:2.2b2: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
20
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
25
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
26
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
27
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
28
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
29
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
31
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
32
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
34
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
35
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
36
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
38
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
39
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
40
which is not installed any more" error.
41
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
43
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
44
that are not part of the ancestry anymore.
45
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
50
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
51
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
52
(Robert Collins, #530265)
54
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
57
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
60
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
61
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
62
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
63
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
64
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
66
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
68
(Martin Pool, #553017)
79
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
80
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
81
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
82
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
92
:2.2.0b1: Not released yet
97
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
98
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
100
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
101
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
104
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
105
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
107
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
108
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
110
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
111
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
112
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
113
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
114
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
117
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
118
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
119
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
124
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
125
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
127
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
128
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
129
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
131
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
132
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
133
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
134
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
135
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
137
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
138
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
141
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
142
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
145
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
146
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
147
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
148
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
149
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
152
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
153
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
156
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
157
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
158
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
161
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
162
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
167
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
168
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
170
* Allow additional arguments to
171
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
173
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
174
(Michal Junák, #511987)
176
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
177
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
178
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
179
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
181
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
184
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
185
(Martin Pool, #331095)
187
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
188
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
190
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
193
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
194
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
195
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
197
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
198
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
199
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
200
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
201
(Robert Collins, #396261)
203
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
204
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
207
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
208
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
210
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
211
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
214
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
215
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
216
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
218
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
219
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
221
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
223
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
224
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
226
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
227
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
228
(Martin Pool, #528722)
230
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
231
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
234
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
237
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
238
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
241
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
242
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
243
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
244
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
246
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
248
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
249
deletion is involved.
250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
252
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
253
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
254
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
256
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
257
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
258
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
260
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
261
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
263
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
264
the debugger won't kill the session.
265
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
267
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
268
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
270
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
271
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
272
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
274
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
275
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
277
(Parth Malwankar, #376388)
279
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
280
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
285
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
286
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
289
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
290
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
292
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
293
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
295
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
296
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
297
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
298
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
300
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
301
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
302
to be done separately.
303
(Martin Pool, #507710)
305
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
306
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
309
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
310
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
312
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
313
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
315
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
318
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
324
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
325
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
327
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
328
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
329
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
331
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
332
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
333
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
334
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
337
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
338
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
340
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
341
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
343
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
344
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
350
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
351
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
352
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
354
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
357
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
358
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
361
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
362
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
363
dependency regressions.
366
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
367
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
369
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
370
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
372
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
373
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
374
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
375
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
376
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
377
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
384
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
385
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
390
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
391
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
392
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
393
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
395
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
396
(Martin Pool, #331095)
398
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
400
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
403
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
404
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
406
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
408
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
409
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
410
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
412
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
413
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
415
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
416
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
422
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
424
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
426
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
427
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
432
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
433
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
434
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
435
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
441
:Codename: Strasbourg
444
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
445
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
446
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
448
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
449
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
450
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
451
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
452
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
453
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
455
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
460
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
463
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
464
(Martin Pool, #513432)
466
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
467
when it encounters conflicts.
468
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
470
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
471
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
473
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
474
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
475
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
476
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
477
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
478
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
480
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
481
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
482
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
487
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
493
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
494
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
497
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
498
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
501
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
502
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
504
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
505
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
506
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
507
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
508
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
509
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
510
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
511
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
513
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
520
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
521
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
522
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
524
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
529
* The ``remove_index`` method of
530
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
531
argument. This argument was always ignored.
532
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
537
:Codename: after the bubbles
538
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
540
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
541
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
546
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
547
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
548
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
549
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
550
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
551
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
552
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
558
:Codename: the 'new' stable
559
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
561
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
562
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
563
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
564
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
565
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
566
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
567
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
568
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
569
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
575
* Add bug information to log output when available.
576
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
578
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
579
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
582
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
583
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
584
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
587
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
588
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
590
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
591
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
593
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
594
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
595
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
597
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
598
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
599
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
602
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
603
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
604
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
606
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
607
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
608
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
609
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
610
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
611
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
613
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
614
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
615
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
616
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
617
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
622
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
623
user-specified commit message editor.
624
(Martin Pool, #504842)
626
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
627
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
628
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
630
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
631
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
632
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
634
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
635
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
637
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
638
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
639
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
640
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
641
another process already removed the file.
642
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
644
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
645
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
647
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
648
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
649
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
651
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
652
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
654
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
657
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
660
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
661
(Martin Pool, #320035)
663
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
664
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
665
depended on this behaviour.
666
(Martin Pool, #499757)
668
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
669
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
670
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
671
should appear up-to-date.)
672
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
677
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
678
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
679
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
680
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
682
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
683
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
685
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
686
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
687
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
689
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
690
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
691
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
693
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
696
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
697
Bazaar is doing network IO.
703
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
704
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
706
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
707
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
709
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
710
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
712
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
713
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
715
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
716
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
717
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
719
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
722
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
723
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
729
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
732
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
733
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
734
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
735
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
737
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
738
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
739
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
741
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
742
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
744
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
745
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
746
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
747
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
749
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
755
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
756
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
757
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
759
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
760
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
761
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
762
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
764
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
765
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
770
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
771
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
772
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
773
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
774
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
776
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
777
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
778
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
779
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
780
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
781
suite. (Robert Collins)
783
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
784
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
785
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
787
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
788
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
796
:2.0.5: NOT RELEASED YET
801
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
802
(Martin Pool, #331095)
804
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
805
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
806
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
807
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
808
another process already removed the file.
809
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
811
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
812
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
814
(Martin Pool, #185103)
816
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
817
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
818
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
820
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
822
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
823
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
825
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
826
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
828
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
829
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
830
``UnboundLocalError``.
831
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
833
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
834
version number along with rest of the help text.
835
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
837
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
839
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
844
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
845
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)

:Codename: smooth sailing
853
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
854
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
855
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
856
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
862
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
863
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
865
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
866
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
867
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
868
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
870
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
871
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
872
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
873
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
874
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
876
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
877
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
878
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
880
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
881
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
882
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
883
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
885
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
886
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
888
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
889
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
890
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
891
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
892
(Martin Pool, #456077)
894
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
895
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
896
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
897
users, rather than something nicer.
898
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
900
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
901
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
903
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
904
build. (there is still the distutils bug
905
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
907
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
908
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
909
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
911
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
912
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
913
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
914
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
915
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
917
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
918
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
919
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
924
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
925
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
926
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
927
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)
933
:Codename: san francisco airport
936
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
937
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
938
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
939
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
940
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
941
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
947
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
948
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
949
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
950
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
951
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
956
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
957
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
959
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
960
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
962
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
963
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
965
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
966
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
967
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
968
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
972
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
973
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
981
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
982
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
983
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
985
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
986
and issues a warning.
987
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
989
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
991
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
992
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
994
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
995
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
996
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
997
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
999
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1001
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1002
(Robert Collins, #84659)
1004
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
1006
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1007
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1009
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1011
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1012
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1014
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1015
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1016
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1017
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1019
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1020
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1022
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1023
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1025
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1026
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1027
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1029
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1030
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1031
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1032
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1034
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1035
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1036
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1038
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1039
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1040
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1041
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1043
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1044
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
1045
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
1051
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1053
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1054
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1056
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1057
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1058
(John Arbash Meinel)
1060
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1061
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1064
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1065
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1066
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1067
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1068
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
1073
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
1079
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
1081
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1082
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1083
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
1089
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1090
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1091
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1092
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1094
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1095
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1096
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1097
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1098
(John Arbash Meinel)
1100
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1101
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1102
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1103
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1104
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1105
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1110
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1111
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
1117
:Codename: little italy
1121
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1122
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1128
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1129
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1130
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1132
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1133
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1135
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1136
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1137
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1138
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1140
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1146
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1147
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1149
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1150
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1151
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1152
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1154
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1155
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1156
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1157
formats for Remote objects.
1163
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1164
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1169
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1171
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1173
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1174
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1176
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1178
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1179
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1180
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1181
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1182
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1183
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1185
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1186
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1187
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1188
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1190
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1191
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1193
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1194
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1196
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1197
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1198
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1199
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1200
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1201
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1202
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1204
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1205
(Alexander Belchenko)
1207
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1208
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1213
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1215
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1216
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1217
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1219
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1224
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1225
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1226
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1231
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1232
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1234
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1235
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1237
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1238
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1240
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1241
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1243
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1244
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1245
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1246
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1248
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1249
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1251
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1252
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1253
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1254
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1256
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1257
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1258
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1259
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
1266
:Codename: a load off my mind
1267
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1269
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1270
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1272
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1273
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1274
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1275
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1276
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1279
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1280
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1281
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1282
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1283
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1284
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1289
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1290
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1292
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1293
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1294
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1295
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1297
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1298
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1300
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1301
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1302
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1303
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1305
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1306
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1308
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1309
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1314
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1315
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1316
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1317
(John Arbash Meinel)
1319
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1320
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
1321
(John Arbash Meinel)
1326
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1327
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1332
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1334
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1335
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1341
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1342
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1343
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1344
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1345
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1346
(John Arbash Meinel)
1348
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1349
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1350
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1351
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1352
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1353
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1354
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1355
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1356
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1358
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1359
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1360
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1361
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1362
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1363
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1364
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1366
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1367
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1368
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1369
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1375
:Codename: after the scare
1378
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1379
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1380
changes or features.
1385
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1386
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1388
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1391
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1393
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1394
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1395
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1397
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1398
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
1400
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
1401
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
1403
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
1404
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
1409
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
1410
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1415
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1416
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1422
:Codename: While the cat is away
1423
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1425
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1426
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1427
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1428
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1429
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1430
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1431
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1433
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1434
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1435
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1436
error handling during unlocking.
1442
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1445
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1446
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1447
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1448
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1449
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1450
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1452
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1453
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1454
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1456
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1457
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1460
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1461
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1462
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1464
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1465
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1468
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1469
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
1470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
1475
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1476
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1477
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1478
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1479
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1480
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1481
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1483
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1484
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1485
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1487
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1488
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1489
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1492
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1493
merges are present in the working tree.
1494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1496
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1497
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1499
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1500
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1502
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1505
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1506
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1509
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1510
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1512
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1513
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1515
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1518
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1519
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1520
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1525
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1526
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1527
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1529
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1530
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1531
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1532
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1533
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1534
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1535
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
1536
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1538
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1539
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1540
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1541
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
1542
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
1547
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1549
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1550
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1555
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1556
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1558
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1559
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1561
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1562
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1563
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1565
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1568
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1569
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1570
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1571
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1572
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1576
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1582
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1583
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1586
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1587
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1588
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1589
(John Arbash Meinel)
1591
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1592
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1598
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1599
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1601
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1602
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1604
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1605
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1608
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1612
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1613
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1615
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1616
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1617
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1619
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1620
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1621
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1622
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1623
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1625
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1626
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1628
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1629
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
1635
:Codename: Stability First
1638
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
1639
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
1640
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
1646
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1647
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1648
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1650
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1651
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1652
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1654
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1655
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1656
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1658
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1659
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1661
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1662
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1663
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1664
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1665
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1667
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1668
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1670
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1671
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1672
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1673
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1675
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1676
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1677
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1679
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1680
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1681
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1682
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1683
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1684
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1685
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1687
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1688
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1690
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1691
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1692
to download the entire cix file many times.
1693
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1695
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1696
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
1701
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1703
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
1711
:Codename: Instant Karma
1713
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1714
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1715
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1716
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1717
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1720
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1721
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1723
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1724
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
1725
months or until the following stable release.
1727
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
1728
******************************
1730
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
1731
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
1732
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
1733
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1739
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
1744
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
1745
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
1746
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
1751
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1752
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1753
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1754
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1755
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1756
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1757
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1759
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1760
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1761
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1763
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1764
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1766
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1767
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1768
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1770
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1771
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1773
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
1774
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
1775
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
1776
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
1777
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
1778
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
1779
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
1781
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
1782
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
1783
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
1784
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
1785
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
1786
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
1788
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
1789
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
1790
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1792
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
1793
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
1794
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1796
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
1797
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
1798
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
1800
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1801
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1803
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
1804
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
1805
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
1806
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
1811
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
1812
older smart servers.
1813
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
1815
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1816
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1818
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
1819
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
1820
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
1822
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
1823
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
1824
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
1826
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
1827
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
1837
********************
1839
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
1840
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
1841
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
1842
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
1843
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
1845
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
1846
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
1847
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
1848
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
1853
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
1854
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1859
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1860
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1862
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
1863
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
1864
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
1865
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
1866
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
1868
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
1869
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
1870
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
1872
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1875
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
1876
(Martin Pool, #286871)
1878
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
1879
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
1880
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
1882
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
1883
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
1884
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
1885
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
1890
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1891
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1892
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1894
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
1895
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
1896
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
1897
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
1899
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
1901
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
1902
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1904
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
1905
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1907
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
1908
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
1909
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
1911
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
1912
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
1913
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
1914
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
1915
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
1916
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
1921
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
1927
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1928
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1929
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1937
:Codename: nein nein nein!
1940
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
1941
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
1942
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
1943
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
1944
pushing to older servers.
1949
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
1950
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
1951
(Martin Pool, #415508)
1953
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
1954
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
1955
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
1960
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
1961
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1963
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
1964
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1969
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1970
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1971
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1973
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
1974
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
1975
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
1977
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
1978
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
1979
should be used. (Robert Collins)
1984
Compatibility Breaks
1985
********************
1987
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
1988
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
1989
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
1990
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
1991
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
1999
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2000
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2001
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
2002
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
2003
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
2005
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2008
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
2009
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
2011
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2012
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2014
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2015
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2016
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2017
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2019
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2020
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2021
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2023
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2024
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2026
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2027
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2028
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2029
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
2034
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2035
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2036
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2038
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2039
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2040
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2041
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2042
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2044
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2045
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2046
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
2047
(John Arbash Meinel)
2058
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2059
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2060
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2061
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2062
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2063
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2065
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2066
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2067
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2068
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2070
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2071
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
2072
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
2073
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
2074
(John Arbash Meinel)
2076
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
2077
protocols. (Robert Collins)
2079
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
2080
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
2081
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
2082
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
2088
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
2089
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

