PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
21
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
22
23
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
24
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
25
26
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
27
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
28
work better with how it splits its requests.

bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
41
----------------------
42
43
This release of Bazaar focusses on performance improvements when pushing
44
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
45
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
46
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
47
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
48
49
NEW FEATURES:
50
51
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
52
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
53
54
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
55
(Aaron Bentley)
56
57
IMPROVEMENTS:
58
59
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
60
history just to set the last revision info.
61
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
62
63
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
64
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
65
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
66
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
67
68
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
69
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
70
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
71
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
72
(John Arbash Meinel)
73
74
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
75
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
76
77
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
78
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
79
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
80
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
81
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
82
83
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
84
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
85
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
86
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
87
88
BUG FIXES:
89
90
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
91
(Martin Pool, #289148)
92
93
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
94
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
95
96
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
97
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
98
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
99
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
100
101
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
102
starting with a dotted revno.
103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
104
105
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
106
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
107
(Martin Pool, #288751)
108
109
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
110
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
111
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
112
113
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
114
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
115
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
116
117
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
118
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
119
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
120
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
121
122
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
123
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
124
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
125
126
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
127
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
128
129
API CHANGES:
130
131
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
132
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
133
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
134
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
135
136
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
137
have changed incompatibly.
138
139
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
140
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
141
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
142
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
143
don't need to change.
144
145
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
146
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
147
148
TESTING:
149
150
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
151
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
152
153
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
154
155
156
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
157
------------------
158
159
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
160
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
161
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
162
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
163
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
164
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
165
166
BUG FIXES:
167
168
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
169
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
170
171
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
172
173
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
174
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
175
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
176
177
178
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
179
---------------------
180
181
NEW FEATURES:
182
183
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
184
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
185
186
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
187
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
188
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
189
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
190
191
IMPROVEMENTS:
192
193
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
194
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
195
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
196
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
197
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
198
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
199
200
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
201
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
202
203
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
204
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
205
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
206
207
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
208
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
209
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
210
(Andrew Bennetts)
211
212
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
213
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
214
215
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
216
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
217
218
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
219
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
220
221
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
222
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
223
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
224
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
225
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
226
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
227
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
228
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
229
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
230
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
231
232
BUG FIXES:
233
234
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
235
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
236
237
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
238
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
239
240
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
241
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
242
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
243
244
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
245
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
246
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
247
248
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
249
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
250
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
251
252
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
253
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
254
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
255
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
256
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
257
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
258
259
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
260
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
261
262
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
263
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
264
265
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
266
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
267
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
268
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
269
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
270
271
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
272
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
273
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
274
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
275
276
DOCUMENTATION:
277
278
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
279
280
API CHANGES:
281
282
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
283
284
INTERNALS:
285
286
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
287
configuration of authetication credentials.
288
289
290
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
291
------------------
292
293
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
294
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
295
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
296
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
297
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
298
299
BUG FIXES:
300
301
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
302
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
303
304
PORTABILITY:
305
306
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
307
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
308
309
310
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
311
---------------------
312
313
CHANGES:
314
315
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
316
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
317
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
318
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
319
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
320
321
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
322
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
323
324
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
325
server. (Marius Kruger)
326
327
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
328
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
329
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
330
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
331
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
332
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
333
334
FEATURES:
335
336
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
337
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
338
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
339
welcome.
340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
341
342
IMPROVEMENTS:
343
344
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
345
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
346
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
347
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
348
349
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
350
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
351
(Daniel Watkins)
352
353
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
354
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
355
(Andrew Bennetts)
356
357
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
358
(Robert Collins)
359
360
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
361
362
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
363
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
364
365
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
366
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
367
368
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
369
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
370
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
371
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
372
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
373
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
374
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
375
operations. (Robert Collins)
376
377
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
378
379
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
380
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
381
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
382
383
BUG FIXES:
384
385
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
386
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
387
(Martin Pool, #279381)
388
389
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
390
repository now preserves the repository format.
391
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
392
393
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
395
396
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
398
399
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
400
it's not there.
401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
402
403
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
404
(Andrew Bennetts)
405
406
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
407
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
408
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
409
410
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
411
is in a different repository than the current one.
412
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
413
414
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
415
(David Futcher, #242106)
416
417
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
418
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
419
420
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
421
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
422
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
423
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
424
425
* Trivial documentation fix.
426
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
427
428
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
429
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
430
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
431
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
432
433
DOCUMENTATION:
434
435
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
436
437
API CHANGES:
438
439
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
440
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
441
to use. (Robert Collins)
442
443
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
444
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
445
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
446
447
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
448
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
449
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
450
they want. (Robert Collins)
451
452
TESTING:
453
454
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
455
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
456
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
457
458
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
459
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
460
(Mark Hammond)
461
462
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
463
(Aaron Bentley)
464
465
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
466
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
467
468
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
469
(Andrew Bennetts)
470
471
INTERNALS:
472
473
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
474
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
475
476
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
477
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
478
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
479
480
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
481
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
482
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
483
484
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
485
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
486
487
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
488
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
489
490
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
491
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
492
493
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
494
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
495
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
496
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
497
parameters anymore.

503
504
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
505
506
507
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
508
-----------------------
509
510
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
511
file paths when we encounter complex history.
512
513
FEATURES:
514
515
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
516
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
517
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
518
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
519

522
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
523
------------------
524
525
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
526
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
527
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
528
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
529
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
530
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
531
532
FEATURES
533
534
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
535
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
536
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
537
538
539
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
540
---------------------
541
542
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
543
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
544
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
545
connect to the stacked-on location.
546
547
BUG FIXES:
548
549
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
550
repository now preserves the repository format.
551
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
552
553
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
554
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
555
556
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
557
(Vincent Ladeuil)
558
559
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

563
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
564
---------------------
565
566
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
567
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
568
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
569
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
570
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
571
it in a future repository format.
572
573
574
CHANGES:
575
576
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
577
(Robert Collins)
578
579
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
580
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
581
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
582
583
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
584
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
585
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
586
587
FEATURES
588
589
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
590
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
591
592
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
593
594
IMPROVEMENTS:
595
596
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
597
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
598
(Martin Pool)
599
600
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
601
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
602
603
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
604
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
605
(Marius Kruger)
606
607
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
608
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
609
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
610
(John Arbash Meinel)
611
612
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
613
(Martin Pool, #261315)
614
615
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
616
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
617
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
618
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
619
(John Arbash Meinel)
620
621
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
622
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
623
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
624
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
625
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
626
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
627
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
628
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
629
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
630
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
631
632
BUG FIXES:
633
634
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
635
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
636
637
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
638
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
639
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
640
641
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
642
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
643
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
644
645
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
646
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
647
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
648
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
649
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
650
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
651
652
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
653
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
654
655
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
656
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
657
658
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
659
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
660
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
661
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
662
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
663
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
664
665
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
666
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
667
668
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
669
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
670
671
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
672
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
673
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
674
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
675
676
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
677
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
678
679
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
680
assuming the host name is ascii.
681
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
682
683
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
684
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
685
686
DOCUMENTATION:
687
688
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
689
690
API CHANGES:
691
692
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
693
694
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
695
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
696
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
697
(Robert Collins)
698
699
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
700
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
701
702
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
703
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
704
705
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
706
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
707
708
TESTING:
709
710
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
711
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
712
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
713
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
714
715
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
716
still in use.
717
(Mark Hammond)
718
719
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
720
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
721
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
722
723
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
724
(Vincent Ladeuil)
725
726
INTERNALS:
727
728
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
729
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
730
(Robert Collins)
731
732
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
733
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
734
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
735
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
736
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
737
738
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
739
is unknown in both source and target.
740
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
741
742
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
743
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
744
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
745
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
746
747
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
748
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
749
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
750
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
751

