.
245
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
250
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
253
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
261
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
264
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
266
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
269
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
272
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
274
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
278
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
279
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
284
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
285
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
290
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
294
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3871
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
3872
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
3874
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
3875
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
3876
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
3878
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
3879
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
3880
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
3881
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
3883
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
3884
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3885
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3886
(John Arbash Meinel)
3888
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
3889
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
3890
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
3891
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
3892
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
3893
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
3894
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3896
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
3897
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

3906
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
3907
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
3908
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
3909
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
3912
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
3917
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
3918
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
3919
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
3920
(Martin Pool, #303856)
3922
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
3923
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
3924
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
3925
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
3926
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
3932
:Released: 2008-11-28
3934
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
3935
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
3936
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
3937
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
3938
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
3943
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
3944
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3946
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
3952
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
3953
history just to set the last revision info.
3954
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3956
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
3957
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
3958
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
3959
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3961
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
3962
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
3963
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
3964
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
3965
(John Arbash Meinel)
3967
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3968
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3970
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3971
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3972
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3973
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3974
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3976
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3977
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3978
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3979
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3984
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3985
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3987
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3988
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3990
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3991
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3992
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3993
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3995
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3996
starting with a dotted revno.
3997
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3999
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4000
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4001
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4003
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4004
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4005
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4007
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4008
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4009
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4011
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4012
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4013
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4014
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4016
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4017
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4018
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4020
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4021
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4026
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4027
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4028
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4029
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4031
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4032
have changed incompatibly.
4034
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4035
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4036
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4037
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4038
don't need to change.
4040
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
4041
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
4046
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
4047
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
4049
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
4055
:Released: 2008-11-07
4057
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4058
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4059
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4060
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4061
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4062
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4067
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4068
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4070
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4072
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
4073
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
4074
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
4080
:Released: 2008-10-31
4085
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4086
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4088
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4089
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4090
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4091
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4096
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4097
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4098
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4099
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4100
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4101
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4103
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4104
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4106
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4107
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4108
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4110
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4111
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4112
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4115
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4116
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4118
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4119
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4121
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4122
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4124
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4125
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4126
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4127
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4128
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4129
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4130
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4131
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4132
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4133
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4138
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4139
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4141
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4142
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4144
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4145
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4146
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4148
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4149
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4150
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4152
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4153
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4154
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4156
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4157
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4158
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4159
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4160
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4161
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4163
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4164
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4166
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4167
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4169
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4170
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4171
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4172
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4173
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4175
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4176
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4177
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4178
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4183
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
4188
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
4193
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
4194
configuration of authetication credentials.
4200
:Released: 2008-10-16
4202
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4203
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4204
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
4205
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
4206
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
4211
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
4212
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
4217
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
4218
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
4224
:Released: 2008-10-07
4229
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4230
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4231
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4232
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4233
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4235
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4236
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4238
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4239
server. (Marius Kruger)
4241
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4242
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4243
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4244
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4245
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4246
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
4251
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
4252
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
4253
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
4255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
4260
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4261
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4262
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4263
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4265
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4266
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4269
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4270
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4273
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
4276
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
4278
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4279
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4281
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4282
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4284
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4285
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4286
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4287
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4288
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
4289
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
4290
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
4291
operations. (Robert Collins)
4293
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
4295
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
4296
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
4297
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
4302
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
4303
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
4304
(Martin Pool, #279381)
4306
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4307
repository now preserves the repository format.
4308
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4310
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
4311
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
4313
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
4314
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
4316
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
4318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
4320
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4323
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
4324
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
4325
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
4327
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
4328
is in a different repository than the current one.
4329
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
4331
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
4332
(David Futcher, #242106)
4334
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
4335
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4337
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
4338
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
4339
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
4340
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
4342
* Trivial documentation fix.
4343
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
4345
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4346
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4347
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4348
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4353
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
4358
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
4359
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
4360
to use. (Robert Collins)
4362
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
4363
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
4364
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
4366
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
4367
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
4368
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
4369
they want. (Robert Collins)
4374
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
4375
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
4376
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
4378
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
4379
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
4382
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
4385
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
4386
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
4388
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
4394
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
4395
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
4397
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
4398
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
4399
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
4401
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
4402
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
4403
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
4405
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
4406
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4408
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
4409
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
4411
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
4412
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
4414
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
4415
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
4416
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
4417
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

4427
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
4433
:Released: 2008-09-24
4435
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
4436
file paths when we encounter complex history.
4441
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
4442
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
4443
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
4444
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
4445
(John Arbash Meinel)
4451
:Released: 2008-09-23
4453
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
4454
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
4455
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
4456
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
4457
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
4458
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
4463
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
4464
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
4465
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
4471
:Released: 2008-09-17
4473
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
4474
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
4475
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
4476
connect to the stacked-on location.
4481
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4482
repository now preserves the repository format.
4483
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4485
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
4486
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
4488
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
4491
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4498
:Released: 2008-09-09
4500
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
4501
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
4502
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
4503
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
4504
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
4505
it in a future repository format.
4511
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
4514
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
4515
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
4516
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
4518
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
4519
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
4520
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
4525
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
4526
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
4528
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4533
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
4534
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
4537
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
4538
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
4540
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
4541
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
4544
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
4545
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
4546
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
4547
(John Arbash Meinel)
4549
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
4550
(Martin Pool, #261315)
4552
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
4553
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
4554
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
4555
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
4556
(John Arbash Meinel)
4558
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
4559
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
4560
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
4561
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
4562
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
4563
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
4564
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
4565
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
4566
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
4567
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4572
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
4573
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
4575
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
4576
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
4577
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
4579
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
4580
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
4581
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
4583
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
4584
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
4585
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
4586
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
4587
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
4588
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
4590
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
4591
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
4593
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
4594
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
4596
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
4597
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
4598
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
4599
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
4600
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
4601
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
4603
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
4604
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
4606
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
4607
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
4609
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
4610
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
4611
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
4612
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
4614
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
4615
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
4617
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
4618
assuming the host name is ascii.
4619
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
4621
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
4622
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
4627
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4632
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
4634
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
4635
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
4636
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
4639
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
4640
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4642
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
4643
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4645
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
4646
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4651
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
4652
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
4653
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
4654
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
4656
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
4660
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
4661
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
4662
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4664
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
4670
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
4671
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
4674
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
4675
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
4676
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
4677
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
4678
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4680
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
4681
is unknown in both source and target.
4682
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
4684
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
4685
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
4686
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
4687
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4689
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
4690
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
4691
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
4692
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