2097
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2099
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2100
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2101
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2102
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2103
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2104
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2106
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2107
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2108
or until the following stable release.
2110
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2115
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2116
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2118
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2119
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2120
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2125
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2126
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2127
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2129
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2130
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2131
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2132
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2134
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2135
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2136
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2137
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2139
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2140
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2142
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2143
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2144
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2145
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2147
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2148
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2150
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2151
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2153
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2154
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2155
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2156
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2157
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2159
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2160
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2161
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2163
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2164
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2165
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2166
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2167
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2169
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2170
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2172
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2173
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2174
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2176
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2177
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2178
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2180
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2181
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2183
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2184
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2185
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2187
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2188
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2190
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2191
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2193
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2194
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2196
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2197
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2198
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2200
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2201
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2202
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2204
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2206
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2207
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2209
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2210
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2211
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2212
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2213
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2214
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2216
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2217
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2218
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2220
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2221
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2222
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2223
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2225
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2226
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2227
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2228
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2231
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2232
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2233
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2238
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2241
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2242
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2243
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2244
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2246
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2247
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2248
(John Arbash Meinel)
2253
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2258
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2259
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2260
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2261
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2262
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2263
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2265
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2268
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2271
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2275
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2276
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2281
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2282
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2283
paths. (Robert Collins)
2285
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2286
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2288
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2289
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2290
disk. (Robert Collins)
2292
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2293
it. (Robert Collins)
2295
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2296
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
2297
(Alexander Belchenko)
2303
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.

(Martin Pool, #409684)
2306
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2307
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2309
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2310
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2311
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2312
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2313
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2314
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being

:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
2335
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2336
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2339
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2340
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2341
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2342
annoying progress bar artifacts.
2345
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2346
*********************************
2348
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2349
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2350
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2352
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2353
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2354
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2356
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
2357
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
2360
Compatibility Breaks
2361
********************
2363
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2364
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2365
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
2366
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2372
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2373
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2374
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2375
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2377
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2378
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2379
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2381
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2382
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2383
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2387
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2388
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2389
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2390
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2396
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2397
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2399
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2400
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2401
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2402
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2404
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2405
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2407
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2408
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2409
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2411
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2412
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2414
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2415
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2417
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2418
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2420
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2421
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2422
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2424
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2427
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2428
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2430
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2431
of a remote repository.
2432
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2434
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2435
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2438
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2440
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2442
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2443
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2445
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2446
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2448
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2449
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2450
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2452
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2453
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2454
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2455
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2456
(John Arbash Meinel)
2458
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2459
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2460
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2462
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2463
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2464
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2465
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2466
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2467
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2469
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2470
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2471
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2472
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2473
activity display respectively.
2474
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2476
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2477
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2479
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2482
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2483
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2489
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2490
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2491
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2492
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2494
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2495
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2496
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2497
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2500
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2501
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2503
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2504
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2505
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2506
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2507
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2508
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2510
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2511
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2512
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2513
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2515
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2516
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2517
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2518
(John Arbash Meinel)
2521
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2522
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2523
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2524
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2530
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2531
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2532
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2533
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2535
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2536
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2537
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2539
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2542
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2543
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2545
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2546
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2547
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2549
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2550
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2551
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2552
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2554
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2560
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2561
formatting in the user reference.
2562
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2564
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
2570
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2573
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2574
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2575
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
2581
:Released: 2009-06-26
2583
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2584
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2585
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2588
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2589
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2590
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2592
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2593
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2598
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2599
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2601
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2602
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2603
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2605
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2606
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2607
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2608
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2609
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2610
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2611
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2613
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2614
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2615
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2617
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2618
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2619
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2621
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2622
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2623
that. (Robert Collins)
2625
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2626
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2627
repository. (Robert Collins)
2629
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2630
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2631
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2632
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
2642
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
2643
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
2644
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
2645
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
2647
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
2648
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
2649
bug fixes and improvements.
2652
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
2653
*********************************
2655
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
2656
2a can work correctly.
2657
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
2659
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2660
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2661
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2664
Compatibility Breaks
2665
********************
2667
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
2668
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
2669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
2675
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2676
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2677
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2678
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2679
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2680
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2683
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2684
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2685
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2686
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2688
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2689
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2691
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2692
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2694
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2695
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2696
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2698
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2699
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
2705
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2706
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2707
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2709
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2710
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2711
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2712
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2713
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2715
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2716
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2717
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2718
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2720
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2721
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
2727
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
2728
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
2729
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
2730
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2736
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
2737
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
2739
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
2740
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
2742
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2743
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2744
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
2746
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2747
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2749
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2750
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2751
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2753
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2754
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
2755
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
2756
(John Arbash Meinel)
2758
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
2759
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
2761
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
2762
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
2764
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2765
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2767
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2768
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2769
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2770
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2771
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
2772
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
2774
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
2776
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
2777
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
2779
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
2780
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
2782
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
2783
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
2784
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
2785
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
2786
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
2788
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2789
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2790
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2791
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
2796
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
2797
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
2798
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
2803
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
2805
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
2806
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
2807
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2809
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
2810
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
2811
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
2813
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
2814
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2816
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
2817
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
2822
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
2823
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2828
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
2829
(Martin Pool, #386180)
2831
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
2833
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2835
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
2840
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
2844
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
2845
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
2846
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
2847
revisions introduce the exact same line.
2849
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2

*****************************
2852
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.

(Alexander Belchenko)
2855
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
2856
*********************************
2858
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2859
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2860
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2861

* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
2872
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
2873
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
2874
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
2879
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2880
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2883
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
2884
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
2885
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
2886
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2888
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
2889
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
2890
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
2891
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
2893
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
2894
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
2897
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
2898
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
2899
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2904
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
2905
server. (Jonathan Lange)
2907
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
2908
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
2910
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
2911
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
2912
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
2914
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
2919
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
2920
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
2922
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
2924
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
2925
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
2927
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
2928
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
2930
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
2931
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
2933
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
2934
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
2935
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
2936
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
2938
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
2939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
2941
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2942
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2944
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
2945
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
2947
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
2948
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
2950
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
2951
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
2953
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
2954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
2956
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
2957
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2959
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2960
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2961
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2962
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2963
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2964
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2965
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2966
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2967
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2968
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2969
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2970
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2971
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2972
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
2974
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
2975
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
2976
(Robert Collins, #368921)
2978
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
2979
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
2987
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
2988
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
2989
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
2991
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
2992
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
2993
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
2994
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
2995
(Alexander Belchenko)
3000
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3001
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3002
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3004
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3005
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3008
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3009
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3010
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3011
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3012
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3014
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3015
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3016
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3018
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3019
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3020
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3021
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3023
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3024
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3025
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3027
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3028
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3030
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3031
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3032
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3033
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3035
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3036
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3037
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3039
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3040
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3042
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3043
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3044
branches. (Robert Collins)
3046
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3047
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3049
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3054
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3055
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