753
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
754
--------------------
755
756
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
757
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
758
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
759
760
761
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
762
-----------------------
763
764
BUG FIXES:
765
766
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
767
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
768
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
769
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
770
771
772
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
773
-----------------------
774
775
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
776
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
777
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
778
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
779
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
780
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
781
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
782
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
783
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
784
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
785
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
786
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
787
788
BUG FIXES:
789
790
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
791
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
792
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
793
start of the string (causing more copies).
794
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
795
especially for projects with large files.
796
(John Arbash Meinel)
797
798
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
799
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
800
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
801
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
802
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
803
804
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
805
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
806
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
807
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
808
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
809
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)

812
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
813
------------------
814
815
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
816
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
817
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
818
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
819
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
820
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
821
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
822
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
823
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
824
825
826
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
827
---------------------
828
829
BUG FIXES:
830
831
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
832
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
833
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
834
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
835
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
836
837
838
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
839
---------------------
840
841
BUG FIXES:
842
843
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
844
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
845
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
846
847
848
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
849
---------------------
850
851
CHANGES:
852
853
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
854
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
855
(Robert Collins)
856
857
IMPROVEMENTS:
858
859
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
860
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
861
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
862
(Mark Hammond)
863
864
BUG FIXES:
865
866
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
867
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
868
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
869
870
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
871
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
872
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
873
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
874
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
875
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
876
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
877
878
879
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
880
---------------------
881
882
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
883
fixes for Windows.
884
885
BUG FIXES:
886
887
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
888
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
889
890
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
891
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
892
(Aaron Bentley)
893
894
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
895
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
896
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
897
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
898
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
899
900
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
901
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
902
903
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
904
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
905
906
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
907
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
908
909
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
910
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
911
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
912
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
913
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
914
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
918
---------------------
919
920
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
921
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
922
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
923
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
924
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
925
926
CHANGES:
927
928
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
929
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
930
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
931
932
IMPROVEMENTS:
933
934
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
935
check. (Daniel Watkins)
936
937
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
938
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
939
940
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
941
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
942
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
943
944
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
945
(James Westby)
946
947
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
948
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
949
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
950
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
951
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
952
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
953
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
954
955
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
956
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
957
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
958
959
BUG FIXES:
960
961
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
962
physical repository boundaries.
963
(Martin Pool, #252428)
964
965
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
966
(Martin Pool, #206258)
967
968
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
969
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
970
(Martin Pool)
971
972
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
973
(Ian Clatworthy)
974
975
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
976
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
977
that Python is running from.
978
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
979
980
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
981
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
982
(Robert Collins, #150438)
983
984
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
985
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
986
987
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
988
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
989
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
990
991
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
992
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
993
994
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
995
(James Westby, #248448)
996
997
API CHANGES:
998
999
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1000
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1001
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1002
(Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1005
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1006
(Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1009
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1010
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1011
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1012
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1013
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1014
(Robert Collins)
1015
1016
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1017
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1018
1019
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1020
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1021
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1022
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1023
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1024
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1025
1026
INTERNALS:
1027
1028
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1029
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1030
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1031
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1032
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1033
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1034
1035
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1036
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1037
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1038
1039
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1040
(Ian Clatworthy)
1041
1042
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1043
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1044
1045
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1046
(Ian Clatworthy)
1047
1048
1049
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1050
-----------------------
1051
1052
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1053
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1054
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1055
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1056
bug fixes.
1057
1058
FEATURES:
1059
1060
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1061
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1062
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1063
1064
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1065
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1066
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1067
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1068
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1069
(Ian Clatworthy)
1070
1071
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1072
1073
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1074
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1075
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1076
(Robert Collins)
1077
1078
IMPROVEMENTS:
1079
1080
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1081
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1082
(Martin Pool)
1083
1084
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1085
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1086
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1087
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1088
1089
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1090
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1091
(Christophe Troestler)
1092
1093
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1094
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1095
1096
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1097
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1098
faster. The new request method name is
1099
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1100
1101
BUG FIXES:
1102
1103
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1104
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1105
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1106
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1107
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1108
1109
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1110
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1111
1112
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1113
requires a branch to be present.
1114
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1115
1116
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1117
loaded.
1118
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1119
1120
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1121
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1122
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1123
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1124
1125
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1126
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1127
1128
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1129
name contains an @.
1130
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1131
1132
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1133
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1134
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1135
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1136
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1137
1138
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1139
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1140
1141
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1142
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1143
1144
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1145
Cygwin Bazaar.
1146
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1147
1148
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1149
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1150
1151
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1152
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1153
1154
DOCUMENTATION:
1155
1156
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1157
(Ian Clatworthy)
1158
1159
* Updated developer documentation.
1160
(Martin Pool)
1161
1162
TESTING:
1163
1164
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1165
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1166
1167
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1168
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1169
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1170
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1171
1172
API CHANGES:
1173
1174
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1175
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1176
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1177
Repository docstring for more details.
1178
(Robert Collins)
1179
1180
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1181
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1182
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1183
1184
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1185
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1186
(Daniel Watkins)
1187
1188
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1189
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1190
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1191
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1192
1193
INTERNALS:
1194
1195
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1196
(Alexander Belchenko)
1197
1198
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1199
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1200
containing a given location.
1201
(Daniel Watkins)
1202
1203
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1204
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1205
storage. (Robert Collins)
1206
1207
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1208
(Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1211
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1212
(Robert Collins)
1213
1214
1215
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1216
-----------------------
1217
1218
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1219
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1220
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1221
now faster.
1222
1223
BUG FIXES:
1224
1225
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1226
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1227
reading from the repository.)
1228
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1229
1230
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1231
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1232
1233
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1234
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1235
(Andrew Bennetts)
1236
1237
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1238
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1239
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1242
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1243
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1244
1245
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1246
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1247
1248
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1249
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1250
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1251
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1252
1253
IMPROVEMENTS:
1254
1255
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1256
1257
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1258
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1259
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1260
(Adrian Wilkins)
1261
1262
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1263
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1264
1265
DOCUMENTATION:
1266
1267
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1268
1269
TESTING:
1270
1271
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1272
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1273
1274
API CHANGES:
1275
1276
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1277
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1278
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1279
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1280
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1281
1282
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1283
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1284
1285
INTERNALS:
1286
1287
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1288
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1289
1290
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1291
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1292
1293
1294
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1295
-----------------------
1296
1297
1298
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1299
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1300
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1301
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1302
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1303
and future extensions.
1304
1305
1306
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1307
1308
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1309
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1310
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1311
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1312
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1313
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1314
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1315
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1316
1317
CHANGES:
1318
1319
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1320
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1321
(John Arbash Meinel)
1322
1323
FEATURES:
1324
1325
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1326
load. (James Westby)
1327
1328
IMPROVEMENTS:
1329
1330
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1331
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1332
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1333
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1334
1335
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1336
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1337
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1338
1339
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1340
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1341
1342
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1343
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1344
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1345
1346
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1347
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1348
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1349
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1350
step closer to not using full revision history.
1351
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1352
1353
BUGFIXES:
1354
1355
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1356
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1357
1358
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1359
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1360
1361
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1362
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1363
1364
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1365
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1366
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1367
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1368
1369
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1370
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1371
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1372
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1373
1374
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1375
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1376
in use by another process.
1377
(Martin Pool)
1378
1379
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1380
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1381
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1382
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1383
1384
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1385
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1386
1387
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1388
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1390
1391
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1392
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1394
1395
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1396
them.
1397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1398
1399
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1400
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1401
1402
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1403
under vim on Mac OS X.
1404
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1405
1406
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1407
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1408
1409
DOCUMENTATION:
1410
1411
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1412
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1413
1414
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1415
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1416
(Ian Clatworthy)
1417
1418
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1419
and about use of Python reprs.
1420
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1421
1422
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1423
1424
TESTING:
1425
1426
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1427
(Robert Collins)
1428
1429
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1430
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1431
1432
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1433
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1434
1435
INTERNALS:
1436
1437
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1438
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1439
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1440
(John Arbash Meinel)
1441
1442
API CHANGES:
1443
1444
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1445
instead. (Martin Pool)
1446
1447
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1448
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1449
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1450
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1451
1452
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1453
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1454
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1455
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1456
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1457
1458
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1459
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1460
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1461
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1462
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1463
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1464
1465
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1466
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1467
(Martin Pool)
1468
1469
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1470
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1471
(Robert Collins)
1472
1473
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1474
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1475
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1476
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1477
1478
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1479
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1480
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1481
1482
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1483
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1484
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1485
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1486
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1487
(Martin Pool)
1488
1489
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1490
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1491
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1492
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1493
(Robert Collins)
1494
1495
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1496
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1497
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1498
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1499
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1500
1501
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