4700
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
4701
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
4702
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
4708
:Released: 2008-09-03
4713
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
4714
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
4715
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
4716
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
4722
:Released: 2008-08-29
4724
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
4725
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
4726
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
4727
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
4728
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
4729
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
4730
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
4731
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
4732
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
4733
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
4734
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
4735
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
4740
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
4741
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
4742
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
4743
start of the string (causing more copies).
4744
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
4745
especially for projects with large files.
4746
(John Arbash Meinel)
4748
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
4749
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
4750
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
4751
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
4752
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
4754
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
4755
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
4756
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
4757
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
4758
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
4767
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
4768
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
4769
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
4770
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
4771
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
4772
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
4773
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
4774
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
4775
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
4781
:Released: 2008-08-19
4786
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
4787
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
4788
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
4789
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
4790
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
4796
:Released: 2008-08-18
4801
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
4802
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
4803
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
4809
:Released: 2008-08-14
4814
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
4815
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
4821
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
4822
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
4823
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
4829
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
4830
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
4831
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
4833
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
4834
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
4835
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
4836
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
4837
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
4838
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
4839
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
4845
:Released: 2008-08-13
4847
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
4853
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
4854
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
4856
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
4857
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
4860
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
4861
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
4862
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
4863
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
4864
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
4866
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
4867
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4869
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
4870
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
4872
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
4873
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
4875
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
4876
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
4877
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
4878
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
4879
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
4880
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
4886
:Released: 2008-08-06
4888
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
4889
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
4890
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
4891
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
4892
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
4897
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
4898
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
4899
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
4904
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
4905
check. (Daniel Watkins)
4907
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
4908
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
4910
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
4911
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
4912
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4914
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
4917
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
4918
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
4919
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
4920
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
4921
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
4922
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
4923
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4925
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
4926
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
4927
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
4932
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
4933
physical repository boundaries.
4934
(Martin Pool, #252428)
4936
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
4937
(Martin Pool, #206258)
4939
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
4940
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
4943
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
4946
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
4947
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
4948
that Python is running from.
4949
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
4951
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
4952
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
4953
(Robert Collins, #150438)
4955
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
4956
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
4958
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
4959
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
4960
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
4962
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
4963
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
4965
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
4966
(James Westby, #248448)
4971
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4972
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4973
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4976
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4977
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4980
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4981
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4982
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4983
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4984
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4985
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4988
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4989
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4991
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4992
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4993
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4994
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4995
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4996
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5001
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5002
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5003
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5004
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5005
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5006
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5008
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5009
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5010
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5012
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5015
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5016
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5018
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
5025
:Released: 2008-07-17
5027
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5028
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5029
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5030
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5036
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5037
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5038
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5040
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5041
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5042
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5043
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5044
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5047
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5049
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5050
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5051
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5057
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5058
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5061
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5062
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5063
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5064
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5066
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5067
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5068
(Christophe Troestler)
5070
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5071
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5073
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5074
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5075
faster. The new request method name is
5076
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5081
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5082
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5083
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5084
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5085
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5087
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5088
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5090
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5091
requires a branch to be present.
5092
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5094
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5096
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5098
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5099
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5100
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5101
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5103
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5104
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5106
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5108
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5110
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5111
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5112
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5113
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5114
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5116
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5117
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5119
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5120
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5122
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5124
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5126
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5127
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5129
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
5130
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
5135
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
5138
* Updated developer documentation.
5144
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5145
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5147
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5148
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5149
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5150
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5155
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5156
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5157
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5158
Repository docstring for more details.
5161
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5162
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5163
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5165
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5166
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5169
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5170
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5171
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5172
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
5177
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5178
(Alexander Belchenko)
5180
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5181
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5182
containing a given location.
5185
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5186
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5187
storage. (Robert Collins)
5189
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5192
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
5193
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
5200
:Released: 2008-06-10
5202
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
5203
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
5204
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
5210
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5211
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5212
reading from the repository.)
5213
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5215
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5216
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5218
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5219
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5222
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5223
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5224
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
5226
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
5227
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
5228
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
5230
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
5231
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
5233
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
5234
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
5235
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
5236
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
5241
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
5243
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
5244
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
5245
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
5248
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
5249
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
5254
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5259
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5260
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5265
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5266
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5267
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5268
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5269
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5271
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
5272
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
5277
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
5278
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
5280
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
5281
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
5286
:Released: 2008-06-02
5288
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
5289
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
5290
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
5291
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
5292
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
5293
and future extensions.
5296
Notes When Upgrading
5297
********************
5299
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
5300
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
5301
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
5302
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
5303
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
5304
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
5305
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
5306
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
5311
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
5312
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
5313
(John Arbash Meinel)
5318
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
5319
load. (James Westby)
5324
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
5325
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
5326
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
5327
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5329
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
5330
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
5331
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
5333
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
5334
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
5336
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
5337
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
5338
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
5340
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
5341
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
5342
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
5343
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
5344
step closer to not using full revision history.
5345
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
5350
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
5351
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
5353
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5354
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5356
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
5357
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
5359
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
5360
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
5361
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
5362
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
5364
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
5365
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
5366
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
5367
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
5369
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
5370
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
5371
in use by another process.
5374
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
5375
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
5376
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
5377
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
5379
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
5380
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
5382
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
5383
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
5384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
5386
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
5387
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
5388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
5390
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
5392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
5394
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
5395
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
5397
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
5398
under vim on Mac OS X.
5399
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5401
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
5402
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
5407
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
5408
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
5410
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5411
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5414
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
5415
and about use of Python reprs.
5416
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
5418
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
5423
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
5426
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5427
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5429
* New helper function for splitting test suites
5430
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
5435
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
5436
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
5437
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
5438
(John Arbash Meinel)
5443
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
5444
instead. (Martin Pool)
5446
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
5447
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
5448
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
5449
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
5451
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
5452
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
5453
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
5454
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
5455
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
5457
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
5458
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
5459
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
5460
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
5461
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
5462
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
5464
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
5465
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
5468
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
5469
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
5472
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
5473
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
5474
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
5475
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
5477
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
5478
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
5479
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5481
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
5482
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
5483
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
5484
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
5485
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
5488
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
5489
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
5490
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
5491
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
5494
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5495
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5496
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5497
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5498
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5500
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
5507
:Released: 2008-05-16
5509
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
5510
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
5511
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
5516
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
5517
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
5518
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5523
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5524
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5531
:Released: 2008-05-09
5536
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
5537
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
5538
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
5539
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
5544
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
5545
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
5547
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
5548
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
5550
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
5556
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
5557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
5559
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
5560
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
5562
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
5563
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
5564
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
5566
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5567
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5568
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5570
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
5573
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
5574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
5576
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
5577
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
5579
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
5580
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
5582
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
5583
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
5585
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
5586
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
5587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
5589
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
5590
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
5592
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5593
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
5595
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5596
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5597
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5598
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
5600
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
5601
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
5604
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
5605
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
5606
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
5608
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5609
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5610
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5611
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
5612
every revision each side had in common.
5613
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5615
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
5616
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5618
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
5619
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
5620
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
5621
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
5626
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
5627
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
5628
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
5629
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
5631
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
5633
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
5635
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
5636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
5641
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
5642
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
5643
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
5645
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
5646
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
5647
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
5648
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5650
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
5651
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5653
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
5654
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
5655
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
5656
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5658
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
5659
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
5660
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
5661
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5666
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
5667
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
5668
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
5670
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
5672
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
5673
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
5675
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5676
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5678
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
5679
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
5684
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
5685
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
5686
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
5688
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
5689
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
5690
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
5693
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
5694
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
5697
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
5706
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
5707
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
5708
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
5709
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
5710
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
5711
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
5712
and faster performance.
5717
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5718
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5719
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5720
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
5726
:Released: 2008-04-21
5731
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5732
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5733
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5735
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
5736
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5738
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5739
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
5741
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5742
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5743
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5744
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
5745
every revision each side had in common.
5746
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5752
:Released: 2008-04-11
5757
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
5759
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
5760
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
5762
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
5763
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
5764
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5766
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
5767
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
5768
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
5769
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
5770
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
5771
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
5774
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
5775
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
5776
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
5777
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
5782
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
5784
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
5785
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
5786
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
5788
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
5789
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
5790
See the User Reference for signature details.
5791
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
5793
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
5794
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
5799
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
5800
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
5801
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
5802
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5804
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
5805
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
5807
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
5808
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
5809
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
5812
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
5815
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
5816
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
5817
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
5819
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
5822
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
5823
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
5825
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
5826
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
5828
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
5829
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
5830
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
5832
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
5833
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
5834
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
5835
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
5836
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
5838
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
5839
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
5841
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
5842
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5847
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
5848
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
5849
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
5850
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
5851
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
5852
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
5854
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
5855
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
5857
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
5858
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
5859
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
5861
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
5862
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
5864
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
5865
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
5866
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
5867
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5869
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
5870
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
5871
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
5872
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
5873
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
5875
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
5877
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
5878
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
5880
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
5882
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
5883
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
5885
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
5886
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
5891
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
5893
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
5895
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5897
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
5902
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
5903
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
5904
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
5906
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
5907
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
5908
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
5909
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
5911
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
5912
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
5913
release. (James Westby)
5915
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
5918
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
5920
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
5921
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5923
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
5924
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5926
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
5927
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
5929
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
5930
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
5931
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
5933
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
5934
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
5935
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
5936
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
5938
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
5939
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
5940
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
5941
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
5943
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
5944
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
5945
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
5946
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
5947
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
5948
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
5950
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
5951
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
5952
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
5954
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
5955
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5957
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
5958
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
5961
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
5962
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
5964
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
5965
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
5967
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
5968
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
5970
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5971
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
5972
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
5974
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
5975
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
5976
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
5977
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
5978
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
5979
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
5984
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
5985
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
5986
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
5987
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
5989
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
5990
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
5991
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
5992
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
5996
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
5997
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6000
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6001
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
6003
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
6005
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6006
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
6007
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
6012
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6014
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
6017
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6018
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6019
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6020
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6021
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6022
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6024
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6025
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6027
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6028
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6029
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6030
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6032
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6033
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6035
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
6036
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6086
********************
6088
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
6089
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
6094
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6095
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6096
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6097
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6100
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6101
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6102
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6103
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6104
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6105
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6107
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6108
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6109
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
6110
(Alexander Belchenko)
6112
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6114
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
6115
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
6120
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
6121
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
6123
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
6124
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
6130
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6132
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6134
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6135
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6136
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6138
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6139
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6141
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6142
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6144
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6145
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6146
(Alexander Belchenko)
6148
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6149
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6150
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6151
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6153
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6156
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6157
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6158
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6159
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6160
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6165
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
6166
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
6167
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6168
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
6170
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
6171
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
6173
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.

* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
6193
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
6194
symlinks (James Henstridge)
6196
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
6197
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
6199
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
6200
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
6202
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
6203
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
6205
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
6206
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
6208
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
6209
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
6214
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
6215
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6220
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
6221
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
6222
(Alexander Belchenko)
6227
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
6229
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
6230
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
6236
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
6237
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
6238
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
6240
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
6241
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
6242
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
6243
(Alexander Belchenko)
6245
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
6246
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
6247
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
6248
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
6250
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
6251
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
6252
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
6255
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
6256
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
6257
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
6259
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
6260
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
6261
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
6263
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
6264
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
6265
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
6266
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6286
********************
6288
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
6289
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
6290
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
6291
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
6292
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
6298
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
6299
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
6301
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
6302
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
6303
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
6305
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
6306
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
6307
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
6308
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
6309
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
6310
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
6316
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
6317
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6319
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
6320
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
6321
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
6324
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
6325
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
6326
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
6327
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
6328
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
6330
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
6331
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
6332
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
6333
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
6334
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
6335
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
6336
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
6337
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
6342
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
6343
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
6345
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
6346
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6348
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
6349
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6351
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
6352
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
6353
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
6355
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
6356
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
6357
(John Arbash Meinel)
6362
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
6363
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
6365
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
6366
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
6368
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
6369
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
6371
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
6372
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
6373
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
6375
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
6376
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
6377
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
6379
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
6380
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
6382
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
6383
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
6384
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
6385
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
6386
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
6388
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6390
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
6391
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
6394
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
6395
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
6397
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
6398
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
6400
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
6401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
6403
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
6404
more characters which should be considered valid.
6405
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
6407
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
6408
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
6410
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
6411
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
6416
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
6417
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
6419
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
6420
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
6426
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
6427
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
6433
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
6434
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
6435
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
6437
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
6438
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
6439
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
6441
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
6442
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
6443
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
6444
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
6446
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
6448
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
6449
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
6450
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
6451
server. (Robert Collins)
6453
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
6454
operate. (Robert Collins)
6456
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
6457
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
6458
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
6460
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
6461
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
6462
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
6463
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
6465
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
6466
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
6468
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
6469
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
6470
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
6472
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
6473
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
6475
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
6476
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
6478
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6479
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
6480
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
6481
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

6494
:Released: 2008-01-05
6499
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6500
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6501
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
6502
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6504
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
6505
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
6506
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
6507
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
6512
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
6515
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
6518
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
6519
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
6524
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
6527
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
6528
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
6529
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
6531
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
6533
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
6534
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
6535
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
6536
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
6537
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
6539
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
6540
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
6541
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
6543
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
6544
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
6546
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
6549
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
6551
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
6553
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
6556
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
6557
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
6562
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
6563
(Martin Pool, #180208)
6565
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
6566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
6568
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
6571
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
6572
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
6574
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
6575
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
6577
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
6578
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6580
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
6581
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
6583
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
6584
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
6585
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
6587
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
6588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
6590
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
6591
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
6594
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
6596
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
6597
user:pass embedded in the urls.
6598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
6600
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
6601
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
6603
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
6606
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
6609
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
6610
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
6612
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
6615
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
6616
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
6619
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
6620
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
6621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
6626
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
6629
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
6630
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
6631
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
6632
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
6633
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
6634
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
6636
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
6641
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
6644
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
6645
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
6647
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
6649
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
6650
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
6651
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
6654
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
6655
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6657
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
6666
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
6667
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
6668
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
6670
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
6671
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
6674
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
6675
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
6677
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
6678
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6680
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
6681
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6683
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
6684
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
6685
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6687
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
6688
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
6690
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
6691
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6693
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
6694
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
6697
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
6698
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
6700
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
6701
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

6734
by mail to the mailing list.
6740
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
6742
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
6743
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
6744
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
6745
feedback but also incur more latency.
6746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
6748
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
6749
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
6754
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6756
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
6762
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
6763
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
6764
wraps its output in a StringIO.

* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
6781
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
6784
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
6785
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
6786
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
6787
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6789
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
6792
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
6793
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
6795
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
6796
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
6797
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
6799
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
6800
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
6801
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
6802
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
6803
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
6804
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
6805
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
6806
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
6807
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
6812
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

6828
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

Notes When Upgrading
6851
********************
6853
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
6854
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
6855
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
6856
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
6858
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
6859
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
6861
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
6862
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
6864
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
6865
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
6866
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
6867
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
6868
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
6869
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
6870
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
6871
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
6872
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
6873
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
6874
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
6875
from any tree without problems.
6876
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
6881
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
6882
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
6883
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
6885
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
6886
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
6892
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
6893
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
6894
supported transports.
6897
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
6898
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
6899
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
6901
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
6902
(Robert Collins, #154173)
6904
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
6905
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
6906
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
6907
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
6909
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
6910
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
6915
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
6916
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
6917
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
6918
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6920
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
6921
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
6922
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
6923
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
6925
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
6926
(Robert Collins, #88319)
6928
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
6929
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
6931
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
6932
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
6934
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
6935
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
6941
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
6944
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
6945
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
6948
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
6949
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
6950
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
6951
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
6953
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
6954
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
6955
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
6956
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
6964
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
6965
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6967
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6968
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6970
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6971
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6973
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6974
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6976
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6977
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6979
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6980
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6982
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6983
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6985
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6988
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6989
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6991
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6992
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6993
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6995
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6996
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
6998
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6999
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7001
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7002
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7004
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7007
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7008
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7009
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7010
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7012
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7014
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7015
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7018
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7019
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7021
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7023
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7025
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7026
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7028
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7029
specify a port in urls.
7030
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7032
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7033
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7035
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7036
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7038
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7039
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
7041
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
7042
(Robert Collins, #153789)
7044
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
7045
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
7046
(Robert Collins, #165304).
7048
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
7050
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
7051
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
7053
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
7056
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
7057
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
7059
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
7060
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
7062
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
7063
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
7064
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7066
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7067
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7069
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7070
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7071
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7072
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7074
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7075
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7077
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7078
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7079
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7081
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7082
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7084
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
7085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
7087
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
7088
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
7093
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7094
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7096
* The return value of
7097
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7098
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7099
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7100
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7102
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7105
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7106
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7113
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
7114
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7115
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7118
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7119
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
7121
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
7127
:Released: 2007-11-05
7132
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
7138
:Released: 2007-10-29
7143
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7144
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7146
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7147
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7148
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7149
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7150
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7151
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7152
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7153
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7154
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7155
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7156
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7157
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
7163
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7164
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7165
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7166
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7167
commands. (Robert Collins)
7169
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7170
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7171
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7174
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7176
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7177
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7179
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7180
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7183
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7184
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7185
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7190
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7191
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7193
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7194
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7196
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7197
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7198
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7199
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7201
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7204
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7205
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7206
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7207
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7209
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7210
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7212
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7213
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7215
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7216
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7218
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7219
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
7224
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
7225
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
7227
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
7228
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
7230
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
7231
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
7233
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
7234
(Martin Pool, #63894)
7236
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
7237
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
7242
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
7244
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
7250
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
7251
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
7252
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
7254
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
7255
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
7257
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
7258
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
7260
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7261
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7262
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7263
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7265
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7266
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7267
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7268
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7269
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7271
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
7272
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
7274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
7276
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7278
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
7279
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
7281
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
7282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
7284
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
7285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
7287
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
7288
contains a symbolic link.
7289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
7291
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
7292
(James Westby, #140615)
7294
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
7295
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
7296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
7298
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
7299
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
7300
(Martin Pool, #144633)
7302
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7304
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
7305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
7307
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
7309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
7311
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
7312
directory to detect leaking tests.
7313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
7315
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
7316
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
7317
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
7319
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
7322
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
7323
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
7325
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
7331
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
7332
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
7334
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
7335
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
7336
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
7338
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
7339
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
7340
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
7342
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
7343
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
7345
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
7346
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
7348
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
7349
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
7352
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
7353
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
7355
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
7356
class that needs it.
7359
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
7360
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
7362
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
7363
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
7364
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
7366
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
7367
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
7368
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
7371
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
7372
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
7373
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
7374
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
7380
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
7381
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
7382
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
7384
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
7385
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
7386
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
7387
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
7389
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
7390
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
7393
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
7394
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
7395
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
7397
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
7398
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
7399
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
7401
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
7402
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
7404
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
7405
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
7406
to complete. (Robert Collins)
7408
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
7409
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
7411
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
7412
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
7413
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
7415
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
7416
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
7417
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
7419
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
7420
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
7421
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
7422
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
7424
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
7425
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
7426
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
7427
returned. (Robert Collins)
7429
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
7430
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
7432
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
7433
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
7434
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
7435
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
7438
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
7439
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
7444
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
7445
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
7447
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
7448
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
7449
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
7450
makes this behavior available to other users.
7453
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
7454
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
7460
:Released: 2007-09-26
7465
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7466
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7467
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7469
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7471
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
7472
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
7473
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
7474
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
7476
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
7477
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
7484
:Released: 2007-09-11
7486
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
7487
in bzrlib/remote.py.
7493
:Released: 2007-09-11
7498
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7499
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7500
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7501
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7504
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7505
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7506
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7512
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7513
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7514
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
7517
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
7518
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
7519
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
7521
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
7522
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
7523
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
7525
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
7526
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
7528
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
7529
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
7530
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
7531
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
7532
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
7533
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
7534
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
7535
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
7536
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
7537
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
7539
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
7540
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
7542
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
7543
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
7544
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7549
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
7550
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
7552
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
7553
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
7554
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
7556
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
7557
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
7559
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
7560
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
7562
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
7565
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
7566
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
7568
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
7569
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
7571
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
7572
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7574
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
7575
(Blake Winton, #129299)
7577
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
7579
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
7582
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
7583
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
7584
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
7585
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
7587
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7589
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
7590
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
7593
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
7594
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
7596
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
7597
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
7600
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
7601
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
7603
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
7604
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
7606
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
7607
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
7608
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
7609
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
7610
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
7611
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
7612
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
7614
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
7615
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
7617
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
7618
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
7620
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
7621
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
7623
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
7624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
7626
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
7628
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
7630
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
7631
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
7633
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
7634
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
7635
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
7637
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7638
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7639
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7644
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
7645
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7647
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
7650
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
7653
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
7654
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7656
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
7658
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
7659
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
7661
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
7662
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
7664
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
7665
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
7666
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
7667
space). (Robert Collins)
7669
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
7670
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
7673
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
7674
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7676
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
7677
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
7679
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
7680
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
7681
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
7682
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
7684
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
7685
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
7686
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
7689
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
7692
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
7693
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
7694
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
7696
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
7697
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
7698
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
7699
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
7700
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
7705
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
7706
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
7708
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
7709
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
7710
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
7711
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
7712
affected. (Robert Collins)
7714
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
7715
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
7716
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
7719
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7720
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7725
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
7726
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
7728
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
7729
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7731
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7732
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7734
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
7737
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
7738
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7743
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
7744
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
7745
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
7746
its version information. (Robert Collins)
7748
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
7749
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7751
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
7752
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
7753
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
7754
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7756
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
7757
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
7758
present. (Robert Collins)
7760
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
7761
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
7762
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
7763
API. (Robert Collins)
7765
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
7766
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
7769
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
7770
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
7772
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
7773
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
7774
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
7775
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
7776
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
7777
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
7779
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
7780
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
7781
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
7783
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
7784
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
7785
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
7786
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
7789
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
7792
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
7793
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
7794
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
7795
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
7796
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
7797
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
7798
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
7800
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
7801
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
7802
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
7803
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
7805
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
7806
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
7807
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
7808
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
7809
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
7810
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
7812
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
7813
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
7814
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
7816
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
7817
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7823
:Released: 2007-08-28
7828
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
7829
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
7830
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
7831
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
7832
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
7833
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
7834
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
7835
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
7841
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
7842
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
7843
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
7849
:Released: 2007-08-14
7854
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
7855
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7856
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
7857
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
7858
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
7860
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
7861
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
7863
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
7865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
7867
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
7868
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
7871
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
7872
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
7875
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
7878
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
7879
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
7881
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
7882
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
7884
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7885
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7887
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7888
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
7890
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
7891
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
7893
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
7899
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
7900
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
7902
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
7903
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
7905
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
7906
the repository (Robert Collins)
7908
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
7909
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
7910
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
7911
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
7912
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
7914
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
7915
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7917
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
7918
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
7919
(John Arbash Meinel)
7921
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
7922
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
7923
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
7925
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
7926
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
7927
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
7928
(John Arbash Meinel)
7930
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
7931
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
7934
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
7935
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
7937
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
7940
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
7942
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
7944
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
7945
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
7947
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
7948
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
7951
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
7952
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
7953
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
7954
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7956
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
7957
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
7958
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
7960
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
7961
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
7962
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
7964
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
7965
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7967
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7968
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7969
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7970
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7971
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7972
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7975
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7976
(Alexander Belchenko)
7978
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7979
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7981
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7982
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7984
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7986
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7987
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7992
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7993
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7994
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7995
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7997
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7999
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8002
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8003
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8004
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8005
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8006
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8007
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8012
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8013
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8014
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8015
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8017
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8018
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8019
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8020
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8021
tests have been refactored too.
8024
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8025
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8026
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8030
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8031
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8032
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8034
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8035
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8036
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8037
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8038
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8039
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8040
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8042
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8043
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8044
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8045
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8046
(John Arbash Meinel)
8048
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8049
functionality for testing.
8051
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8053
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8054
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8056
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8058
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8061
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8062
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8064
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8065
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8066
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8068
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8071
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8072
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8074
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8075
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8076
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8077
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8079
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8080
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8082
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8083
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8084
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8086
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8089
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8090
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8091
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8092
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8093
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8094
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8096
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8097
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8098
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8099
many files. (Robert Collins)
8101
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8102
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8103
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8104
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8109
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8110
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8111
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8113
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8114
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8116
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8117
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8118
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