3105
Compatibility Breaks
3106
********************
3108
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3109
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3110
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3111
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3112
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3114
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3115
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3116
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3118
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3119
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3120
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3121
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3122
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3127
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3128
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3129
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3130
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3131
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3134
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3137
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3138
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3140
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3141
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3142
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3143
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3144
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3146
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3147
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3149
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3152
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3153
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3154
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3155
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3158
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3159
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3160
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3161
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3162
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3164
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3165
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3168
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3174
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3175
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3176
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3178
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3179
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3180
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3181
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3182
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3184
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3185
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3188
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3189
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3190
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3192
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3195
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3198
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3199
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3201
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3202
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3204
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3205
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3207
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3208
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3211
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3212
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3213
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3215
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3216
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3217
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3220
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3221
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3222
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3223
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3225
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3226
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3227
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3228
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3229
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3230
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3231
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3232
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3233
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3235
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3241
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3242
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3243
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3244
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3245
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3246
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3247
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3249
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3250
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3252
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3253
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3254
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3255
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3257
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3258
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3260
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3262
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3265
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3266
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3267
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3269
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3270
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3272
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3273
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3275
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3276
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3277
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3279
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3280
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3281
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3282
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3284
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3286
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3289
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3290
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3291
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3292
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3293
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3295
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3296
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3297
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3298
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3299
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3300
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3301
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3303
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3304
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3306
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3307
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3310
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3311
(James Westby, #341558)
3313
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3314
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3316
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3317
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
3322
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3324
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3326
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
3327
(James Westby, #336998)
3332
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3335
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3336
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3339
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3340
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3343
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3344
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3345
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3347
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3348
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3349
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3351
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3352
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3353
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3354
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3357
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3358
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3361
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3364
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3365
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3367
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3368
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3369
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3370
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3372
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3373
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3374
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3379
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3380
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3381
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3382
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3383
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3385
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3386
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3388
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3389
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3390
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3391
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3397
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3398
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3400
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3401
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3403
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3404
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3405
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3407
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3408
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3409
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3410
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3412
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3413
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3414
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3415
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3417
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3418
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3419
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3421
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3422
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3423
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3425
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3426
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3427
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3429
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3430
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3433
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3434
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3435
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3437
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3438
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3440
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3441
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3442
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3444
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3445
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3448
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3449
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3450
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3452
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3453
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3454
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3455
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3456
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3458
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3459
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3460
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3461
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3463
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3464
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3465
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3466
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3468
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3469
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3470
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3472
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3473
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3476
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3477
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3478
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3480
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3481
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3482
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3483
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3484
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3486
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3487
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3488
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3491
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3492
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3493
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3494
desired. (Robert Collins)
3496
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3497
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3498
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3499
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3501
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3502
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3503
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3520
*****************************
3522
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3523
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3524
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3525
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3526
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3527
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3533
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
3534
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
3535
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3537
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
3538
********************************
3540
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
3541
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
3542
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
3547
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
3548
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
3550
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
3551
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3553
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3554
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3556
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3558
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3559
*********************************
3561
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3562
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3563
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3565
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3566
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3568
Compatibility Breaks
3569
********************
3571
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3572
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3573
command may need to be adjusted.
3574
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3579
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3580
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3581
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3583
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3586
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3587
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3588
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3591
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3592
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3594
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3595
(John Arbash Meinel)
3597
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3598
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3600
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3602
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3603
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3606
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3612
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3613
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3614
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3615
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3616
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3617
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3618
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3619
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3622
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3623
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3625
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3626
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3627
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3629
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3630
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3632
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3633
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3634
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3637
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3638
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3639
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3641
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3642
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3643
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3644
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3646
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3649
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3650
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3652
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3653
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3655
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3656
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3657
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3659
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3664
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3665
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3667
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3668
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3669
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3671
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3672
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3675
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3676
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3678
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3679
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3682
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3683
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3684
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3686
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3687
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3689
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3690
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3692
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3693
(James Westby, #174539)
3695
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3696
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3698
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3699
error branching from old repositories.
3700
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3702
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3703
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3705
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3706
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3707
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3708
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3710
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3711
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3714
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3715
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3717
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3718
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3720
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3721
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3722
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3724
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3725
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
3727
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
3728
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
3733
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3734
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3735
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3738
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3739
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3741
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
3742
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
3747
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3748
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3749
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3750
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3751
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3753
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3754
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3756
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3757
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3758
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3759
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3760
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3761
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3763
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3764
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3766
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3767
"author" argument being deprecated.
3769
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3771
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
3772
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
3773
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
3774
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
3776
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
3777
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
3778
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
3780
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
3781
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
3782
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
3784
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
3785
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
3787
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
3788
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
3789
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
3790
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
3795
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
3796
free of virtual file system methods.
3797
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3799
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
3800
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
3801
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
3803
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
3804
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
3805
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
3806
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
3807
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
3808
(Robert Collins, #334187)
3810
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
3812
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
3813
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
3815
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
3816
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
3817
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
3818
stream the operation.
3819
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3821
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
3822
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
3824
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
3825
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
3826
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
3827
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
3828
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3830
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
3831
branch object. (Robert Collins)
3833
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
3834
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
3835
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
3837
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
3838
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
3841
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
3844
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
3845
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
3846
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3848
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
3849
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
3850
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3852
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
3853
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
3854
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3856
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
3857
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
3858
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3860
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
3861
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
3862
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
3863
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
3864
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
3866
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
3867
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
3868
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
3869
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
3870
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
3871
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
3873
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
3874
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
3875
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
3876
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
3877
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3879
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
3880
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3882
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
3883
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
3885
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
3886
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
3887
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
3888
to access private data in record to obtain content more
3889
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3891
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
3892
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

3903
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
3904
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
3905
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
3906
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
3907
by showing the rate of network IO.

Changes from RC1 to Final
3910
*************************
3912
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
3913
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
3915
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
3916
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3918
Compatibility Breaks
3919
********************
3921
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
3922
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
3923
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
3924
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
3926
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
3927
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
3928
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
3931
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
3932
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
3933
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
3934
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3936
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
3937
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
3938
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
3941
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3946
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3947
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3948
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3951
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3952
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3953
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3955
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3956
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3957
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3958
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3959
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3960
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3961
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3962
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3963
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3969
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3972
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3975
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3976
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3977
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3979
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3980
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3981
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3982
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3983
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3985
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3986
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3988
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3989
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3990
level for better precision.
3993
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3994
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3996
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3997
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3998
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4000
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4001
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4002
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4005
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4006
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4007
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4012
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4014
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4016
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4017
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4018
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4020
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4021
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4022
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4023
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4024
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4025
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4027
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4028
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4030
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4031
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4033
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4034
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4035
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4037
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4038
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4039
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4042
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4043
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4045
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4046
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4047
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4048
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4050
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4051
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4053
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4055
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
4060
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4065
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4066
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4069
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4070
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4072
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4073
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4075
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4076
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4078
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4079
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4080
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4081
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4083
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4084
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4085
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4090
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4091
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4092
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4093
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4094
compile buffers, are such an example).
4097
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4098
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4101
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4102
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4103
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4106
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4107
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4109
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4110
formatters to retrict the output.
4117
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4118
:Released: 2009-01-19
4120
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4121
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4122
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4123
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4124
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4126
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4127
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4130
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4131
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4136
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4139
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
4140
(John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4148
:Released: 2009-01-09
4153
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4154
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4159
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4160
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4162
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4163
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4164
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4165
implement other plugins.
4168
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4174
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4175
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4177
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4178
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4180
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4181
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4182
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4183
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4186
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4187
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4188
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4189
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4190
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4192
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4193
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4194
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4195
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4196
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4201
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4202
control directory. (#139691)
4204
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4205
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4207
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4208
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4210
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4211
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4212
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4214
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4215
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4217
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4218
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4219
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4221
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4222
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4224
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4227
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4228
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4229
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4231
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4232
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4234
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4235
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4236
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4238
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4239
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4240
in the appropriate sections.
4241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4243
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4244
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4245
(John Arbash meinel)
4247
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4250
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4253
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4254
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4256
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4257
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4258
work better with how it splits its requests.
4259
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4261
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4262
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4263
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4265
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4268
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4270
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4273
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4279
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4280
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4281
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4287
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4288
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4289
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4290
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4292
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4293
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4295
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4296
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4297
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4298
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4300
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4301
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4302
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4303
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4308
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4309
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4310
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4312
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4313
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4314
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4315
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4317
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4318
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4319
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
4325
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
4326
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4327
(John Arbash Meinel)
4329
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4330
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4331
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4332
(John Arbash Meinel)
4334
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4335
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4336
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4337
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4339
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4340
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4341
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4343
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4344
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4345
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4346
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4348
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4349
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4350
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4351
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4352
(John Arbash Meinel)
4354
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4355
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4357
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4358
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4359
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4361
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4362
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4363
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4364
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4366
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4367
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4368
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4369
(John Arbash Meinel)
4371
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4372
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4373
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4374
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4375
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4376
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4377
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4379
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4380
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
4387
:Released: 2008-12-05
4389
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4390
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4391
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4392
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4395
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
4400
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
4401
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
4402
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4403
(Martin Pool, #303856)
4405
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4406
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4407
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4408
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4409
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
4415
:Released: 2008-11-28
4417
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4418
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4419
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4420
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4421
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
4426
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
4427
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4429
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
4435
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4436
history just to set the last revision info.
4437
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4439
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4440
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4441
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4442
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4444
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4445
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4446
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4447
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4448
(John Arbash Meinel)
4450
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4451
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4453
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4454
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4455
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4456
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4457
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4459
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4460
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4461
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4462
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
4467
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4468
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4470
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4471
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4473
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4474
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4475
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4476
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4478
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4479
starting with a dotted revno.
4480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4482
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4483
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4484
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4486
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4487
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4488
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4490
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4491
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4492
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4494
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4495
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4496
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4497
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4499
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4500
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4501
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4503
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4504
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4509
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4510
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4511
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4512
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4514
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4515
have changed incompatibly.
4517
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4518
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4519
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4520
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4521
don't need to change.
4523
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
4524
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
4529
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
4530
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
4532
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4541
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4542
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4543
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4544
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4545
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4550
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4551
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4553
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4555
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
4556
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
4557
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
4563
:Released: 2008-10-31
4568
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4569
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4571
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4572
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4573
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4574
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4579
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4580
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4581
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4582
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4583
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4584
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4586
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4587
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4589
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4590
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4591
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4593
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4594
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4595
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4598
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4599
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4601
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4602
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4604
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4605
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4607
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4608
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4609
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4610
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4611
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4612
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4613
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4614
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4615
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4616
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4621
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4622
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4624
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4625
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4627
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4628
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4629
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4631
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4632
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4633
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4635
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4636
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4637
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4639
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4640
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4641
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4642
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4643
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4644
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4646
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4647
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4649
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4650
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4652
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4653
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4654
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4655
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4656
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4658
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4659
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4660
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4661
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4666
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
4671
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
4676
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
4677
configuration of authetication credentials.