------------------
1507
1508
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1509
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1510
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1511
1512
CHANGES:
1513
1514
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1515
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1516
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1517
1518
DOCUMENTATION:
1519
1520
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell

1528
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1529
1530
CHANGES:
1531
1532
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1533
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1534
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1535
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1536
1537
FEATURES:
1538
1539
IMPROVEMENTS:
1540
1541
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1542
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1543
1544
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1545
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1546
1547
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1548
(Aaron Bentley)
1549
1550
BUGFIXES:
1551
1552
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1554
1555
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1556
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1557
1558
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1559
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1560
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1561
1562
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1563
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1564
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1565
1566
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1567
(Andreas Deininger)
1568
1569
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1571
1572
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1573
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1574
1575
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1576
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1577
1578
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1579
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1580
1581
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1582
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1583
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1584
1585
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1586
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1587
1588
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1589
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1590
1591
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1592
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1593
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1594
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1595
1596
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1597
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1598
(Martin Pool)
1599
1600
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1601
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1602
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1603
1604
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1605
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1606
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1607
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1608
every revision each side had in common.
1609
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1610
1611
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1612
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1613
1614
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1615
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1616
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1617
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1618
1619
DOCUMENTATION:
1620
1621
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1622
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1623
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1624
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1625
1626
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1627
1628
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1629
1630
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1632
1633
TESTING:
1634
1635
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1636
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1637
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1638
1639
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1640
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1641
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1642
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1643
1644
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1645
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1646
1647
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1648
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1649
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1650
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1651
1652
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1653
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1654
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1655
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1656
1657
INTERNALS:
1658
1659
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1660
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1661
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1662
1663
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1664
1665
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1666
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1667
1668
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1669
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1670
1671
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1672
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1673
1674
API CHANGES:
1675
1676
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1677
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1678
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1679
1680
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1681
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1682
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1683
(Aaron Bentley)
1684
1685
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1686
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1687
(Martin Pool)
1688
1689
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1694
------------------
1695
1696
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1697
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1698
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1699
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1700
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1701
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1702
and faster performance.
1703
1704
BUG FIXES:
1705
1706
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1707
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1708

1716
1717
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1718
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1719
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1720
1721
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1722
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1723
1724
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1725
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1726
1727
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1728
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1729
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1730

CHANGES:
1739
1740
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1741
1742
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1743
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1744
1745
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1746
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1747
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1748
1749
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1750
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1751
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1752
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1753
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1754
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1755
Andrew Cowie)
1756
1757
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1758
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1759
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1760
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1761
1762
FEATURES:
1763
1764
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1765
1766
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1767
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1768
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1769
1770
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1771
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1772
See the User Reference for signature details.
1773
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1774
1775
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1776
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1777
1778
IMPROVEMENTS:
1779
1780
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1781
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1782
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1783
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1784
1785
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1786
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1787
1788
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1789
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1790
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1791
Wouter van Heyst)
1792
1793
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1794
(Chad Miller)
1795
1796
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1797
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1798
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1799
1800
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1801
(Aaron Bentley)
1802
1803
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1804
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1805
1806
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1807
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1808
1809
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1810
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1811
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1812
1813
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1814
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1815
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1816
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1817
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1818
1819
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1820
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1821
1822
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1823
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1824
1825
BUGFIXES:
1826
1827
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1828
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1829
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1830
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1831
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1832
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1833
1834
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1835
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1836
1837
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1838
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1839
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1840
1841
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1842
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1843
1844
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1845
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1846
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1847
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1848
1849
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1850
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1851
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1852
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1853
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1854
1855
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1856
1857
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1858
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1859
1860
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1861
1862
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1863
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1864
1865
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1866
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
1869
1870
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1871
1872
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1873
1874
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1875
1876
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1877
1878
API BREAKS:
1879
1880
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1881
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1882
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1883
1884
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1885
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1886
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1887
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1888
1889
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1890
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1891
release. (James Westby)
1892
1893
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1894
(Andrew Bennetts)
1895
1896
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1897
1898
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1899
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1900
1901
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1902
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1903
1904
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1905
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1906
1907
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1908
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1909
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1910
1911
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1912
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1913
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1914
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1915
1916
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1917
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1918
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1919
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1922
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1923
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1924
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1925
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1926
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1927
1928
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1929
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1930
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1931
1932
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1933
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1936
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1937
(Robert Collins)
1938
1939
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1940
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1941
1942
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1943
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1944
1945
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1946
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1947
1948
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1949
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1950
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1951
1952
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1953
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1954
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1955
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1956
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1957
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1958
1959
TESTING:
1960
1961
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1962
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1963
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1964
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1965
1966
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1967
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1968
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1969
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1970
implement this).
1971
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1972
1973
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1974
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1975
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1976
1977
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1978
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1979
1980
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1981
1982
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1983
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1984
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1985
1986
INTERNALS:
1987
1988
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1989
1990
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1991
(Martin Albisetti)
1992
1993
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1994
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1995
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1996
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1997
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1998
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1999
2000
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2001
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2002
2003
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2004
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2005
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2006
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2007
2008
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2009
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2010
2011
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2012
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

------------------
2034
2035
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2036
2037
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2038
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2039
features have been added.
2040
2041
TESTING:
2042
2043