8147
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
8148
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)

* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
8151

8169
individually and as part of revision ranges.

* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8183
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
8188
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8189
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8190
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8191
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8192
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8193
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8195
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8196
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8197
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8199
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8202
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8203
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8205
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8206
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8208
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8209
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8211
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8212
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8213
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8214
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8215
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8217
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8218
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8220
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8221
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8222
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8224
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
8225
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
8227
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
8229
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
8230
output. (Aaron Bentley)
8232
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
8233
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
8236
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
8239
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
8240
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
8242
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
8243
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
8245
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
8246
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
8248
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
8250
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
8251
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
8253
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
8259
* Testing cleanups -
8260
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8261
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
8262
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8263
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;

8274
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8275
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
8276
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
8279
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8281
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8282
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8283
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
8285
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
8286
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
8288
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
8289
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8291
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
8293
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
8294
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
8295
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
8296
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
8297
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
8298
same location. (Robert Collins)
8303
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
8305
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
8307
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
8309
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
8312
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
8315
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
8316
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
8317
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
8319
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
8321
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
8322
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
8323
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
8325
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
8326
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
8328
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
8329
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
8330
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
8332
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
8333
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
8334
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
8336
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
8337
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
8338
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
8340
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
8341
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
8344
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
8345
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
8347
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
8348
(Alexander Belchenko)
8353
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
8354
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
8355
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
8356
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8358
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
8359
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
8360
testing. (Robert Collins)
8362
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
8363
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
8365
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
8366
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
8367
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
8368
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
8369
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
8370
attribute during the test parameterisation in
8371
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
8373
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
8374
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
8375
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
8376
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
8378
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
8379
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
8381
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
8382
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
8407
********************
8409
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8410
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
8411
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8412
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
8413
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
8414
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
8415
and unlock() like so::
8417
work_tree.lock_read()
8419
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
8425
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
8426
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
8428
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8429
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
8430
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
8432
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
8433
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
8434
too. (Robert Collins)
8439
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
8440
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
8443
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
8444
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
8446
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
8447
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
8449
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
8450
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
8451
understanding what changes have occurred
8452
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
8454
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
8455
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
8456
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8458
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
8459
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
8460
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
8461
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
8463
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
8469
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
8470
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
8471
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8472
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
8473
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
8475
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
8476
based on split paths, not just string paths.
8477
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
8479
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
8480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
8482
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
8484
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
8486
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
8487
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8489
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8490
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8492
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8493
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8495
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8496
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
8498
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
8499
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
8501
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
8502
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
8503
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
8508
:Released: 2007-05-07
8513
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
8514
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
8515
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
8516
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
8517
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
8519
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
8520
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
8521
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
8523
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
8524
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
8529
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
8530
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
8531
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
8533
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
8534
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
8535
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
8536
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
8541
:Released: 2007-04-30
8546
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
8547
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
8548
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
8549
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
8551
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
8552
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
8553
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
8555
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
8556
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
8558
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
8559
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
8561
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
8562
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
8567
:Released: 2007-04-26
8569
Notes When Upgrading
8570
********************
8572
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
8573
it could be recovered again.
8574
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8575
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
8576
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
8578
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
8580
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
8581
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
8586
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
8587
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8589
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
8590
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
8591
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
8592
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
8594
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
8595
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
8597
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
8598
tests with names that match that regular expression.
8599
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
8601
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
8602
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
8603
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
8605
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
8606
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
8607
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
8609
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
8610
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
8613
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
8616
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
8617
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
8618
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
8619
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
8621
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
8624
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
8625
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
8626
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
8629
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
8630
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
8632
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
8633
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
8635
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
8636
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
8637
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
8638
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
8641
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
8642
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
8644
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
8645
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8647
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
8648
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
8649
(Robert Collins, #107125).
8651
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
8652
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
8653
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
8655
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
8656
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
8657
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8659
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
8660
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
8661
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
8662
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
8664
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
8665
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
8666
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
8667
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
8669
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
8670
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
8671
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
8672
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
8673
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
8674
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
8675
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
8676
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
8683
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
8684
code paths. (Robert Collins)
8686
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
8687
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
8688
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
8689
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
8690
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8692
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
8693
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
8695
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
8696
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
8698
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
8699
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
8701
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
8702
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
8704
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
8705
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
8706
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
8709
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
8710
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
8711
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
8712
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
8713
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
8716
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
8717
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
8718
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
8720
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
8721
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
8724
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
8725
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
8726
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
8729
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
8730
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
8731
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
8732
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
8733
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
8735
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
8736
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
8737
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
8738
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8740
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
8741
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8743
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
8744
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
8745
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
8746
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
8747
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
8748
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
8750
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
8751
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
8753
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
8754
help. (Robert Collins)
8756
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
8757
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8759
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
8760
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
8761
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
8762
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
8763
(John Arbash Meinel)
8765
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
8766
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
8767
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
8768
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
8769
useful. (Robert Collins)
8771
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
8777
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
8778
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
8780
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
8781
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
8783
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
8784
properly and is no longer beneficial.
8785
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
8787
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
8790
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
8791
the file, and does it faster.
8792
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
8794
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
8795
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
8796
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
8798
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
8799
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
8800
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
8801
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
8803
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
8804
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
8805
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
8806
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
8808
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
8809
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
8811
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
8812
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
8813
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
8814
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
8817
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
8819
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
8820
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
8822
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
8823
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
8825
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
8826
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
8827
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
8828
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
8832
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
8833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
8838
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
8839
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
8840
in running it. (Robert Collins)
8842
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
8843
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
8845
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
8846
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
8847
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
8848
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
8849
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
8850
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
8851
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
8852
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8854
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
8855
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
8856
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8858
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
8859
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
8860
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
8861
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
8862
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
8864
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8866
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
8867
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
8868
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8870
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
8871
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
8877
:Released: 2007-04-01
8882
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
8885
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
8886
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
8892
:Released: 2007-03-26
8897
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
8898
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
8904
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
8905
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
8906
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
8907
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
8908
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
8909
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
8910
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
8911
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
8917
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
8918
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
8919
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
8921
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
8922
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
8925
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
8926
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
8927
(John Arbash Meinel)
8929
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
8930
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
8931
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
8932
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
8933
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
8938
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
8941
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
8942
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
8944
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
8945
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
8947
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
8948
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
8949
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
8951
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
8952
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
8954
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
8955
last-changed-revision for directories. The
8956
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
8957
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
8958
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
8960
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
8961
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
8962
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
8964
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