:Released: 2008-10-16
4685
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4686
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4687
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
4688
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
4689
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
4694
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
4695
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
4700
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
4701
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
4707
:Released: 2008-10-07
4712
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4713
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4714
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4715
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4716
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4718
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4719
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4721
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4722
server. (Marius Kruger)
4724
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4725
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4726
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4727
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4728
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4729
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
4734
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
4735
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
4736
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
4738
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
4743
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4744
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4745
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4746
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4748
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4749
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4752
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4753
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4756
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
4759
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
4761
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4762
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4764
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4765
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4767
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4768
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4769
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4770
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4771
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
4772
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
4773
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
4774
operations. (Robert Collins)
4776
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
4778
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
4779
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
4780
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
4785
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
4786
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
4787
(Martin Pool, #279381)
4789
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4790
repository now preserves the repository format.
4791
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4793
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
4794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
4796
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
4797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
4799
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
4801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
4803
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4806
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
4807
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
4808
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
4810
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
4811
is in a different repository than the current one.
4812
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
4814
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
4815
(David Futcher, #242106)
4817
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
4818
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4820
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
4821
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
4822
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
4823
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
4825
* Trivial documentation fix.
4826
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
4828
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4829
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4830
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4831
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4836
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
4841
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
4842
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
4843
to use. (Robert Collins)
4845
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
4846
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
4847
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
4849
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
4850
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
4851
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
4852
they want. (Robert Collins)
4857
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
4858
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
4859
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
4861
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
4862
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
4865
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
4868
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
4869
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
4871
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
4877
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
4878
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
4880
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
4881
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
4882
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
4884
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
4885
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
4886
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
4888
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
4889
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4891
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
4892
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
4894
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
4895
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
4897
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
4898
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
4899
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
4900
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
4908

No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
4916
:Released: 2008-09-24
4918
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
4919
file paths when we encounter complex history.
4924
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
4925
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
4926
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
4927
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
4928
(John Arbash Meinel)
4934
:Released: 2008-09-23
4936
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
4937
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
4938
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
4939
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
4940
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
4941
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
4946
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
4947
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
4948
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
4954
:Released: 2008-09-17
4956
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
4957
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
4958
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
4959
connect to the stacked-on location.
4964
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4965
repository now preserves the repository format.
4966
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4968
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
4969
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
4971
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
4974
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4981
:Released: 2008-09-09
4983
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
4984
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
4985
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
4986
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
4987
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
4988
it in a future repository format.
4994
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
4997
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
4998
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
4999
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
5001
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
5002
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
5003
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
5008
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
5009
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
5011
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
5016
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
5017
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
5020
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
5021
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5023
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5024
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5027
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5028
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5029
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5030
(John Arbash Meinel)
5032
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5033
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5035
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5036
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5037
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5038
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5039
(John Arbash Meinel)
5041
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5042
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5043
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5044
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5045
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5046
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5047
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5048
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5049
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5050
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5055
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
5056
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
5058
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5059
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5060
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5062
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5063
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5064
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5066
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5067
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5068
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5069
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5070
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5071
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5073
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5074
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5076
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5077
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5079
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5080
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5081
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5082
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5083
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5084
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5086
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5087
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5089
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5090
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5092
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5093
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5094
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5095
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5097
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5098
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5100
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5101
assuming the host name is ascii.
5102
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5104
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5105
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5110
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5115
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5117
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5118
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5119
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5122
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5123
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5125
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5126
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5128
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5129
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5134
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5135
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5136
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5137
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5139
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5143
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5144
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5145
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5147
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5153
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5154
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5157
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5158
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5159
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5160
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5161
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5163
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5164
is unknown in both source and target.
5165
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5167
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5168
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5169
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5170
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5172
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5173
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
5174
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
5175
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

5183
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5184
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
5185
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5191
:Released: 2008-09-03
5196
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5197
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
5198
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
5199
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
5205
:Released: 2008-08-29
5207
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5208
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5209
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5210
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5211
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5212
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5213
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5214
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5215
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5216
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5217
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5218
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5223
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5224
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5225
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5226
start of the string (causing more copies).
5227
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5228
especially for projects with large files.
5229
(John Arbash Meinel)
5231
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5232
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5233
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5234
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5235
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5237
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5238
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5239
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5240
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5241
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

5250
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5251
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5252
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5253
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5254
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5255
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5256
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5257
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5258
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5264
:Released: 2008-08-19
5269
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5270
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5271
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5272
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5273
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5279
:Released: 2008-08-18
5284
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5285
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5286
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
5292
:Released: 2008-08-14
5297
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
5298
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
5304
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
5305
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
5306
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
5312
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5313
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5314
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5316
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5317
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5318
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5319
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5320
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5321
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5322
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
5328
:Released: 2008-08-13
5330
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
5336
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
5337
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
5339
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
5340
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5343
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5344
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5345
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5346
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5347
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5349
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5350
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5352
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5353
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5355
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5356
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5358
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5359
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5360
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5361
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5362
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5363
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
5369
:Released: 2008-08-06
5371
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5372
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5373
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5374
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5375
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5380
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5381
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5382
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5387
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5388
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5390
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5391
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5393
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5394
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5395
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5397
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
5400
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
5401
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
5402
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
5403
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
5404
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
5405
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
5406
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5408
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
5409
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
5410
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
5415
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
5416
physical repository boundaries.
5417
(Martin Pool, #252428)
5419
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
5420
(Martin Pool, #206258)
5422
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
5423
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
5426
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
5429
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
5430
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
5431
that Python is running from.
5432
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
5434
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
5435
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
5436
(Robert Collins, #150438)
5438
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
5439
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
5441
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
5442
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
5443
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
5445
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
5446
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
5448
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
5449
(James Westby, #248448)
5454
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
5455
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
5456
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
5459
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
5460
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
5463
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
5464
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
5465
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5466
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
5467
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
5468
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
5471
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
5472
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5474
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
5475
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5476
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
5477
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
5478
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
5479
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5484
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5485
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5486
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5487
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5488
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5489
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5491
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5492
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5493
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5495
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5498
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5499
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5501
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
5508
:Released: 2008-07-17
5510
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5511
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5512
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5513
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5519
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5520
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5521
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5523
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5524
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5525
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5526
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5527
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5530
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5532
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5533
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5534
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5540
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5541
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5544
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5545
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5546
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5547
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5549
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5550
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5551
(Christophe Troestler)
5553
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5554
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5556
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5557
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5558
faster. The new request method name is
5559
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5564
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5565
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5566
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5567
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5568
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5570
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5571
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5573
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5574
requires a branch to be present.
5575
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5577
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5579
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5581
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5582
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5583
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5584
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5586
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5587
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5589
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5591
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5593
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5594
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5595
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5596
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5597
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5599
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5600
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5602
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5603
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5605
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5607
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5609
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5610
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5612
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
5613
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
5618
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
5621
* Updated developer documentation.
5627
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5628
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5630
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5631
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5632
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5633
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5638
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5639
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5640
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5641
Repository docstring for more details.
5644
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5645
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5646
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5648
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5649
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5652
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5653
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5654
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5655
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
5660
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5661
(Alexander Belchenko)
5663
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5664
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5665
containing a given location.
5668
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5669
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5670
storage. (Robert Collins)
5672
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5675
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
5676
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
5683
:Released: 2008-06-10
5685
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
5686
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
5687
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
5693
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5694
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5695
reading from the repository.)
5696
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5698
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5699
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5701
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5702
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5705
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5706
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5707
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
5709
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
5710
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
5711
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
5713
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
5714
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
5716
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
5717
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
5718
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
5719
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
5724
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
5726
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
5727
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
5728
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
5731
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
5732
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
5737
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5742
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5743
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5748
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5749
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5750
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5751
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5752
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5754
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
5755
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
5760
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
5761
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
5763
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
5764
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
5769
:Released: 2008-06-02
5771
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
5772
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
5773
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
5774
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
5775
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
5776
and future extensions.
5779
Notes When Upgrading
5780
********************
5782
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
5783
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
5784
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
5785
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
5786
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
5787
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
5788
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
5789
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
5794
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
5795
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
5796
(John Arbash Meinel)
5801
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
5802
load. (James Westby)
5807
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
5808
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
5809
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
5810
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5812
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
5813
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
5814
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
5816
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
5817
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
5819
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
5820
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
5821
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
5823
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
5824
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
5825
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
5826
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
5827
step closer to not using full revision history.
5828
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
5833
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
5834
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
5836
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5837
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5839
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
5840
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
5842
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
5843
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
5844
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
5845
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
5847
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
5848
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
5849
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
5850
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
5852
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
5853
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
5854
in use by another process.
5857
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
5858
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
5859
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
5860
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
5862
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
5863
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
5865
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
5866
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
5867
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
5869
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
5870
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
5871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
5873
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
5875
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
5877
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
5878
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
5880
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
5881
under vim on Mac OS X.
5882
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5884
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
5885
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
5890
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
5891
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
5893
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5894
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5897
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
5898
and about use of Python reprs.
5899
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
5901
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
5906
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
5909
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5910
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5912
* New helper function for splitting test suites
5913
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
5918
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
5919
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
5920
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
5921
(John Arbash Meinel)
5926
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
5927
instead. (Martin Pool)
5929
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
5930
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
5931
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
5932
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
5934
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
5935
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
5936
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
5937
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
5938
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
5940
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
5941
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
5942
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
5943
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
5944
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
5945
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
5947
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
5948
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
5951
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
5952
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
5955
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
5956
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
5957
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
5958
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
5960
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
5961
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
5962
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5964
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
5965
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
5966
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
5967
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
5968
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
5971
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
5972
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
5973
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
5974
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
5977
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5978
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5979
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5980
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5981
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5983
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
5990
:Released: 2008-05-16
5992
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
5993
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
5994
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
5999
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
6000
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
6001
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6006
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6007
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6014
:Released: 2008-05-09
6019
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
6020
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
6021
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
6022
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
6027
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
6028
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
6030
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
6031
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
6033
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
6039
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6042
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6043
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6045
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6046
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6047
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6049
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6050
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6051
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6053
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
6056
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
6057
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
6059
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
6060
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6062
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6063
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6065
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6066
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6068
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6069
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6072
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6073
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6075
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6076
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6078
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6079
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6080
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6081
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6083
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6084
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6087
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6088
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6089
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6091
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6092
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6093
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6094
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6095
every revision each side had in common.
6096
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6098
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6099
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6101
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6102
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6103
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6104
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6109
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6110
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6111
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6112
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6114
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6116
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6118
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
6119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
6124
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6125
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6126
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6128
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6129
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6130
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6131
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6133
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6134
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6136
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6137
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6138
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6139
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6141
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6142
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6143
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6144
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6149
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6150
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6151
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6153
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6155
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6156
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6158
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6159
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6161
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6162
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6167
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6168
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6169
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6171
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6172
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6173
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6176
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6177
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6180
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
6187
:Released: 2008-04-28
6189
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6190
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6191
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6192
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6193
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6194
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6195
and faster performance.
6200
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6201
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6202
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6215
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6216
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6218
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6219
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6221
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6222
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6224
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6225
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6226
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6227

6240
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6242
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6243
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6245
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6246
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6247
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6249
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6250
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6251
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6252
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6253
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6254
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6257
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6258
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6259
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6260
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6265
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6267
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6268
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6269
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6271
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6272
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6273
See the User Reference for signature details.
6274
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6276
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6277
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6282
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6283
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6284
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6285
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6287
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6288
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6290
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6291
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6292
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6295
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6298
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6299
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6300
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6302
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6305
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6306
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6308
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6309
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6311
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6312
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6313
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6315
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6316
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6317
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6318
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6319
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6321
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6322
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6324
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6325
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6330
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6331
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6332
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6333
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6334
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6335
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6337
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6338
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6340
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6341
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.

* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6345
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6347
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6348
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6349
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6350
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6352
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6353
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6354
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6355
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6356
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6358
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6360
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6361
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6363
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6365
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6366
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6368
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
6369
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
6374
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
6376
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6378
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6380
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
6385
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6386
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6387
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6389
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6390
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6391
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6392
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6394
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6395
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6396
release. (James Westby)
6398
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6401
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6403
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6404
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6406
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6407
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6409
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6410
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6412
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6413
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6414
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6416
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6417
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6418
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6419
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6421
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6422
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6423
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6424
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6426
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6427
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6428
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6429
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6430
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6431
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6433
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6434
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6435
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
6437
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
6438
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6440
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
6441
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
6444
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
6445
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
6447
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
6448
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
6450
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
6451
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
6453
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6454
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6455
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6457
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6458
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6459
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6460
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6461
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6462
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
6467
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6468
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6469
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6470
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6472
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6473
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6474
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6475
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6479
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
6480
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6483
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6484
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
6486
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
6488
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6489
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
6490
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
6495
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6497
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
6500
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6501
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6502
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6503
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6504
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6505
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6507
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6508
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6510
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6511
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6512
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6513
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6515
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6516
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6518
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
6519
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

No changes from 1.3.1rc1.

Notes When Upgrading
6569
********************
6571
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
6572
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
6577
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6578
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6579
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6580
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6583
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6584
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6585
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6586
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6587
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6588
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6590
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6591
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6592
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
6593
(Alexander Belchenko)
6595
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6597
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
6598
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
6603
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
6604
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
6606
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
6607
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
6613
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6615
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6617
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6618
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6619
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6621
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6622
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6624
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6625
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6627
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6628
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6629
(Alexander Belchenko)
6631
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6632
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6633
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6634
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6636
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6639
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6640
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6641
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6642
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6643
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6648
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
6649
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
6650
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6651
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
6653
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
6654
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
6656
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
6657
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
6659
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
6660
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
6661
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
6663
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
6664
(#198793, John Ferlito)
6666
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
6669
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
6670
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
6672
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
6674
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
6676
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
6677
symlinks (James Henstridge)
6679
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
6680
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
6682
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
6683
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
6685
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
6686
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
6688
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
6689
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
6691
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
6692
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
6697
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
6698
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6703
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
6704
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
6705
(Alexander Belchenko)
6710
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
6712
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
6713
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
6719
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
6720
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
6721
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
6723
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
6724
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
6725
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
6726
(Alexander Belchenko)
6728
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
6729
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
6730
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
6731
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
6733
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
6734
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
6735
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
6738
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
6739
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
6740
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
6742
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
6743
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
6744
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
6746
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
6747
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
6748
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
6749
format. (Robert Collins)
6755

6760
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

6768
Notes When Upgrading
6769
********************
6771
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
6772
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
6773
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
6774
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
6775
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
6781
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
6782
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
6784
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
6785
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
6786
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
6788
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
6789
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
6790
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
6791
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
6792
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
6793
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
6799
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
6800
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6802
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
6803
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
6804
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
6807
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
6808
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
6809
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
6810
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
6811
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
6813
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
6814
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
6815
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
6816
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
6817
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
6818
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
6819
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
6820
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
6825
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
6826
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
6828
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
6829
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6831
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
6832
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6834
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
6835
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
6836
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
6838
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
6839
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
6840
(John Arbash Meinel)
6845
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
6846
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
6848
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
6849
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
6851
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
6852
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
6854
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
6855
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
6856
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
6858
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
6859
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
6860
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
6862
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
6863
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
6865
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
6866
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
6867
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
6868
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
6869
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
6871
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6873
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
6874
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
6877
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
6878
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
6880
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
6881
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
6883
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
6884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
6886
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
6887
more characters which should be considered valid.
6888
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
6890
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
6891
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
6893
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
6894
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
6899
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
6900
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
6902
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
6903
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
6909
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
6910
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
6916
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
6917
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
6918
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
6920
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
6921
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
6922
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
6924
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
6925
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
6926
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
6927
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
6929
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
6931
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
6932
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
6933
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
6934
server. (Robert Collins)
6936
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
6937
operate. (Robert Collins)
6939
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
6940
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
6941
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
6943
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
6944
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
6945
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
6946
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
6948
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
6949
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
6951
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
6952
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
6953
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
6955
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
6956
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
6958
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
6959
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
6961
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6962
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
6963
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
6964
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