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2052
2053
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2054
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2055
2056
CHANGES:
2057
2058
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2059
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2060
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2061
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2062
(Robert Collins)
2063
2064
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2065
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2066
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2067
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2068
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2069
(Alexander Belchenko)
2070
2071
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2072
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2073
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2074
(Alexander Belchenko)
2075
2076
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2077
2078
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2079
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2080
2081
FEATURES:
2082
2083
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2084
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2085
2086
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2087
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2088
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2089
2090
IMPROVEMENTS:
2091
2092
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2093
2094
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2095
2096
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2097
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2098
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2099
2100
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2101
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2102
2103
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2104
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2105
2106
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2107
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2108
(Alexander Belchenko)
2109
2110
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2111
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2112
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2113
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2114
2115
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2116
(Daniel Watkins)
2117
2118
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2119
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2120
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2121
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2122
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2123
2124
BUGFIXES:
2125
2126
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2127
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2128
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2129
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2130
2131
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2132
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2133
2134
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2135
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2136
2137
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2138
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2139
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2140
2141
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2142
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2143
2144
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2145
#196618)
2146
2147
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2148
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2149
2150
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2151
2152
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2153
2154
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2155
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2156
2157
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2158
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2159
2160
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2161
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2162
2163
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2164
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2165
2166
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2167
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2168
2169
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2170
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2171
2172
DOCUMENTATION:
2173
2174
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2175
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2176
2177
API BREAKS:
2178
2179
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2180
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2181
(Alexander Belchenko)
2182
2183
TESTING:
2184
2185
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2186
2187
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2188
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2189
(Robert Collins)
2190
2191
INTERNALS:
2192
2193
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2194
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2195
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2196
2197
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2198
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2199
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2200
(Alexander Belchenko)
2201
2202
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2203
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2204
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2205
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2206
2207
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2208
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2209
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2210
(Robert Collins)
2211
2212
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2213
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2214
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2215
2216
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2217
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2218
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2219
2220
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2221
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2222
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2223
format. (Robert Collins)

2237
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2238
2239
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2240
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2241
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2242
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2243
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2244
(Andrew Bennetts)
2245
2246
CHANGES:
2247
2248
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2249
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2252
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2253
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2254
2255
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2256
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2257
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2258
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2259
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2260
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2261
(Aaron Bentley)
2262
2263
FEATURES:
2264
2265
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2266
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
2268
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2269
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2270
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2271
(Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2274
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2275
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2276
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2277
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2278
2279
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2280
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2281
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2282
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2283
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2284
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2285
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2286
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2287
2288
IMPROVEMENTS:
2289
2290
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2291
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2292
2293
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2294
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2295
2296
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2297
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2298
2299
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2300
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2301
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2304
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

BUGFIXES:
2308
2309
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2310
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2311
2312
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2313
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2314
2315
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2316
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2317
2318
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2319
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2320
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2321
2322
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2323
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2324
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2325
2326
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2327
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2328
2329
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2330
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2331
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2332
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2333
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2334
unittest runner.
2335
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2336
2337
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2338
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2339
#185907)
2340
2341
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2342
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2343
2344
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2345
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2346
2347
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2349
2350
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2351
more characters which should be considered valid.
2352
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2353
2354
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2355
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2358
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2359
2360
API BREAKS:
2361
2362
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2363
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2364
2365
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2366
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2367
(Martin Pool)
2368
2369
TESTING:
2370
2371
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2372
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2373
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2374
2375
INTERNALS:
2376
2377
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2378
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2379
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2382
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2383
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2384
2385
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2386
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2387
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2388
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2389
2390
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2391
2392
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2393
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2394
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2395
server. (Robert Collins)
2396
2397
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2398
operate. (Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2401
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2402
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2405
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2406
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2407
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2408
2409
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2410
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2411
2412
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2413
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2414
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2417
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2418
2419
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2420
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2421
2422
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2423
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2424
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2425
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2432
2433
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2434
---------------------
2435
2436
CHANGES:
2437
2438
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2439
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2440
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2441
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2442
2443
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2444
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2445
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2446
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2447
2448
FEATURES:
2449
2450
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2451
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2452
2453
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2454
(Aaron Bentley)
2455
2456
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2457
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2458
2459
IMPROVEMENTS:
2460
2461
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2462
#90049)
2463
2464
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2465
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2466
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2467
2468
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2469
2470
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2471
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2472
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2473
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2474
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2475
2476
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2477
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2478
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2479
2480
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2481
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2482
2483
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2484
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2485
2486
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2489
2490
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2491
(Aaron Bentley)
2492
2493
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2494
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2495
2496
BUGFIXES:
2497
2498
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2499
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2500
2501
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2503
2504
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2505
(Aaron Bentley)
2506
2507
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2508
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2509
2510
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2511
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2512
2513
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2514
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2515
2516
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2517
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2518
2519
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2520
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2521
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2522
2523
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2524
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2525
2526
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2527
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2528
(Aaron Bentley)
2529
2530
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2531
2532
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2533
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2535
2536
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2537
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2538
2539
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2540
(Aaron Bentley)
2541
2542
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2543
#148087)
2544
2545
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2546
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2547
2548
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2549
#137681)
2550
2551
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2552
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2553
(Aaron Bentley)
2554
2555
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2556
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2558
2559
DOCUMENTATION:
2560
2561
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2562
(Ian Clatworthy)
2563
2564
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2565
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2566
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2567
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2568
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2569
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
2570
2571
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
2572
2573
INTERNALS:
2574
2575
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
2576

2577
2578
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
2579
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2580
2581
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
2582
2583
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
2584
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
2585
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
2586
Robert Collins)
2587
2588
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
2589
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2590
2591
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
2592
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2593
2594
API BREAKS:
2595
2596
TESTING:
2597
2598
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
2599
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
2600
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2601
2602
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2603
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2604
(Robert Collins)
2605
2606
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2607
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2608
2609
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2610
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2613
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2614
2615
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2616
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2617
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2618
2619
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2620
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2623
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2624
2625
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2626
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2627
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2628
2629
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2630
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2631
2632
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2633
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

2661
(Martin Pool)
2662

BUGFIXES:
2664
2665
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2666
2667
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2668
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2669
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2670
feedback but also incur more latency.
2671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2672
2673

* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2702
Nordhoff, #172612)
2703
2704
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2705
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2706
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2707
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2708
2709
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2710

2712
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2713
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2714
2715
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2716
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2717
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2718
2719
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2720
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2721
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2722
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2723
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2724
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2725
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2726
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2727
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

2742
filename to user.
2743
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2744
2745
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2746
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2747
required.
2748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2773
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2774
2775
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2776
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2777
2778
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2779
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2780
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2781
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2782
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2783
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2784
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2785
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2786
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2787
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2788
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2789
from any tree without problems.

