12
   * The default branch and repository format has changed to 
13
     ``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
14
     This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.

2698.1.1 by Robert Collins
Add records_written attribute to ContainerWriter's. (Robert Collins).
60
  INTERNALS:
61
2725.1.1 by Robert Collins
Add -Devil flag to highlight the use of problematic API calls.
62
   * New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
63
     stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.

2698.1.1 by Robert Collins
Add records_written attribute to ContainerWriter's. (Robert Collins).
66
    * ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
67
      added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
68
2671.3.8 by Robert Collins
Merge bzr.dev.
69
    * New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
70
      This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
71
      minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
72
      bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
73
      just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
74
      page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
75
76
    * New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
77
      incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
78
      data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)

84
  IMPROVEMENTS:
85
86
    * Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
87
      added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
88
      and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
89
      content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
90
      complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
91
      Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
92
      from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

96
  API CHANGES:
97
98
    * The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
99

100
      and call ``create_repository`` on that.  (Martin Pool)

[merge] bzr.dev 2612
160
    * Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
161
      version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
162
      Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
163
      read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
164
      ``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown.  (John Arbash Meinel)

      about 10%).

Add NEWS entries for performance improvements.
177
      ``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all

NEWS entry for both fixes
199
    * Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
200
      times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
201
      Meinel)
202
203
    * Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
204
      ``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
205
      ``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
206
      a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
207
2654.2.1 by Ian Clatworthy
Dump profiling data for KCacheGrind if the filename starts with callgrind.out
208
    * The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
209
      the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
210
      filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
211
2655.1.4 by John Arbash Meinel
NEWS entry for update, partial fix for bug #128076
212
    * Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
213
      ``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
214
      to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)

      change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
223
      topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior

2592.1.34 by Robert Collins
Cleanup docs.
284
    * New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
285
      used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
286
      index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
287
      same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
288
      such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
289
      index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
290
      development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
291
2474.1.67 by John Arbash Meinel
Add NEWS entries for performance improvements.
292
    * ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
293
      their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing

606
      testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format

608
      by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this

  NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
641
642
    * The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
643
      longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
644
      impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
645
      an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
646
      particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
647
      fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
648
      and unlock() like so::
649
650
        work_tree.lock_read()
651
        try:
652
            kind = work_tree.kind(...)
653
        finally:
654
            work_tree.unlock()
655
2466.8.1 by Kent Gibson
Reworked LogFormatter API to simplify extending the attributes of the revision being logged. Added support for begin_log() and end_log() hooks in LogFormatters.
656
  INTERNALS:
657
    * Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
658
      encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
659
      object.
660
      In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
661
      is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
662
      revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)

    * The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your

      working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1231
      operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1232
      versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1233
      bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees

1246
      readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1247
      its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1248
      unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1249
      format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1250
      cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1251

1262
      already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1263
      does exist.
1264
      A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1551.10.16 by Aaron Bentley

1265
      exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1266

2453
2454
  NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2455
2456
    Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2457
    'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7.  Local 
1692.7.10 by Martin Pool
Typo in NEWS
2458
    and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves.  Several
1692.7.8 by Martin Pool
Add additional explanation to NEWS
2459
    operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a 
2460
    --format option that controls this.  Branching from an existing branch
2461
    will keep the same format.
2462
2463
    It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2464
    formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2465
    branches.  It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2466
    upgrade all branches for a project at the same time.  Information on
2467
    formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2468
2469
    bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history 
2470
    of files and revisions for several branches.  Previously bzr kept all
2471
    the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2472
    branch, and this is still the default.  To create a repository, use
2473
    the new 'bzr init-repo' command.  Branches exist as directories under
2474
    the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2475
    indicating the current revision of the branch.
2476
2477
    bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2478
    subversion.  Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2479
    repository), which contains all the historical information.  The
2480
    result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1692.7.11 by Martin Pool
(patch) Mention update command in NEWS (Matthieu Moy)
2481
    already-committed revisions.  A new 'update' command is also available. 
1692.7.8 by Martin Pool
Add additional explanation to NEWS
2482
2483
    Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2484
    format.  To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2485
    'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2486
    arrangement.

    * Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3397
      implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