6982
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6983
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6984
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
6985
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6987
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
6988
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
6989
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
6990
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
6995
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
6998
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
7001
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
7002
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
7007
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7010
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7011
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7012
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7014
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7016
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7017
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7018
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7019
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7020
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7022
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7023
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7024
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7026
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
7027
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
7029
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
7032
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
7034
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
7036
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
7039
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
7040
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
7045
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
7046
(Martin Pool, #180208)
7048
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
7049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
7051
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
7054
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
7055
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
7057
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
7058
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
7060
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
7061
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7063
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
7064
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
7066
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
7067
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
7068
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
7070
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
7071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
7073
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
7074
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
7077
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
7079
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
7080
user:pass embedded in the urls.
7081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
7083
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
7084
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
7086
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
7089
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
7092
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
7093
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7095
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7098
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7099
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7102
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7103
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7109
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7112
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7113
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7114
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7115
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7116
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7117
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7119
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
7124
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
7127
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
7128
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7130
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7132
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7133
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7134
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7137
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7138
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7140
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7149
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7150
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7151
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7153
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7154
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7157
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7158
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7160
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7161
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7163
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7164
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7166
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7167
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7168
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7170
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7171
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7173
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7174
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7176
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7177
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7180
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7181
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7183
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7184
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
7190
:Released: 2007-12-14
7195
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7197
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
7200
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
7202
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
7203
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
7210
:Released: 2007-12-11
7215
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
7216
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
7217
by mail to the mailing list.
7223
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7225
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7226
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7227
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7228
feedback but also incur more latency.
7229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
7231
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7232
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7237
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7239
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7245
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
7246
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
7247
wraps its output in a StringIO.
7254
:Released: 2007-12-07
7259
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7261
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
7264
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
7267
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
7268
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
7269
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
7270
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7272
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
7275
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
7276
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
7278
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
7279
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
7280
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7282
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7283
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7284
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7285
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7286
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7287
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7288
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7289
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7290
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
7295
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
7298
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
7303
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
7304
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
7306
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
7308
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
7310
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
7311
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
7313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
7315
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
7316
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
7318
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
7319
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
7324
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
7325
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
7334
********************
7336
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7337
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7338
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7339
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7341
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7342
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7344
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7345
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7347
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7348
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7349
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7350
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7351
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7352
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7353
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7354
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7355
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7356
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7357
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7358
from any tree without problems.
7359
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
7364
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
7365
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
7366
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
7368
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
7369
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7375
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7376
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7377
supported transports.
7380
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7381
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7382
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7384
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7385
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7387
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7388
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7389
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7390
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7392
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7393
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7398
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7399
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7400
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7401
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7403
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7404
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7405
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7406
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7408
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7409
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7411
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7412
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7414
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7415
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
7417
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
7418
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
7424
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
7427
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7428
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7431
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7432
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7433
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7434
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
7436
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
7437
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
7438
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
7439
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
7447
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
7448
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
7450
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
7451
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
7453
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
7454
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
7456
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
7457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
7459
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
7460
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
7462
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
7463
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
7465
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
7466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
7468
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
7471
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
7472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
7474
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
7475
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
7476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
7478
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
7479
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
7481
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
7482
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7484
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7485
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7487
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7488
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7490
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7491
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7492
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7493
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7495
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7497
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7498
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7499
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7501
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7502
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7504
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7506
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7508
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7509
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7511
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7512
specify a port in urls.
7513
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7515
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7516
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7518
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7519
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7521
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7522
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
7524
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
7525
(Robert Collins, #153789)
7527
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
7528
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
7529
(Robert Collins, #165304).
7531
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
7533
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
7534
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
7536
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
7539
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
7540
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
7542
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
7543
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
7545
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
7546
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
7547
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7549
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7550
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7552
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7553
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7554
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7555
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7557
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7558
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7560
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7561
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7562
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7564
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7565
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7567
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
7568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
7570
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
7571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
7576
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7577
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7579
* The return value of
7580
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7581
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7582
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7583
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7585
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7588
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7589
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7596
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
7597
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7598
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7601
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7602
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
7604
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
7610
:Released: 2007-11-05
7615
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
7621
:Released: 2007-10-29
7626
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7627
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7629
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7630
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7631
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7632
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7633
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7634
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7635
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7636
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7637
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7638
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7639
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7640
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
7646
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7647
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7648
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7649
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7650
commands. (Robert Collins)
7652
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7653
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7654
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7657
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7659
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7660
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7662
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7663
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7666
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7667
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7668
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7673
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7674
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7676
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7677
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7679
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7680
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7681
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7682
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7684
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7687
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7688
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7689
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7690
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7692
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7693
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7695
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7696
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7698
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7699
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7701
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7702
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
7707
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
7708
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
7710
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
7711
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
7713
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
7714
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
7716
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
7717
(Martin Pool, #63894)
7719
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
7720
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
7725
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
7727
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
7733
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
7734
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
7735
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
7737
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
7738
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
7740
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
7741
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
7743
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7744
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7745
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7746
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7748
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7749
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7750
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7751
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7752
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7754
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
7755
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
7757
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
7759
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7761
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
7762
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
7764
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
7765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
7767
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
7768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
7770
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
7771
contains a symbolic link.
7772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
7774
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
7775
(James Westby, #140615)
7777
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
7778
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
7779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
7781
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
7782
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
7783
(Martin Pool, #144633)
7785
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7787
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
7788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
7790
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
7792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
7794
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
7795
directory to detect leaking tests.
7796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
7798
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
7799
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
7800
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
7802
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
7805
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
7806
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
7808
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
7814
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
7815
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
7817
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
7818
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
7819
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
7821
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
7822
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
7823
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
7825
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
7826
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
7828
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
7829
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
7831
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
7832
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
7835
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
7836
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
7838
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
7839
class that needs it.
7842
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
7843
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
7845
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
7846
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
7847
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
7849
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
7850
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
7851
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
7854
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
7855
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
7856
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
7857
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
7863
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
7864
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
7865
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
7867
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
7868
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
7869
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
7870
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
7872
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
7873
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
7876
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
7877
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
7878
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
7880
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
7881
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
7882
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
7884
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
7885
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
7887
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
7888
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
7889
to complete. (Robert Collins)
7891
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
7892
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
7894
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
7895
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
7896
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
7898
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
7899
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
7900
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
7902
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
7903
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
7904
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
7905
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
7907
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
7908
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
7909
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
7910
returned. (Robert Collins)
7912
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
7913
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
7915
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
7916
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
7917
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
7918
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
7921
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
7922
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
7927
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
7928
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
7930
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
7931
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
7932
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
7933
makes this behavior available to other users.
7936
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
7937
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
7943
:Released: 2007-09-26
7948
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7949
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7950
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7952
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7954
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
7955
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
7956
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
7957
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
7959
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
7960
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
7967
:Released: 2007-09-11
7969
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
7970
in bzrlib/remote.py.
7976
:Released: 2007-09-11
7981
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7982
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7983
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7984
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7987
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7988
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7989
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7995
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7996
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7997
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8000
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8001
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8002
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8004
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8005
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8006
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8008
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8009
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8011
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8012
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8013
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8014
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8015
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8016
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8017
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8018
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8019
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8020
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8022
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8023
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8025
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8026
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8027
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8032
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8033
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8035
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8036
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8037
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8039
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8040
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8042
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8043
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8045
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8048
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8049
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8051
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8052
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8054
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8055
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8057
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8058
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8060
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8062
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8065
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8066
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8067
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8068
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8070
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8072
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8073
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8076
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8077
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8079
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8080
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8083
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8084
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8086
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8087
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8089
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8090
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8091
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8092
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8093
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8094
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8095
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8097
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8098
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8100
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8101
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8103
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8104
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8106
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8109
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8113
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8114
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8116
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8117
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8118
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8120
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8121
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8122
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8127
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8128
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8130
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8133
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8136
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8137
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8139
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8141
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8142
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8144
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8145
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8147
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8148
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8149
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8150
space). (Robert Collins)
8152
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8153
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8156
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8157
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8159
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8160
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8162
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8163
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8164
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8165
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8167
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8168
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8169
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8172
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8175
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8176
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8177
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8179
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8180
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8181
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8182
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8183
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8188
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8189
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8191
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8192
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8193
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8194
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8195
affected. (Robert Collins)
8197
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8198
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8199
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8202
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8203
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8208
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8209
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8211
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8212
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8214
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8215
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8217
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8220
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8221
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8226
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8227
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8228
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8229
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8231
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8232
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8234
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8235
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8236
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8237
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8239
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8240
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8241
present. (Robert Collins)
8243
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8244
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8245
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8246
API. (Robert Collins)
8248
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8249
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8252
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8253
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8255
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8256
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8257
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8258
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8259
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8260
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8262
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8263
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8264
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8266
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8267
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8268
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8269
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8272
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8275
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8276
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8277
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8278
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8279
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8280
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8281
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8283
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8284
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8285
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8286
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8288
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8289
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8290
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8291
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8292
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8293
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8295
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8296
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8297
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8299
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8300
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8306
:Released: 2007-08-28
8311
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8312
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8313
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8314
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8315
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8316
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
8317
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
8318
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
8324
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8325
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
8326
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
8332
:Released: 2007-08-14
8337
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8338
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8339
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8340
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8341
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8343
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8346
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8350
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8351
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8354
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8355
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8358
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8361
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8362
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8364
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8365
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8367
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8368
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8370
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8371
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8373
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8374
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8376
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8382
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8383
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8385
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8386
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8388
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8389
the repository (Robert Collins)
8391
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8392
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8393
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8394
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8395
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8397
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8398
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8400
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8401
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8402
(John Arbash Meinel)
8404
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8405
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8406
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8408
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8409
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8410
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8411
(John Arbash Meinel)
8413
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8414
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8417
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8418
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8420
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8423
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8425
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8427
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8428
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8430
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8431
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8434
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8435
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8436
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8437
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8439
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8440
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8441
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8443
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8444
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8445
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8447
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8448
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8450
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8451
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8452
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8453
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8454
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8455
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8458
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8459
(Alexander Belchenko)
8461
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8462
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8464
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8465
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8467
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8469
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8470
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8475
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8476
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8477
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8478
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8480
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8482
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8485
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8486
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8487
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8488
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8489
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8490
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8495
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8496
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8497
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8498
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8500
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8501
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8502
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8503
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8504
tests have been refactored too.
8507
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8508
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8509
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8513
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8514
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8515
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8517
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8518
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8519
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8520
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8521
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8522
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8523
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8525
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8526
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8527
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8528
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8529
(John Arbash Meinel)
8531
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8532
functionality for testing.
8534
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8536
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8537
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8539
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8541
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8544
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8545
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8547
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8548
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8549
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8551
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8554
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8555
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8557
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8558
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8559
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8560
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8562
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8563
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8565
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8566
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8567
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8569
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8572
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8573
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8574
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8575
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8576
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8577
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8579
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8580
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8581
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8582
many files. (Robert Collins)
8584
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8585
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8586
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8587
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8592
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8593
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8594
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8596
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8597
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8599
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8600
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8601
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8607
:Released: 2007-07-17
8612
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
8618
:Released: 2007-07-10
8623
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
8624
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
8626
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
8627
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
8628
(James Westby, #122656)
8630
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
8631
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
8633
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
8634
authentication header.
8635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
8637
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
8639
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
8640
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
8642
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
8644
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
8645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
8647
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
8648
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
8649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
8651
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
8652
individually and as part of revision ranges.
8653
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
8655
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
8656
(Martin Pool, #109169)
8658
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
8659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
8661
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
8662
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
8664
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8666
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
8671
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8672
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8673
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8674
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8675
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8676
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8678
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8679
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8680
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8682
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8685
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8686
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8688
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8689
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8691
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8692
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8694
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8695
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8696
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8697
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8698
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8700
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8701
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8703
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8704
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8705
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8707
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
8708
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
8710
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
8712
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
8713
output. (Aaron Bentley)
8715
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
8716
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
8719
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
8722
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
8723
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
8725
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
8726
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
8728
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
8729
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
8731
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
8733
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
8734
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
8736
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
8742
* Testing cleanups -

``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
8749
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8750
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
8751
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8752
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
8753
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
8754
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
8755
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8756
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
8757
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8758
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
8759
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
8762
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8764
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8765
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8766
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
8768
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
8769
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
8771
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
8772
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8774
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
8776
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
8777
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
8778
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
8779
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
8780
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
8781
same location. (Robert Collins)
8786
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
8788
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
8790
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
8792
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
8795
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
8798
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
8799
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
8800
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
8802
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
8804
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
8805
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
8806
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
8808
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
8809
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
8811
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
8812
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
8813
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
8815
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
8816
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
8817
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
8819
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
8820
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
8821
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
8823
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
8824
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
8827
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
8828
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
8830
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
8831
(Alexander Belchenko)
8836
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
8837
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
8838
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
8839
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8841
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
8842
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
8843
testing. (Robert Collins)
8845
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
8846
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
8848
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
8849
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
8850
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
8851
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
8852
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
8853
attribute during the test parameterisation in
8854
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
8856
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
8857
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
8858
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
8859
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
8861
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
8862
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
8864
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
8865
avoid useless cloning.
8866
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
8872
:Released: 2007-06-18
8877
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
8878
(Colin Watson, #120647)
8880
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
8881

