bzr 0.14

########

:Released:  2007-01-23

Improvements

************

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)

Bug Fixes

*********

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not

  available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.

  (John Arbash Meinel, #80330)

* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

  working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory

  it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1

###########

:Released:  2007-01-16

Improvements

************

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart

  protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr

  server, then you can write over the http connection.

  (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)

* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace

  (Marius Kruger)

* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly

  the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects

  (and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)

* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to

  succeed.  (Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts

  (Aaron Bentley)

* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead

  of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s

  off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s

  of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by

  filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``

  calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)

* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be

  inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this

  should enable you to do::

    [/home/user/project]

    push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/

    push_location:policy = appendpath

  And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an

  automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.

  (James Henstridge)

* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags

  for each file.  For example::

    $ bzr status --short

    A  foo

    A  bar

    D  baz

    ?  wooley

* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests

  directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)

* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if

  local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)

* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)

Internals

*********

* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to

  help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated

  lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is

  improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond

  resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to

  preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)

* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows.  (Vincent Ladeuil)

* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',

  force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore

  keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).

  (Alexander Belchenko)

* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared.  (Martin

  Pool)

* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check

  that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)

* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)

Bug Fixes

*********

* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong

  direction. (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged

  revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can

  supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

  ``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than

  revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)

* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.

  (Alexander Belchenko, #57869)

* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle

  line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)

* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern

  matcher.

  (Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)

* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update

  the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416

  which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib

  robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting

  short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)

* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2

  proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy

  anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the

  problem.  (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)

* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils

  (Aaron Bentley, #76229)

* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving

  lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

  (Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

  (Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