CHANGES:
2793
2794
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2795
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2796
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2797
2798
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2799
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2800

2801
(Martin Pool)
2802
2803
FEATURES:
2804
2805
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2806
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2807
supported transports.
2808
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2809
2810
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2811
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2812
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2813
2814
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2815
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2816
2817
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2818
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2819
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2820
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2821
2822
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2823
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2824
2825
PERFORMANCE:
2826
2827
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2828
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2829
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2830
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2831
2832
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2833
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2834
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2835
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2836
2837
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2838
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2839
2840
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2841
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2842
2843
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2844
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2845
2846
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2847
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2848
(Aaron Bentley)
2849
2850
IMPROVEMENTS:
2851
2852
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2853
(Aaron Bentley)
2854
2855
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2856
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2857
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2858
2859
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2860
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2861
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2862
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2863
2864
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2865
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2866
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2867
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

2873
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2874
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2875
2876
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2877
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2878
2879
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2880
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2881
2882
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2884
2885
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2886
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2887
2888
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2889
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2890
2891
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2892
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2893
2894
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2895
(Aaron Bentley)
2896
2897
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2899
2900
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2901
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2903
2904
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2905
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2906
2907
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2908
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2909
2910
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2911
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2912
2913
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2915
2916
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2917
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2918
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2919
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2920
on them.
2921
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2922
2923
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2924
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2926
2927
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2928
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2929
2930
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2931
to be reconciled.
2932
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2933
2934
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2935
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2936
2937
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2938
specify a port in urls.
2939
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2940
2941
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2942
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2943
2944
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2945
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2946
2947
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2948
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2949
2950
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2951
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2952
2953
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2954
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2955
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2956
2957
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2958
2959
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2960
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2961
2962
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2963
Watkins, #152811)
2964
2965
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2966
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2967
2968
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2969
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2970
2971
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2972
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2973
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2974
2975
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2976
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2977
2978
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2979
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2980
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2981
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2982
2983
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2984
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2985
2986
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2987
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2988
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2989
2990
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2991
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2992
2993
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2995
2996
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2997
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2998
2999
API BREAKS:
3000
3001
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3002
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3003
3004
* The return value of
3005
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3006
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3007
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3008
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3009
3010
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3011
(Robert Collins)
3012
3013
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3014
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3015
format.
3016
(Martin Pool)
3017
3018
INTERNALS:
3019
3020
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3021
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3022
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3023
Bennetts)
3024
3025
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3026
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3027
3028
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3045
3046
CHANGES:
3047
3048
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3049
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3050
3051
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3052
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3053
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3054
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3055
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3056
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3057
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3058
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3059
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3060
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3061
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3062
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3063
(Robert Collins)
3064
3065
FEATURES:
3066
3067
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3068
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3069
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3070
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3071
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3072
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3073
3074
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3075
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3076
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3077
(Robert Collins)
3078
3079
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3080
3081
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3082
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3083
3084
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3085
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3086
(Aaron Bentley)
3087
3088
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3089
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3090
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3091
3092
PERFORMANCE:
3093
3094
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3095
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3096
3097
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3098
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3099
3100
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3101
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3102
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3103
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3104
3105
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3106
(Robert Collins)
3107
3108
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3109
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3110
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3111
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3112
3113
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3114
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3117
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3118
3119
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3120
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3121
3122
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3123
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3124
3125
IMPROVEMENTS:
3126
3127
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3128
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3129
3130
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3131
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3132
3133
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3134
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3135
3136
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3137
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3138
3139
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3140
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3141
3142
DOCUMENTATION:
3143
3144
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3145
3146
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3147
(Ian Clatworthy)
3148
3149
BUG FIXES:
3150
3151
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3152
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3153
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3154
3155
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3156
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3157
3158
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3159
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3160
3161
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3162
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3163
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3164
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3165
3166
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3167
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3168
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3169
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3170
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3171
3172
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3173
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3174
paramiko.
3175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3176
3177
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3178
3179
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3180
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3181
3182
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3184
3185
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3187
3188
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3189
contains a symbolic link.
3190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3191
3192
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3193
(James Westby, #140615)
3194
3195
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3196
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3198
3199
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3200
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3201
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3202
3203
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3204
3205
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3207
3208
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3209
will remain opened.
3210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3211
3212
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3213
directory to detect leaking tests.
3214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3215
3216
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3217
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3218
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3219
3220
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3221
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3222
3223
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3224
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3227
Merwe)
3228
3229
API BREAKS:
3230
3231
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3232
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3233
3234
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3235
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3236
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3237
3238
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3239
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3240
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3241
3242
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3243
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3244
3245
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3246
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3247
3248
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3249
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3250
(Martin Pool)
3251
3252
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3253
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3256
class that needs it.
3257
(Martin Pool)
3258
3259
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3260
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3261
3262
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3263
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3264
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3265
3266
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3267
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3268
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3269
(Robert Collins)
3270
3271
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3272
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3273
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3274
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3275
(Robert Collins)
3276
3277
INTERNALS:
3278
3279
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3280
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3281
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3282
3283
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3284
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3285
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3286
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3289
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3290
(Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3293
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3294
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3295
3296
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3297
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3298
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3301
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3304
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3305
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3306
3307
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3308
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3309
3310
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3311
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3312
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3313
3314
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3315
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3316
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3317
3318
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3319
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3320
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3321
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3322
3323
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3324
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3325
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3326
returned. (Robert Collins)
3327
3328
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3329
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3330
3331
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3332
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3333
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3334
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3335
(Robert Collins)
3336
3337
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3338
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3339
3340
TESTING:
3341
3342
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3343
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3344
3345
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3346
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3347
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3348
makes this behavior available to other users.
3349
(Martin Pool)
3350
3351
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3352
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3353
3354
3355
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3356
-------------------
3357
3358
BUG FIXES:
3359
3360
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3361
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3362
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3363
3364
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3365
3366
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3367
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3368
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3369
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3370
3371
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3372
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3373
(Andrew Bennetts)
3374
3375
3376
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3377
----------------------
3378
3379
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3380
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3381
3382
3383
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3384
----------------------
3385
3386
CHANGES:
3387
3388
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3389
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3390
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3391
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3392
(Martin Pool)
3393
3394
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3395
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3396
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3397
(Ian Clatworthy)
3398
3399
FEATURES:
3400
3401
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3402
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3403
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3404
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3405
3406
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3407
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3408
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3409
3410
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3411
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3412
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3413
3414
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3415
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3416
3417
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3418
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3419
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3420
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3421
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3422
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3423
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3424
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3425
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3426
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3427
3428
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3429
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3430
3431
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3432
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3433
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3434
3435
BUG FIXES:
3436
3437
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3438
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3439
3440
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3441
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3442
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3443
3444
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3445
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3446
3447
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3448
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3449
3450
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3451
(Aaron Bentley)
3452
3453
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3454
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3455
3456
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3457
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3458
3459
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3460
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3461
3462
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3463
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3464
3465
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3466
3467
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3468
Watkins, #106726)
3469
3470
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3471
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3472
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3473
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3474
3475
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3476
3477
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3478
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3479
#133548)
3480
3481
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3482
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3483
3484
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3485
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3486
#116143)
3487
3488
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3489
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3490
3491
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3492
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3493
3494
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3495
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3496
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3497
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3498
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3499
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3500
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3501
3502
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3503
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3504
3505
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3506
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3507
3508
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3509
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3510
3511
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3513
3514
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3515
connections.
3516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3517
3518
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3519
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3520
3521
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3522
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3523
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3524
3525
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3526
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3527
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3528
3529
IMPROVEMENTS:
3530
3531
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3532
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3533
3534
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3535
(Aaron Bentley)
3536
3537
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3538
(Aaron Bentley)
3539
3540
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3541
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3542
3543
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3544
3545
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3546
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3547
3548
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3549
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3550
3551
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3552
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3553
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3554
space). (Robert Collins)
3555
3556
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3557
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3558
(Ian Clatworthy)
3559
3560
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3561
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3562
3563
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3564
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3565
3566
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3567
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3568
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3569
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3570
3571
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3572
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3573
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3574
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3575
3576
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3577
(Ian Clatworthy)
3578
3579
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3580
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3581
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3582
3583
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3584
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3585
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3586
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3587
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3588
3589
API BREAKS:
3590
3591
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3592
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3593
3594
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3595
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3596
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3597
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3598
affected. (Robert Collins)
3599
3600
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3601
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3602
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3603
(Robert Collins)
3604
3605
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3606
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3607
3608
TESTING:
3609
3610
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3611
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3612
3613
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3614
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3615
3616
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3617
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3618
3619
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3620
(Aaron Bentley)
3621
3622
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3623
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3624
3625
INTERNALS:
3626
3627
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3628
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3629
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3630
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3631
3632
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3633
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3634
3635
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3636
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3637
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3638
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3639
3640
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3641
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3642
present. (Robert Collins)
3643
3644
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3645
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3646
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3647
API. (Robert Collins)
3648
3649
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3650
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3651
(Robert Collins)
3652
3653
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3654
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3655
3656
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3657
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3658
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3659
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3660
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3661
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3662
3663
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3664
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3665
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3668
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3669
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3670
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3671
protocol.
3672
3673
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3674
(Aaron Bentley)
3675
3676
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3677
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3678
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3679
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3680
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3681
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3682
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3683
3684
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3685
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3686
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3687
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3688
3689
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3690
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3691
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3692
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3693
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3694
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3695
3696
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3697
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3698
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3699
3700
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3701
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
3706
3707
IMPROVEMENTS:
3708
3709
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3710
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3711
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3712
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3713
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3714
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3715
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