Notes When Upgrading
8890
********************
8892
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8893
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
8894
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8895
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
8896
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
8897
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
8898
and unlock() like so::
8900
work_tree.lock_read()
8902
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
8908
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
8909
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
8911
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8912
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
8913
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
8915
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
8916
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
8917
too. (Robert Collins)
8922
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
8923
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
8926
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
8927
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
8929
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
8930
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
8932
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
8933
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
8934
understanding what changes have occurred
8935
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
8937
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
8938
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
8939
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8941
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
8942
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
8943
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
8944
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
8946
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
8952
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
8953
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
8954
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8955
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
8956
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
8958
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
8959
based on split paths, not just string paths.
8960
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
8962
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
8963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
8965
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
8967
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
8969
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
8970
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8972
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8973
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8975
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8976
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8978
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8979
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
8981
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
8982
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
8984
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
8985
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
8986
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
8991
:Released: 2007-05-07
8996
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
8997
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
8998
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
8999
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9000
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
9002
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
9003
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
9004
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
9006
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
9007
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
9012
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
9013
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
9014
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
9016
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
9017
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
9018
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
9019
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
9024
:Released: 2007-04-30
9029
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
9030
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9031
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
9032
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9034
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
9035
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
9036
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
9038
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
9039
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
9041
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
9042
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
9044
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
9045
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
9050
:Released: 2007-04-26
9052
Notes When Upgrading
9053
********************
9055
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9056
it could be recovered again.
9057
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9058
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9059
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9061
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9063
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
9064
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
9069
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9070
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9072
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9073
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9074
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9075
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9077
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9078
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9080
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9081
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9082
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9084
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9085
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9086
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9088
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9089
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9090
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9092
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9093
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9096
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9099
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9100
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9101
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9102
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9104
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9107
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9108
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9109
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9112
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9113
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9115
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9116
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9118
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9119
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9120
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9121
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9124
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9125
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9127
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9128
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9130
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9131
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9132
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9134
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9135
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9136
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9138
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9139
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9140
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9142
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9143
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9144
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9145
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9147
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9148
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9149
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9150
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9152
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9153
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9154
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9155
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9156
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9157
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9158
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9159
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9166
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9167
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9169
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9170
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9171
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9172
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9173
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9175
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9176
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9178
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9179
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9181
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9182
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9184
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9185
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9187
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9188
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9189
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9192
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9193
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9194
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9195
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9196
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9199
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9200
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9201
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9203
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9204
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9207
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9208
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9209
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9212
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9213
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9214
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9215
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9216
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9218
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9219
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9220
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9221
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9223
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9224
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9226
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9227
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9228
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9229
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9230
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9231
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9233
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9234
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9236
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9237
help. (Robert Collins)
9239
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9240
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9242
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9243
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9244
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9245
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9246
(John Arbash Meinel)
9248
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9249
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9250
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9251
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9252
useful. (Robert Collins)
9254
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9260
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9261
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9263
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9264
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9266
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9267
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9268
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9270
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9273
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9274
the file, and does it faster.
9275
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9277
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9278
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9279
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9281
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9282
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9283
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9284
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9286
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9287
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9288
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9289
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9291
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9292
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9294
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9295
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9296
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9297
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9300
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9302
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9303
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9305
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9306
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9308
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9309
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9310
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9311
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9315
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
9316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
9321
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9322
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9323
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9325
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9326
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9328
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9329
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9330
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9331
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9332
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9333
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9334
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9335
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9337
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9338
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9339
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9341
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9342
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9343
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9344
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9345
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9347
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9349
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9350
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9351
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9353
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9354
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
9360
:Released: 2007-04-01
9365
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
9368
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
9369
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9375
:Released: 2007-03-26
9380
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9381
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9387
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9388
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9389
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9390
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9391
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9392
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9393
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9394
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9400
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
9401
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9402
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9404
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9405
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9408
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9409
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9410
(John Arbash Meinel)
9412
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9413
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9414
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9415
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
9416
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
9421
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
9424
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
9425
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
9427
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
9428
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
9430
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
9431
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
9432
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
9434
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
9435
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
9437
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
9438
last-changed-revision for directories. The
9439
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
9440
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
9441
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
9443
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
9444
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
9445
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
9447
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
9456
********************
9458
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
9459
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
9460
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
9465
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
9466
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
9468
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
9469
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
9471
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
9473
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
9474
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
9476
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
9477
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
9482
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9488
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9489
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9490
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9491
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9493
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9494
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9496
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9497
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9499
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9502
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9503
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9509
:Released: 2007-03-07
9514
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9515
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9516
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9517
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9518
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9519
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9521
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9522
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9523
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9524
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9525
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9526
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9528
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9530
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9531
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9532
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9533
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9534
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9535
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9536
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9537
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9542
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9543
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9545
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9546
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9547
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9548
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9550
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9551
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9552
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9553
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9554
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9556
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9559
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9562
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9565
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9566
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
9569
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9572
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9573
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9575
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9576
directory. (Martin Pool)
9578
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9579
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9580
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9581
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9583
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9584
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9585
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9586
in docs/configuration.txt.
9588
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9589
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9592
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9593
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9594
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9595
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9596
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9597
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9599
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9600
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9602
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9603
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9605
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
9611
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9612
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9613
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9614
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9615
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9616
(John Arbash Meinel)
9618
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9619
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9622
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9623
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9624
(John Arbash Meinel)
9626
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9627
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9628
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9629
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9630
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9631
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9633
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9634
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9635
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9637
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9638
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9639
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9640
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9642
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9644
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9645
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9646
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9647
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9649
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9650
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9651
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9652
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9654
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9655
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9656
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9658
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9659
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9660
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9662
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9663
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9664
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9665
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9667
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9668
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9669
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9671
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9672
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9673
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9675
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9676
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9677
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9678
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9679
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9680
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9681
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9682
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9683
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
9684
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
9685
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
9690
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
9691
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
9692
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
9694
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
9697
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
9698
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
9699
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
9700
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
9702
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
9703
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
9706
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
9707
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
9709
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
9711
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
9712
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
9713
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
9715
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
9716
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
9718
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
9719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
9721
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
9722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
9724
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
9725
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
9727
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
9729
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
9730
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
9735
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
9736
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
9742
:Released: 2007-01-23
9747
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
9752
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
9753
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
9754
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
9756
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
9757
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
9758
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
9764
:Released: 2007-01-16
9769
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
9770
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
9771
server, then you can write over the http connection.
9772
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9774
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
9777
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
9778
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
9779
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9781
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
9782
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
9784
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
9787
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
9788
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
9789
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
9790
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
9791
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
9792
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
9794
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
9795
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
9796
should enable you to do::
9798
[/home/user/project]
9799
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
9800
push_location:policy = appendpath
9802
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
9803
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
9806
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
9807
for each file. For example::
9809
$ bzr status --short
9815
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
9816
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
9818
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
9820
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
9821
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
9823
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
9828
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
9829
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
9830
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
9831
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
9833
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
9834
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
9835
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
9837
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
9839
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
9840
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
9841
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
9842
(Alexander Belchenko)
9844
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
9847
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
9848
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
9850
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
9855
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
9856
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
9858
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
9859
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
9860
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
9861
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
9862
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
9864
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
9865
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
9867
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
9868
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
9870
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
9872
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
9874
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
9875
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
9876
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
9877
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
9878
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
9880
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
9881
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
9882
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
9883
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
9885
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils

(Aaron Bentley, #76229)

* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
9889
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
9891
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
9892
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
9916
(Daniel Silverstone)
9918
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
9919
operations are substantially faster.
9920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
9922
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
9923
tree from some other url. For example:
9924
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
9925
(Daniel Silverstone)
9927
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
9928
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
9929
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
9930
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
9932
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
9935
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
9936
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
9937
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
9938
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
9939
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
9940
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
9945
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
9946
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
9949
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9950
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9951
(John Arbash Meinel)
9953
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
9954
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
9955
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
9956
(John Arbash Meinel)
9958
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
9959
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
9961
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
9962
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9964
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
9965
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
9971
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
9972
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
9973
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
9975
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
9976
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
9977
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
9978
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
9980
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
9982
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
9983
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
9985
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
9986
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
9987
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
9988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
9990
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
9991
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
9992
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
9994
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
9995
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
9996
them as full references rather than integers.
9997
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
9999
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
10000
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
10002
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
10004
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10005
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
10007
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
10008
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
10010
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10011
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
10012
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10013
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10015
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10016
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10017
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
10019
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10020
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10022
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10023
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10024
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10025
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
10026
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
10031
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
10032
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

10049
:Released: 2006-10-23
10054
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10055
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10056
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10057
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10059
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10060
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10062
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10064
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10065
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10066
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10067
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10069
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10070
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10071
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10072
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

10075
API Incompatability
10076
*******************
10078
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
10079
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
10084
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
10085
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
10086
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10088
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10089
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10090
(John Arbash Meinel)
10092
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
10093
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
10094
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10096
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10097
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10100
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10101
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10102
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10104
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10105
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10106
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10107
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10108
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10109
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10111
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10112
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10113
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10116
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10117
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10122
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10123
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10124
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10127
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10128
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10130
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10131
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10132
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10134
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10135
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10137
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10138
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10139
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10140
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10142
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10143
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10145
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10146
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10147
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10149
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10150
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10152
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10154
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10155
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10161
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10162
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10163
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10164
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10166
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10167
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
10168
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
10187
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
10193
:Released: 2006-09-25
10198
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10199
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10200
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10201
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10202
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10203
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10204
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10206
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10207
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10208
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10210
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10212
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10213
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10215
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10216
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10217
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10220
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10221
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10222
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10223
(John Arbash Meinel)
10225
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10226
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10227
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10228
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10231
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10232
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10233
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
10234
(John Arbash Meinel)
10239
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10240
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10242
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10244
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10245
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10246
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10248
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10249
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10251
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10252
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10254
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10257
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10258
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10260
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10262
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10263
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10265
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10266
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10268
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10269
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10271
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10272
(John Arbash Meinel)
10274
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10275
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10276
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10278
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10279
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10281
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10282
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10283
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10284
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10286
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10287
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10288
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10290
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10291
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10296
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
10301
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10302
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10303
(John Arbash Meinel)
10305
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10306
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10307
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10308
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10310
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10313
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10314
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10315
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10317
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10318
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10320
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10321
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10322
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10324
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10325
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10326
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10327
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10328
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10329
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10330
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10331
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10332
caller to repeat their request.
10333
(John Arbash Meinel)
10335
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10336
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10338
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10339
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10341
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10342
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10343
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10344
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10345
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10346
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10347
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10349
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10350
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10351
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10352
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10353
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10354
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10355
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10356
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10359
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10360
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10361
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10363
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10364
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10366
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10367
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10369
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
10370
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10375
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10376
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10378
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10379
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10380
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10382
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10383
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10384
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10389
:Released: 2006-08-29
10393
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10394
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10396
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10397
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10398
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10399
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10400
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10402
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10403
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10404
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10406
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10407
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10409
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10410
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
10411
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10416
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10418
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10419
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10420
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10422
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10424
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10426
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10427
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10428
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10429
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10431
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10432
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10433
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10434
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10435
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10437
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10438
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10440
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10441
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10443
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10444
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10446
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10447
in handling of revision properties.
10448
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10450
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10451
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
10456
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10457
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10458
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10459
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10460
(John Arbash Meinel)
10462
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10463
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
10464
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10469
:Released: 2006-08-11
10474
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10475
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10476
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10477
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10478
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10479
a more conservative list than the old default.
10480
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10481
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10482
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10483
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10485
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10486
to more locations than just branch locations.
10492
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10493
revno:N:branch. For example,
10494
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10495
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10497
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10498
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10499
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10500
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10501
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10502
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10503
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10504
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10507
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10508
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10509
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10512
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10513
(Alexander Belchenko)
10515
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10517
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10520
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10521
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10522
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10523
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10524
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10525
(John Arbash Meinel)
10527
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10528
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10529
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10530
grained analysis of performance.
10531
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10533
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10534
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10536
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10537
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10538
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10539
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10540
file. (Robert Collins).
10542
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10543
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10544
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10546
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10547
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10550
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10551
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10553
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10554
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10555
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10556
the same way you would apply another branch.
10557
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10559
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10560
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10562
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10565
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10568
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10569
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10570
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10572
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10573
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10574
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10576
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10577
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10579
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10580
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10581
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10582
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10583
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10585
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10586
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10588
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10589
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10590
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10591
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10592
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10593
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10594
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10595
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10597
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10598
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10599
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
10604
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10606
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10608
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10609
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10611
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10612
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10614
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10615
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10617
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10619
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10620
(John Arbash Meinel)
10622
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10623
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10625
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10626
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10629
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10630
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10632
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10633
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10635
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10636
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10637
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10638
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10640
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10641
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10643
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
10645
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
10646
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
10648
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
10650
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
10652
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10653
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10655
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10656
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10658
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10659
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10660
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10662
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10663
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10664
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10666
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10667
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10669
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10670
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10672
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10673
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10675
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10676
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10678
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10679
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10681
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10682
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10683
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10685
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10687
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10688
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10693
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10694
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10695
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10697
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10698
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10700
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10701
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10702
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10704
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10705
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10707
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10708
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10711
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10712
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10713
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10715
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10716
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10717
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10719
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10720
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10721
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10723
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
10724
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
10725
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
10727
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
10728
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
10729
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
10731
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
10732
instead. (Robert Collins)
10734
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
10739
:Released: 2006-05-17
10744
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
10749
:Released: 2006-05-16
10754
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
10755
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
10757
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
10758
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10760
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
10761
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
10762
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
10767
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
10769
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
10770
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
10772
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
10777
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
10778
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
10779
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
10780
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
10785
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
10786
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
10787
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
10792
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
10793
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
10794
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10799
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
10800
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