8972
Notes When Upgrading
8973
********************
8975
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8976
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8977
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8982
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8983
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8985
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8986
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8988
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8990
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8991
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8993
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8994
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8999
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9005
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9006
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9007
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9008
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9010
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9011
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9013
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9014
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9016
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9019
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9020
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9026
:Released: 2007-03-07
9031
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9032
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9033
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9034
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9035
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9036
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9038
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9039
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9040
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9041
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9042
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9043
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9045
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9047
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9048
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9049
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9050
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9051
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9052
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9053
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9054
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9059
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9060
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9062
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9063
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9064
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9065
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9067
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9068
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9069
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9070
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9071
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9073
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9076
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9079
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9082
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9083
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
9086
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9089
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9090
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9092
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9093
directory. (Martin Pool)
9095
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9096
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9097
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9098
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9100
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9101
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9102
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9103
in docs/configuration.txt.
9105
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9106
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9109
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9110
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9111
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9112
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9113
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9114
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9116
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9117
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9119
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9120
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9122
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
9128
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9129
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9130
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9131
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9132
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9133
(John Arbash Meinel)
9135
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9136
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9139
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9140
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9141
(John Arbash Meinel)
9143
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9144
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9145
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9146
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9147
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9148
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9150
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9151
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9152
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9154
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9155
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9156
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9157
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9159
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9161
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9162
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9163
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9164
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9166
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9167
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9168
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9169
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9171
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9172
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9173
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9175
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9176
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9177
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9179
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9180
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9181
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9182
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9184
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9185
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9186
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9188
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9189
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9190
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9192
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9193
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9194
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9195
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9196
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9197
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9198
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9199
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9200
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
9201
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
9202
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
9207
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
9208
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
9209
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
9211
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
9214
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
9215
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
9216
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
9217
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
9219
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
9220

9223
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
9224
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)

* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
9228
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
9229
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
9230
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
9232
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

9235
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
9236

9253
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
9270
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
9271
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
9273
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
9274
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
9275
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
9281
:Released: 2007-01-16
9286
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
9287
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
9288
server, then you can write over the http connection.
9289
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9291
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
9294
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
9295
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
9296
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9298
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
9299
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
9301
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
9304
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
9305
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
9306
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
9307
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
9308
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
9309
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
9311
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
9312
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
9313
should enable you to do::
9315
[/home/user/project]
9316
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
9317
push_location:policy = appendpath
9319
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
9320
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
9323
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
9324
for each file. For example::
9326
$ bzr status --short
9332
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
9333
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
9335
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
9337
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
9338
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
9340
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
9345
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
9346
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
9347
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
9348
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
9350
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
9351
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
9352
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
9354
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
9356
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
9357
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
9358
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
9359
(Alexander Belchenko)
9361
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
9364
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
9365
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
9367
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
9372
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
9373
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
9375
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
9376
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
9377
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
9378
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
9379
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
9381
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
9382
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
9384
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
9385
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
9387
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
9389
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
9391
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
9392
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
9393
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
9394
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
9395
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
9397
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
9398
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
9399
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
9400
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
9402
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
9403
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
9405
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
9406
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
9408
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
9409

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
9433
(Daniel Silverstone)
9435
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
9436
operations are substantially faster.
9437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
9439
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
9440
tree from some other url. For example:
9441
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
9442
(Daniel Silverstone)
9444
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
9445
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
9446
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
9447
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
9449
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
9452
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
9453
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
9454
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
9455
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
9456
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
9457
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
9462
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
9463
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
9466
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9467
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9468
(John Arbash Meinel)
9470
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
9471
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
9472
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
9473
(John Arbash Meinel)
9475
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
9476
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
9478
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
9479
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9481
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
9482
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
9488
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
9489
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
9490
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
9492
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
9493
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
9494
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
9495
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
9497
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
9499
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
9500
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
9502
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
9503
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
9504
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
9505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
9507
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
9508
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
9509
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
9511
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
9512
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
9513
them as full references rather than integers.
9514
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
9516
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
9517
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
9519
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
9521
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
9522
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
9524
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
9525
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
9527
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
9528
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
9529
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
9530
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
9532
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
9533
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
9534
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
9536
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
9537
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
9539
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
9540
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
9541
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
9542
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