3719
API CHANGES:
3720
3721
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3722
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3723
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3724

3726
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3727
----------------------
3728
3729
BUGFIXES:
3730
3731
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3732
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3733
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3734
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3735
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3736
3737
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3738
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3739
3740
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3741
anymore.
3742
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3743
3744
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3745
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3746
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3747
3748
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3749
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3750
#111664)
3751
3752
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3753
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3754
3755
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3756
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3757
3758
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3759
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3760
3761
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3762
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3763
3764
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3765
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3766
3767
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3768
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3769
3770
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3771
(Aaron Bentley)
3772
3773
IMPROVEMENTS:
3774
3775
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3776
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3777
3778
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3779
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3780
3781
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3782
the repository (Robert Collins)
3783
3784
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3785
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3786
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3787
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3788
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3789
3790
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3791
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3792
3793
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3794
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3795
(John Arbash Meinel)
3796
3797
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3798
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3799
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3800
about 10%).
3801
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3802
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3803
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3804
(John Arbash Meinel)
3805
3806
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3807
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3808
(Robert Collins)
3809
3810
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3811
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3812
3813
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3814
(Ian Clatworthy)
3815
3816
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3817
3818
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3819
3820
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3821
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3822
3823
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3824
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3825
Meinel)
3826
3827
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3828
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3829
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3830
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3831
3832
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3833
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3834
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3835
3836
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3837
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3838
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3839
3840
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3841
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3842
3843
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3844
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3845
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3846
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3847
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3848
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3849
(Ian Clatworthy)
3850
3851
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3852
(Alexander Belchenko)
3853
3854
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3855
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3856
3857
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3858
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3859
3860
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3861
3862
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3863
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3864
3865
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3866
3867
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3868
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3869
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3870
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3871
3872
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3873
3874
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3875
(Robert Collins)
3876
3877
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3878
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3879
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3880
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3881
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3882
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3883
3884
INTERNALS:
3885
3886
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3887
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3888
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3889
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3890
3891
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3892
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3893
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3894
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3895
tests have been refactored too.
3896
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3897
3898
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3899
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3900
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3901
list, it will.
3902
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3903
3904
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3905
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3906
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3907
3908
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3909
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3910
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3911
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3912
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3913
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3914
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3915
3916
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3917
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3918
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3919
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3920
(John Arbash Meinel)
3921
3922
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3923
functionality for testing.
3924
3925
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3926
3927
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3928
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3929
3930
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3931
3932
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3933
(Robert Collins)
3934
3935
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3936
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3937
3938
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3939
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3940
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3941
3942
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3943
(Aaron Bentley)
3944
3945
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3946
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3947
3948
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3949
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3950
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3951
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3952
3953
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3954
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3955
3956
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3957
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3958
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3959
3960
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3961
(Marius Kruger)
3962
3963
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3964
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3965
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3966
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3967
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3968
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3969
3970
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3971
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3972
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3973
many files. (Robert Collins)
3974
3975
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3976
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3977
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3978
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3979
3980
TESTING:
3981
3982
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3983
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3984
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3985
3986
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3987
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3988
3989
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3990
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3991
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
4006
4007
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4008
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4009
4010
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4011
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4012
(James Westby, #122656)
4013
4014
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4015
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4016
4017
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4018
authentication header.
4019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4020
4021
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4022
4023
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4024
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4025
4026
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4027
4028
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4030
4031
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4032
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4033
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4034
4035
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4036
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4037
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4038
4039
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4040
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4041
4042
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4043
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4044
4045
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4046
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4047
4048
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4049
4050
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4051
4052
IMPROVEMENTS:
4053
4054
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4055
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4056
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4057
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4058
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4059
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4060
4061
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4062
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4063
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4064
4065
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4066
(Elliot Murphy)
4067
4068
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4069
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4070
4071
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4072
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4073
4074
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4075
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4076
4077
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4078
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4079
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4080
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4081
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4082
4083
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4084
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4085
4086
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4087
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4088
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4089
4090
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4091
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4092
4093
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4094
4095
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4096
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4097
4098
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4099
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4100
(Robert Collins)
4101
4102
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4103
(Martin Pool)
4104
4105
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4106
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4107
4108
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4109
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4110
4111
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4112
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4113
4114
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4115
4116
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4117
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4118
4119
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4147
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4148
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4149
4150
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4151
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4152
4153
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4154
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4155
4156
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4157
4158
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4159
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4160
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4161
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4162
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4163
same location. (Robert Collins)
4164
4165
INTERNALS:
4166
4167
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4168
4169
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4170
4171
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4172
4173
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4174
(Martin Pool)
4175
4176
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4177
(Martin Pool)
4178
4179
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4180
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4181
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4182
4183
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4184
4185
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4186
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4187
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4188
4189
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4190
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4191
4192
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4193
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4194
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4195
4196
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4197
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4198
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4199
4200
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4201
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4202
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4203
4204
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4205
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4206
Martin Pool)
4207
4208
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4209
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4210
4211
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4212
(Alexander Belchenko)
4213
4214
TESTING:
4215
4216
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4217
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4218
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4219
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4220
4221
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4222
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4223
testing. (Robert Collins)
4224
4225
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4226
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4227
4228
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4229
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4230
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4231
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4232
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4233
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4234
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4235
4236
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4237
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4238
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4239
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4240
4241
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4242
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4243
4244
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4245
avoid useless cloning.