10807
Notes When Upgrading
10808
********************
10810
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
10811
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
10812
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
10813
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
10814
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
10815
will keep the same format.
10817
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
10818
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
10819
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
10820
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
10821
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
10823
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
10824
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
10825
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
10826
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
10827
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
10828
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
10829
indicating the current revision of the branch.
10831
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
10832
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
10833
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
10834
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
10835
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
10837
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
10838
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
10839
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
10846
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
10847
convention. Paths now take the form::
10849
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10851
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
10853
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
10854
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
10856
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
10857
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
10858
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
10860
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
10861
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
10862
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
10863
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
10865
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
10866
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
10867
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
10869
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
10871
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
10873
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
10874
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
10877
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
10878
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
10879
| xargs bzr re-sign
10881
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
10883
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
10884
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
10885
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
10888
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
10890
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
10892
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
10895
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
10896
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
10898
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
10899
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
10900
Daniel Silverstone)
10902
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
10903
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
10906
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
10908
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
10910
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
10911
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
10913
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
10914
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
10915
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
10916
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
10917
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
10918
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
10920
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
10922
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
10923
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
10926
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
10927
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
10929
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
10930
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
10932
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
10934
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
10935
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
10936
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
10937
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
10938
specification by Martin Pool.
10939
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
10941
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
10944
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
10945
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10947
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10948
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10949
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10951
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10953
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10954
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10960
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
10961
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10963
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10965
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10967
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10970
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10971
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10972
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10973
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
10978
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10979
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
10980
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10981
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10983
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10984
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10985
tried. (Martin Pool)
10987
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10990
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10992
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10993
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
10994
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
10996
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10997
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10999
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11000
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11001
paths. (Robert Collins)
11003
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11004
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11005
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11007
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11008
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11009
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11011
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11012
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11013
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11015
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11018
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11021
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11023
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11025
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11026
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11027
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11030
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11031
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11033
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11034
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11035
check. (Robert Collins)
11037
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11038
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11043
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11044
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11046
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11047
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11048
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11049
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11051
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11052
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11053
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11054
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11055
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11057
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11058
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11059
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11061
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11063
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11064
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
11069
:Released: 2006-01-09
11074
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11075
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11077
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11078
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11079
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11082
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11083
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11085
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11086
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11087
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11088
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11089
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11091
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11092
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11093
used. (Robert Collins)
11095
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11096
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11099
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11100
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11101
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11103
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11106
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11107
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11112
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11113
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11115
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11117
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11119
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11120
tree. (Robert Collins)
11122
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11123
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11124
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11127
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11130
* Tweaks to short log printing
11132
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11135
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11136
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11138
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11139
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11141
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11142
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11144
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11145
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11146
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11148
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11149
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11151
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11152
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11155
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11156
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11158
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11159
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11161
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11162
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11164
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11167
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11168
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11170
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11171
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11173
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11174
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11175
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11180
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11182
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11184
* Error when run with -OO
11186
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11189
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11191
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11193
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11194
ignored by diff and status
11196
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11197
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11199
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11201
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11203
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11204
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11206
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11207
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11209
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11212
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11213
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11215
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11217
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11218
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11220
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11223
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11224
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11226
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11231
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11232
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11234
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11236
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11238
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11240
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11241
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11242
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11244
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11246
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11247
(John Arbash Meinel)
11249
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11251
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11252
If adding a new test script please add that to
11253
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11255
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11256
imported. (Martin Pool)
11258
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11259
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11260
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11261
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11262
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11265
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11266
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11267
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11269
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11270
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11271
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11273
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11274
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11275
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11276
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11277
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11280
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11281
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11287
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11288
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11290
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11291
function. (Robert Collins)
11293
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11294
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11295
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11297
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11298
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11301
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11302
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11303
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11304
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11305
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11306
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11307
version. (Robert Collins)
11309
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11310
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11312
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11313
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11314
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11315
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11316
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11317
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11319
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11322
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
11332
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11334
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11336
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11339
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11340
query method. (Robert Collins)
11342
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11345
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11348
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11351
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11352
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11353
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11354
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11356
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11357
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11358
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11359
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11361
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11362
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
11367
:Released: 2005-10-28
11372
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11375
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11379
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11380
a separator, not ':'.
11383
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11384
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11385
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11387
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11388
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11391
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11392
has been added that suppresses all output.
11394
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11397
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11398
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11400
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11401
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11403
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11404
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11406
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11407
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11408
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11409
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11411
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11413
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11414
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11416
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11417
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11419
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11420
output directory, if one was supplied.
11422
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11423
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11424
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11425
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11427
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11429
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11430
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11432
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11433
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11434
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11436
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11437
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11439
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11442
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
11444
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
11449
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
11450
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11451
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11453
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11454
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11455
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11457
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11458
is given. (Martin Pool)
11460
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11461
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11462
file. (Robert Collins)
11464
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11470
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11471
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11472
representation. (Martin Pool).
11474
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11475
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11476
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11478
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11481
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11482
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11485
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11486
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11487
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11488
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11489
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11491
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11492
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11493
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11494
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11495
python path. (Robert Collins)
11497
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11498
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11499
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11500
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11502
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11503
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11505
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11506
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11509
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11510
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11511
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11513
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11514
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11515
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11517
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11518
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11520
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11521
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11522
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11525
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11526
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11527
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11528
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11531
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11534
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11535
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.

* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11539
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11540
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11542
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11543
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11544
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11546
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11547
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11548
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11550
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11551
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11553
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11554
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11555
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11556
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11557
caller. (Robert Collins)
11559
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11560
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11563
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11564
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11567
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11569
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11570
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
11575
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
11576
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
11578
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
11579
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
11585
:Released: 2005-10-12
11590
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
11591
allow directories to be listed.
11593
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
11594
upgrading branch format.
11599
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
11605
:Released: 2005-10-11
11610
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11611
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11612
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11613
high-latency connections.
11618
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11621
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11622
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11624
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11625
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11626
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11627
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11629
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11630
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11632
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11633
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11635
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11636
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11637
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11639
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11640
for files with only a change to their executable status.
11641
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11644
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
11645
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
11647
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11648
different partial views of history.
11650
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
11651
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
11656
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11657
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11658
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11660
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11661
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11664
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11665
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11667
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
11670
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11671
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11673
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11674
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11675
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11676
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11678
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11680
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11681
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
11684
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
11685
Contributed by Robert Collins.
11687
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
11688
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
11689
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
11695
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11696
for your viewing pleasure.
11698
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11699
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11701
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11702
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11703
handling of such circumstances.
11705
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11706
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11707
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11709
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11711
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11712
we call them revisions not patches.
11714
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11715
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11717
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11718
giving the revision *of that file*.
11720
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
11721
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
11722
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
11727
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
11728
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
11730
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
11731
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
11737

11742
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
11744
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
11747
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
11749
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
11751
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
11752
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11757
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
11758
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
11760
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
11761
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
11762
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
11763
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
11766
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
11767
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11772
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
11774
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
11775
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
11781
:Released: 2005-09-20
11787
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
11788
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
11789
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
11790
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
11793
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
11796
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
11797
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
11798
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
11799
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
11800
for the operating system is still tried.
11802
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
11803
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
11804
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
11810
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
11815
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
11817
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
11820
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
11827
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
11829
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
11840
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
11841
help with intelligent shell completion.
11843
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
11849
* Much better merge support.
11851
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
11852
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
11859
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
11860
mention revisions that are not present.
11862
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
11864
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
11866
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
11867
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
11873
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
11875
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
11876
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
11883
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
11884
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

:Released: 2005-08-18
11897
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
11898
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
11900
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
11902
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
11903
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
11905
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
11908
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
11910
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
11913
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
11914
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
11916
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
11917
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
11918
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
11924
* Faster working tree operations.
11930
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
11931
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
11932
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
11933
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
11935
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
11936
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
11937
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
11938
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
11939
standard plugins directory.
11941
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
11942
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
11943
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
11944
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
11946
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
11947
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
11949
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
11952
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
11953
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
11954
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
11956
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
11957
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
11959
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
11960
line options must come before the command name because they
11961
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
11962
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
11965
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
11967
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
11968
is available with ``--short``.
11974
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
11980
:Released: 2005-06-15
11985
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
11986
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11988
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
11989
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
11990
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11991
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
11993
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
11994
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
11995
with the ``--forward`` option.
11997
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
11998
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
12005
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
12006
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
12008
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
12010
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
12011
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12013
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
12015
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
12016
either read or write mode.
12018
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
12020
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
12021
affected that file.
12023
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
12025
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
12026
suggested by LarstiQ.
12028
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
12029
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
12031
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
12034
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
12035
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
12037
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
12038
haven't changed since the previous time.
12040
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
12041
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
12043
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
12045
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
12047
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
12048
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
12050
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
12051
options through to an external GNU diff.
12053
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
12056
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
12063
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
12064
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
12066
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
12073
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
12074
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12077
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12078
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12080
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12081
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12083
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
12084
under a different version.
12086
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
12092
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
12094
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
12095
Scott James Remnant.
12097
* Better help messages for many commands.
12099
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
12100
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12102
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12103
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12105
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
12107
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
12109
* New AtomicFile class.
12111
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
12117
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
12118
2.4 is now only recommended.

* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
12130
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
12132
* More default ignore patterns.
12134
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
12135
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
12137
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
12139
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
12142
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
12148
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12149
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12150
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12151
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12152
there are DNS problems.
12154
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
12160
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
12162
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
12164
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
12165
trailing newlines properly.

* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
12177

* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
12219
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but

* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
12260
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
12261
rather than replacing it.
12263
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
12265
* More help topics.
12267
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the

* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
12278
the root directory only.