9571
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
9572
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
9573
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
9574
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
9576
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
9577
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
9579
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
9581
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
9582
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
9583
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
9584
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9586
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
9587
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
9588
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
9589
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
9590
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
9595
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
9596
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
9601
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
9602
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
9603
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9605
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
9606
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
9607
(John Arbash Meinel)
9609
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
9610
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
9611
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
9613
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
9614
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
9617
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
9618
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
9619
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9621
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
9622
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
9623
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
9624
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
9625
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
9626
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9628
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
9629
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
9630
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
9633
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
9634
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
9639
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
9640
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
9641
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
9644
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
9645
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
9647
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
9648
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
9649
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
9651
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
9652
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
9654
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
9655
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
9656
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
9657
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
9659
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
9660
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
9662
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
9663
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
9664
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
9666
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
9667
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
9669
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9671
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
9672
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
9678
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
9679
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
9680
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
9681
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
9683
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
9684
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
9685
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
9716
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
9717
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
9718
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9719
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
9720
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
9721
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
9723
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
9724
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
9725
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
9727
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
9729
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
9730
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
9732
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
9733
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
9734
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
9737
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
9738
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
9739
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
9740
(John Arbash Meinel)
9742
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
9743
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
9744
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
9745
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
9748
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
9749
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
9750
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
9751
(John Arbash Meinel)
9756
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
9757
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
9759
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
9761
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
9762
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
9763
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
9765
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
9766
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
9768
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
9769
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
9771
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
9772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
9774
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
9775
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
9777
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
9779
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
9780
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
9782
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
9783
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
9785
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
9786
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
9788
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
9789
(John Arbash Meinel)
9791
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
9792
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
9793
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
9795
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
9796
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9798
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
9799
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
9800
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
9801
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
9803
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
9804
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
9805
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
9807
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
9808
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
9813
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
9818
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
9819
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
9820
(John Arbash Meinel)
9822
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
9823
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
9824
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
9825
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9827
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
9830
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
9831
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
9832
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
9834
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
9835
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
9837
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
9838
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
9839
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
9841
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
9842
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
9843
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
9844
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
9845
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
9846
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
9847
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
9848
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
9849
caller to repeat their request.
9850
(John Arbash Meinel)
9852
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
9853
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
9855
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
9856
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
9858
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
9859
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
9860
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
9861
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
9862
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
9863
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
9864
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
9866
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
9867
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
9868
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
9869
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
9870
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
9871
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
9872
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
9873
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
9876
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
9877
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
9878
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
9880
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
9881
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
9883
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
9884
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9886
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
9887
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9892
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
9893
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
9895
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
9896
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
9897
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9899
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
9900
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
9901
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9906
:Released: 2006-08-29
9910
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
9911
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
9913
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
9914
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
9915
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
9916
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
9917
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
9919
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
9920
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
9921
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
9923
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
9924
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
9926
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
9927
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
9928
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9933
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
9935
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
9936
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
9937
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
9939
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
9941
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
9943
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
9944
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
9945
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
9946
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
9948
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
9949
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
9950
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
9951
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
9952
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
9954
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
9955
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
9957
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
9958
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
9960
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
9961
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
9963
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
9964
in handling of revision properties.
9965
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9967
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9968
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9973
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9974
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9975
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9976
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9977
(John Arbash Meinel)
9979
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9980
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9981
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9986
:Released: 2006-08-11
9991
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9992
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9993
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9994
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9995
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9996
a more conservative list than the old default.
9997
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9998
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9999
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10000
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10002
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10003
to more locations than just branch locations.
10009
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10010
revno:N:branch. For example,
10011
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10012
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10014
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10015
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10016
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10017
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10018
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10019
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10020
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10021
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10024
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10025
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10026
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10029
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10030
(Alexander Belchenko)
10032
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10034
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10037
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10038
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10039
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10040
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10041
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10042
(John Arbash Meinel)
10044
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10045
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10046
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10047
grained analysis of performance.
10048
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10050
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10051
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10053
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10054
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10055
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10056
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10057
file. (Robert Collins).
10059
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10060
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10061
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10063
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10064
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10067
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10068
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10070
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10071
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10072
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10073
the same way you would apply another branch.
10074
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10076
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10077
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10079
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10082
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10085
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10086
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10087
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10089
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10090
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10091
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10093
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10094
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10096
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10097
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10098
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10099
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10100
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10102
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10103
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10105
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10106
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10107
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10108
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10109
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10110
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10111
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10112
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10114
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10115
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10116
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
10121
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10123
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10125
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10126
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10128
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10129
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10131
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10132
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10134
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10136
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10137
(John Arbash Meinel)
10139
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10140
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10142
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10143
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10146
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10147
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10149
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10150
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10152
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10153
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10154
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10155
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10157
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10158
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10160
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
10162
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
10163
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
10165
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
10167
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
10169
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10170
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10172
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10173
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10175
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10176
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10177
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10179
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10180
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10181
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10183
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10184
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10186
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10187
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10189
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10190
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10192
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10193
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10195
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10196
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10198
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10199
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10200
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10202
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10204
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10205
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10210
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10211
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10212
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10214
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10215
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10217
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10218
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10219
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10221
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10222
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10224
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10225
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10228
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10229
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10230
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10232
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10233
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10234
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10236
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10237
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10238
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10240
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
10241
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
10242
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
10244
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
10245
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
10246
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
10248
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
10249
instead. (Robert Collins)
10251
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
10256
:Released: 2006-05-17
10261
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
10266
:Released: 2006-05-16
10271
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
10272
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
10274
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
10275
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10277
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
10278
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
10279
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
10284
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
10286
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
10287
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
10289
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
10294
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
10295
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
10296
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
10297
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
10302
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
10303
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
10304
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
10309
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
10310
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
10311
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10316
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
10317
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
10325
********************
10327
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
10328
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
10329
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
10330
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
10331
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
10332
will keep the same format.
10334
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
10335
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
10336
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
10337
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
10338
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
10340
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
10341
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
10342
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
10343
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
10344
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
10345
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
10346
indicating the current revision of the branch.
10348
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
10349
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
10350
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
10351
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
10352
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
10354
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
10355
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
10356
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
10363
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
10364
convention. Paths now take the form::
10366
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10368
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
10370
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
10371
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
10373
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
10374
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
10375
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
10377
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
10378
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
10379
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
10380
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
10382
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
10383
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
10384
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
10386
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
10388
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
10390
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
10391
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
10394
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
10395
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
10396
| xargs bzr re-sign
10398
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
10400
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
10401
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
10402
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
10405
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
10407
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
10409
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
10412
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
10413
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
10415
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
10416
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
10417
Daniel Silverstone)
10419
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
10420
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
10423
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
10425
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
10427
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
10428
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
10430
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
10431
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
10432
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
10433
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
10434
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
10435
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
10437
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
10439
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
10440
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
10443
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
10444
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
10446
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
10447
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
10449
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
10451
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
10452
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
10453
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
10454
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
10455
specification by Martin Pool.
10456
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
10458
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
10461
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
10462
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10464
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10465
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10466
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10468
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10470
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10471
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10477
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
10478
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10480
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10482
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10484
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10487
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10488
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10489
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10490
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
10495
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10496
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
10497
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10498
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10500
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10501
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10502
tried. (Martin Pool)
10504
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10507
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10509
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10510
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
10511
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
10513
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10514
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10516
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
10517
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
10518
paths. (Robert Collins)
10520
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
10521
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
10522
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
10524
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
10525
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
10526
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
10528
* Progress bars are now nested - see
10529
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
10530
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10532
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
10535
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
10538
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
10540
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
10542
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
10543
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
10544
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
10547
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
10548
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
10550
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
10551
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
10552
check. (Robert Collins)
10554
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
10555
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
10560
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
10561
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
10563
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
10564
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
10565
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
10566
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
10568
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
10569
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
10570
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
10571
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
10572
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
10574
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
10575
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
10576
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
10578
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
10580
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
10581
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
10586
:Released: 2006-01-09
10591
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
10592
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
10594
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
10595
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10596
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
10599
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
10600
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
10602
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
10603
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
10604
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
10605
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
10606
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
10608
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
10609
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
10610
used. (Robert Collins)
10612
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
10613
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
10616
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
10617
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
10618
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
10620
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
10623
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
10624
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
10629
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
10630
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
10632
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10634
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10636
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
10637
tree. (Robert Collins)
10639
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
10640
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10641
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
10644
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
10647
* Tweaks to short log printing
10649
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
10652
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
10653
occurs. (Martin Pool)
10655
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
10656
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
10658
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
10659
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
10661
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
10662
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
10663
settings. (Magnus Therning)
10665
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
10666
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10668
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
10669
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
10672
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
10673
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
10675
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
10676
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
10678
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
10679
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
10681
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
10684
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
10685
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
10687
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
10688
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
10690
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
10691
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
10692
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
10697
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
10699
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10701
* Error when run with -OO
10703
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
10706
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
10708
* Change status to 3 for all errors
10710
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
10711
ignored by diff and status
10713
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
10714
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
10716
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
10718
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
10720
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
10721
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
10723
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
10724
email address. (Marien Zwart)
10726
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
10729
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
10730
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10732
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
10734
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
10735
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
10737
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
10740
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
10741
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
10743
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
10748
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
10749
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
10751
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10753
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10755
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
10757
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
10758
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
10759
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10761
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10763
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
10764
(John Arbash Meinel)
10766
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
10768
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
10769
If adding a new test script please add that to
10770
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
10772
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
10773
imported. (Martin Pool)
10775
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
10776
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
10777
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
10778
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
10779
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
10782
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
10783
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
10784
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
10786
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
10787
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
10788
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10790
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
10791
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
10792
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
10793
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
10794
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
10797
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
10798
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
10804
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
10805
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
10807
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
10808
function. (Robert Collins)
10810
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
10811
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
10812
if needed). (Robert Collins)
10814
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
10815
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
10818
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
10819
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
10820
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
10821
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
10822
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
10823
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
10824
version. (Robert Collins)
10826
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
10827
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
10829
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
10830
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
10831
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
10832
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
10833
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
10834
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
10836
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
10839
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
10849
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
10851
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
10853
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
10856
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
10857
query method. (Robert Collins)
10859
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
10862
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
10865
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
10868
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
10869
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
10870
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
10871
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
10873
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
10874
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
10875
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
10876
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
10878
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
10879
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
10884
:Released: 2005-10-28
10889
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
10892
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
10896
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
10897
a separator, not ':'.
10900
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
10901
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
10902
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
10904
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10905
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
10908
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
10909
has been added that suppresses all output.
10911
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
10914
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
10915
Goffredo Baroncelli.
10917
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
10918
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
10920
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
10921
a revision. (Robert Collins)
10923
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
10924
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
10925
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
10926
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
10928
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
10930
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
10931
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
10933
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
10934
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
10936
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
10937
output directory, if one was supplied.
10939
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
10940
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
10941
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
10942
parameters. (Robert Collins)
10944
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
10946
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
10947
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
10949
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
10950
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
10951
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
10953
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
10954
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
10956
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
10959
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
10961
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
10966
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10967
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10968
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10970
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10971
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10972
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10974
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10975
is given. (Martin Pool)
10977
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10978
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10979
file. (Robert Collins)
10981
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10987
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10988
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10989
representation. (Martin Pool).
10991
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10992
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10993
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10995
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10998
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10999
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11002
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11003
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11004
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11005
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11006
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11008
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11009
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11010
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11011
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11012
python path. (Robert Collins)
11014
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11015
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11016
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11017
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11019
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11020
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11022
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11023
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11026
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11027
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11028
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11030
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11031
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11032
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11034
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11035
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11037
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11038
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11039
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11042
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11043
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11044
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11045
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11048
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11051
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11052
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11055
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11056
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11057
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11059
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11060
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11061
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11063
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11064
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11065
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11067
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11068
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11070
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11071
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11072
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11073
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11074
caller. (Robert Collins)
11076
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11077
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11080
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11081
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11084
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11086
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11087
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
11092
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
11093
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
11095
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
11096
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
11102
:Released: 2005-10-12
11107
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
11108
allow directories to be listed.
11110
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
11111
upgrading branch format.
11116
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
11122
:Released: 2005-10-11
11127
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11128
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11129
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11130
high-latency connections.
11135
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11138
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11139
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11141
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11142
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11143
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11144
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11146
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11147
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11149
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11150
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11152
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11153
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11154
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11156
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11157
for files with only a change to their executable status.
11158
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11161
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
11162
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
11164
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11165
different partial views of history.
11167
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
11168
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
11173
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11174
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11175
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11177
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11178
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11181
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11182
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11184
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
11187
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11188
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11190
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11191
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11192
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11193
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11195
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11197
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11198
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
11201
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
11202
Contributed by Robert Collins.
11204
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
11205
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
11206
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
11212
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11213
for your viewing pleasure.
11215
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11216
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11218
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11219
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11220
handling of such circumstances.
11222
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11223
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11224
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11226
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11228
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11229
we call them revisions not patches.
11231
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11232
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11234
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11235
giving the revision *of that file*.
11237
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
11238
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
11239
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
11244
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
11245
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
11247
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
11248
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
11254
:Released: 2005-09-23
11259
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
11261
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
11264
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
11266
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
11268
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
11269
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11274
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
11275
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
11277
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
11278
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
11279
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
11280
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
11283
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
11284
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11289
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
11291
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
11292
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
11298
:Released: 2005-09-20
11304
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
11305
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
11306
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
11307
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
11310
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
11313
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
11314
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
11315
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
11316
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
11317
for the operating system is still tried.
11319
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
11320
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
11321
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
11327
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
11332
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
11334
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
11337
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