4264
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4265
4266
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4267
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4268
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4269
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4270
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4271
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4272
and unlock() like so::
4273
4274
work_tree.lock_read()
4275
try:
4276
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4277
finally:
4278
work_tree.unlock()
4279
4280
INTERNALS:
4281
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4282
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4283
object.
4284
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4285
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4286
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4287
4288
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4289
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4290
too. (Robert Collins)
4291
4292
IMPROVEMENTS:
4293
4294
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4295
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4296
Aaron Bentley)
4297
4298
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4299
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4300
4301
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4302
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4303
4304
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4305
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4306
understanding what changes have occurred
4307
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4308
4309
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4310
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4311
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4312
4313
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4314
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4315
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4316
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4317
4318
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4319
#56322)
4320
4321
BUGFIXES:
4322
4323
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4324
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4325
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4326
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4327
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4328
4329
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4330
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4331
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4332
4333
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4335
4336
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4337
into account.
4338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4339
4340
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4341
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4342
4343
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4344
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4345
4346
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4347
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4348
4349
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4350
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4351
4352
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4353
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4354
4355
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4356
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4357
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4360
--------------------
4361
4362
BUGFIXES:
4363
4364
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4365
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4366
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4367
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4368
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4369
4370
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4371
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4372
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4373
4374
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4375
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4376
4377
IMPROVEMENTS:
4378
4379
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4380
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4381
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4382
4383
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4384
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4385
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4386
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4389
-----------------------
4390
4391
BUGFIXES:
4392
4393
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4394
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4395
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4396
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4397
4398
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4399
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4400
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4401
4402
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4403
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4404
4405
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4406
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4407
4408
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4409
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4411
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4412
-----------------------
4413
4414
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4415
4416
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4417
it could be recovered again.
4418
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4419
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4420
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4421
but not delete it.
4422
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4423
files.
4424
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4425
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4426
4427
IMPROVEMENTS:
4428
4429
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4430
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4431
4432
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4433
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4434
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4435
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4436
4437
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4438
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4439
4440
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4441
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4442
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4443
4444
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4445
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4446
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4447
4448
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4449
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4450
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4451
4452
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4453
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4454
Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4457
Pool)
4458
4459
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4460
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4461
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4462
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4463
4464
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4465
(Robert Collins)
4466
4467
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4468
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4469
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4470
(Robert Collins)
4471
4472
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4473
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4474
4475
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4476
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4477
4478
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4479
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4480
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4481
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4482
(Robert Collins)
4483
4484
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4485
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4486
4487
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4488
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4489
4490
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4491
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4492
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4493
4494
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4495
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4496
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4497
4498
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4499
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4500
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4501
4502
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4503
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4504
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4505
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4506
4507
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4508
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4509
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4510
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4511
4512
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4513
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4514
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4515
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4516
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4517
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4518
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4519
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4520
header(s).
4521
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4522
4523
INTERNALS:
4524
4525
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4526
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4527
4528
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4529
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4530
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4531
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4532
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4533
4534
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4535
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4536
4537
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4538
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4539
4540
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4541
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4542
4543
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4544
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4545
4546
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4547
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4548
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4549
(Robert Collins).
4550
4551
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4552
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4553
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4554
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4555
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4556
(Robert Collins)
4557
4558
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4559
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4560
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4561
4562
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4563
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4564
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4565
4566
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4567
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4568
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4569
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4570
4571
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4572
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4573
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4574
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4575
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4576
4577
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4578
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4579
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4580
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4581
4582
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4583
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4584
4585
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4586
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4587
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4588
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4589
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4590
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4591
4592
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4593
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4594
4595
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4596
help. (Robert Collins)
4597
4598
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4599
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4600
4601
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4602
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4603
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4604
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4605
(John Arbash Meinel)
4606
4607
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4608
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4609
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4610
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4611
useful. (Robert Collins)
4612
4613
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4614
(Andrew Bennetts)

4616
BUGFIXES:
4617
4618
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4619
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4620
4621
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4622
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4623
4624
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4625
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4626
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4627
4628
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4629
(Aaron Bentley)
4630
4631
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4632
the file, and does it faster.
4633
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4634
4635
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4636
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4637
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4638
4639
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4640
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4641
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4642
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4643
4644
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4645
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4646
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4647
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4648
4649
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4650
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4651
4652
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4653
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4654
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4655
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4656
Arbash Meinel)
4657
4658
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4659
4660
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4661
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4662
4663
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4664
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4665
4666
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4667
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4668
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4669
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4670
security hole.
4671
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4672
4673
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4675
4676
TESTING:
4677
4678
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4679
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4680
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4681
4682
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4683
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4684
4685
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4686
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4687
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4688
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4689
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4690
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4691
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4692
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4693
4694
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4695
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4696
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4697
4698
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4699
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4700
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4701
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4702
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4703
access.
4704
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4705
4706
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4707
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4708
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4709
4710
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4711
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

4729
CHANGES:
4730
4731
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4732
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4733
(Martin Pool)
4734
4735
IMPROVEMENTS:
4736
4737
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4738
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4739
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4740
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4741
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4742
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4743
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4744
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4745
path. (vila)
4746
4747
INTERNALS:
4748
4749
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4750
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4751
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4752
4753
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4754
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4755
(Martin Pool)
4756
4757
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4758
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4759
(John Arbash Meinel)
4760
4761
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4762
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4763
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4764
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4765
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4766
4767
BUGFIXES:
4768
4769
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4770
(vila, #92195)
4771
4772
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4773
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4774
4775
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4776
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4777
4778
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4779
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4780
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4781
4782
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4783
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4784
4785
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4786
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4787
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4788
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4789
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4790
4791
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4792
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4793
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4794
4795
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

4799
-----------------------
4800
4801
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4802
4803
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4804
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4805
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4806
4807
IMPROVEMENTS:
4808
4809
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4810
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4811
4812
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4813
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4814
4815
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4816
4817
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4818
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4819
4820
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4821
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4822
4823
INTERNALS:
4824
4825
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4826
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4827
4828
BUGFIXES:
4829
4830
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4831
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4832
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4833
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4834
4835
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4836
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4837
4838
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4839
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4840
4841
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4842
(Marien Zwart)
4843
4844
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4845
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

4848
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4849
-----------------------
4850
4851
SURPRISES:
4852
4853
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4854
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4855
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4856
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4857
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4858
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4859
4860
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4861
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4862
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4863
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4864
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4865
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4866
development.
4867
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4868
4869
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4870
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4871
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4872
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4873
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4874
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4875
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4876
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4877
4878
IMPROVEMENTS:
4879
4880
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4881
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4882
4883
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4884
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4885
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4886
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4887
does exist.
4888
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4889
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4890
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4891
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4892
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4893
4894
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4895
(Aaron Bentley)
4896
4897
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4898
(Aaron Bentley)
4899
4900
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4901
(Robert Collins)
4902
4903
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4904
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4905
(Aaron Bentley)
4906
4907
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4908
(Aaron Bentley)
4909
4910
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4911
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4912
4913
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4914
directory. (Martin Pool)
4915
4916
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4917
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4918
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4919
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4920
4921
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4922
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4923
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4924
in docs/configuration.txt.
4925
4926
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4927
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4928
bind location.
4929
4930
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4931
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4932
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4933
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4934
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4935
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4936
4937
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4938
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4939
4940
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4941
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4942
4943
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4944
(Aaron Bentley)
4945
4946
INTERNALS:
4947
4948
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4949
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4950
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4951
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4952
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4953
(John Arbash Meinel)
4954
4955
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4956
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4957
(Aaron Bentley)
4958
4959
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4960
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4961
(John Arbash Meinel)
4962
4963
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4964
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4965
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4966
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4967
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4968
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4971
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4972
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4973
4974
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4975
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4976
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4977
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4978
repository.
4979
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4980
4981
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4982
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4983
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4984
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4985
4986
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4987
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4988
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4989
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4990
4991
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4992
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4993
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4994
4995
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4996
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4997
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4998
4999
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5000
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5001
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5002
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5003
5004
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5005
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5006
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5007
5008
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5009
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5010
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5011
5012
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5013
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5014
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5015
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5016
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5017
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5018
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5019
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5020
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5021
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5022
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5023
5024
BUGFIXES:
5025
5026
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5027
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5028
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5029
5030
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5031
(Aaron Bentley)
5032
5033
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5034
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5035
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5036
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5037
5038
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5039
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5040
#83954).
5041
5042
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5043
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5044
5045
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5046
5047
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5048
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5049
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5050
5051
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5052
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5053
5054
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5055
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5056
5057
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5059
5060
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5061
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5062
5063
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5064
5065
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5066
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5067
5068
TESTING:
5069
5070
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5071
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
5075
--------------------
5076
5077
IMPROVEMENTS:
5078
5079
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5080
5081
BUG FIXES:
5082
5083
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5084
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5085
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5086
5087
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5088
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5089
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