11357
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
11358
help with intelligent shell completion.
11360
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
11366
* Much better merge support.
11368
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
11369
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
11376
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
11377
mention revisions that are not present.
11379
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
11381
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
11383
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
11384
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
11390
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
11392
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
11393
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
11400
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
11401
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
11409
:Released: 2005-08-18
11414
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
11415
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
11417
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
11419
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11420
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
11422
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
11425
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
11427
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
11430
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
11431
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
11433
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
11434
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
11435
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
11441
* Faster working tree operations.
11447
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
11448
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
11449
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
11450
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
11452
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
11453
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
11454
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
11455
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
11456
standard plugins directory.
11458
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
11459
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
11460
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
11461
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
11463
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
11464
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
11466
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
11469
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
11470
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
11471
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
11473
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
11474
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
11476
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
11477
line options must come before the command name because they
11478
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
11479
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
11482
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
11484
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
11485
is available with ``--short``.
11491
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
11497
:Released: 2005-06-15
11502
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
11503
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11505
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
11506
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
11507
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11508
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
11510
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
11511
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
11512
with the ``--forward`` option.
11514
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
11515
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
11522

11523
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
11525

11527
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11528
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
11530
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
11532
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
11533
either read or write mode.
11535
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
11537
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
11538
affected that file.
11540
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
11542
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
11543
suggested by LarstiQ.
11545
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
11546
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
11548
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
11551
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
11552
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
11554
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
11555
haven't changed since the previous time.
11557
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
11558
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
11560
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
11562
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
11564
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
11565
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
11567
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
11568
options through to an external GNU diff.
11570
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
11573
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
11580
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
11581
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
11583
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
11590
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
11591
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
11594
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
11595
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
11597
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
11598
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
11600
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
11601
under a different version.
11603
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
11609
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
11611

11612
Scott James Remnant.
11614
* Better help messages for many commands.
11616
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
11617
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
11619
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
11620
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
11622
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
11624
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
11626
* New AtomicFile class.
11628
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
11634
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
11635
2.4 is now only recommended.
11641

11646
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
11647
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
11649
* More default ignore patterns.
11651
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
11652
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
11654
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
11656
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
11659
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
11665
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
11666
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
11667
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
11668
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
11669
there are DNS problems.
11671
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
11677
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.

11682
trailing newlines properly.

11691
* More tests in test.sh.
11693
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
11694
directory and delete it when done.
11696
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
11702
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
11705
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
11712

11736
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
11742
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
11743
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