5092
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5093
-----------------------
5094
5095
IMPROVEMENTS:
5096
5097
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5098
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5099
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5100
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5101
5102
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5103
(Marius Kruger)
5104
5105
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5106
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5107
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5108
5109
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5110
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5111
5112
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5113
(Aaron Bentley)
5114
5115
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5116
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5117
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5118
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5119
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5120
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5121
5122
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5123
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5124
should enable you to do::
5125
5126
[/home/user/project]
5127
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5128
push_location:policy = appendpath
5129
5130
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5131
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5132
(James Henstridge)
5133
5134
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5135
for each file. For example::
5136
5137
$ bzr status --short
5138
A foo
5139
A bar
5140
D baz
5141
? wooley
5142
5143
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5144
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5145
5146
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5147
5148
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5149
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5150
5151
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5152
5153
INTERNALS:
5154
5155
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5156
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5157
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5158
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5159
5160
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5161
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5162
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5163
5164
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5165
5166
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5167
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5168
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5169
(Alexander Belchenko)
5170
5171
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5172
Pool)
5173
5174
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5175
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5176
5177
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5178
5179
BUG FIXES:
5180
5181
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5182
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5183
5184
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5185
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5186
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5187
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5188
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5189
5190
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5191
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5192
5193
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5194
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5195
5196
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5197
matcher.
5198
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5199
5200
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5201
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5202
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5203
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5204
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5205
5206
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5207
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5208
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5209
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5210
5211
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5212
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5213
5214
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5215
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5216
5217
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5218
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5219
5220
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

5232
IMPROVEMENTS:
5233
5234
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5235
tree from a branch.
5236
(Daniel Silverstone)
5237
5238
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5239
operations are substantially faster.
5240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5241
5242
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5243
tree from some other url. For example:
5244
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5245
(Daniel Silverstone)
5246
5247
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5248
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5249
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5250
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5251
5252
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5253
(Andrew Bennetts)
5254
5255
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5256
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5257
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5258
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5259
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5260
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5261
5262
INTERNALS:
5263
5264
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5265
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5266
(Martin Pool)
5267
5268
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5269
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5270
(John Arbash Meinel)
5271
5272
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5273
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5274
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5275
(John Arbash Meinel)
5276
5277
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5278
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5279
5280
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5281
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5282
5283
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5284
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5285
Bennetts)
5286
5287
BUG FIXES:
5288
5289
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5290
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5291
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5292
5293
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5294
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5295
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5296
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5297
5298
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5299
5300
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5301
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5302
5303
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5304
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5305
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5307
5308
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5309
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5310
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5311
5312
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5313
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5314
them as full references rather than integers.
5315
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5316
5317
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5318
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5319
5320
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5321
5322
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5323
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5324
5325
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5326
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5327
5328
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5329
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5330
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5331
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5332
5333
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5334
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5335
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5336
5337
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5338
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5339
5340
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5341
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5342
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5343
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5344
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5345
5346
TESTING:
5347
5348
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5349
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

5352
--------------------
5353
5354
INTERNALS:
5355
5356
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5357
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5358
(John Arbash Meinel)
5359
5360
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5361
-----------------------
5362
5363
IMPROVEMENTS:
5364
5365
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5366
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5367
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5368
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5369
5370
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5371
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5372
5373
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5374
5375
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5376
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5377
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5378
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5379
5380
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5381
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5382
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5383
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5384
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5385
5386
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5387
5388
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5389
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5390
5391
INTERNALS:
5392
5393
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5394
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5395
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5396
5397
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5398
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5399
(John Arbash Meinel)
5400
5401
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5402
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5403
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5404
5405
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5406
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5407
(Aaron Bentley)
5408
5409
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5410
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5411
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5412
5413
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5414
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5415
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5416
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5417
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5418
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5419
5420
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5421
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5422
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5423
(Robert Collins)
5424
5425
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5426
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5427
5428
BUG FIXES:
5429
5430
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5431
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5432
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5433
#63360, #66349)
5434
5435
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5436
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5437
5438
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5439
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5440
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5441
5442
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5443
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5444
5445
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5446
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5447
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5448
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5449
5450
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5451
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5452
5453
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5454
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5455
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5456
5457
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5458
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5459
5460
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5461
5462
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5463
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5464
#32054)
5465
5466
TESTING:
5467
5468
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5469
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5470
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5471
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5472
5473
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5474
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5475
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

IMPROVEMENTS:
5496
5497
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5498
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5499
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5500
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5501
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5502
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5503
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5504
5505
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5506
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5507
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5508
5509
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5510
5511
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5512
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5513
5514
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5515
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5516
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5517
(Robert Collins)
5518
5519
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5520
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5521
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5522
(John Arbash Meinel)
5523
5524
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5525
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5526
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5527
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5528
Pool)
5529
5530
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5531
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5532
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5533
(John Arbash Meinel)
5534
5535
BUG FIXES:
5536
5537
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5538
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5539
5540
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5541
5542
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5543
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5544
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5545
5546
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5547
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5548
5549
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5550
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5551
5552
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5554
5555
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5556
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5557
5558
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5559
5560
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5561
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5562
5563
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5564
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5565
5566
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5567
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5568
5569
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5570
(John Arbash Meinel)
5571
5572
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5573
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5574
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5575
5576
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5577
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5578
5579
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5580
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5581
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5582
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5583
5584
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5585
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5586
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5587
5588
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5589
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5590
5591
PORTABILITY:
5592
5593
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5594
5595
INTERNALS:
5596
5597
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5598
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5599
(John Arbash Meinel)
5600
5601
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5602
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5603
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5604
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5605
5606
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5607
(Andrew Bennetts)
5608
5609
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5610
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5611
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5612
5613
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5614
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5615
5616
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5617
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5618
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5619
5620
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5621
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5622
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5623
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5624
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5625
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5626
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5627
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5628
caller to repeat their request.
5629
(John Arbash Meinel)
5630
5631
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5632
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5633
5634
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5635
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5636
5637
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5638
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5639
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5640
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5641
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5642
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5643
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5644
5645
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5646
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5647
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5648
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5649
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5650
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5651
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5652
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5653
(Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5656
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5657
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5658
5659
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5660
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5661
5662
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5663
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5664
5665
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5666
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5667
5668
TESTING:
5669
5670
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5671
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5672
5673
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5674
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5675
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5676
5677
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5678
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5679
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5680
5681
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5682
--------------------
5683
5684
IMPROVEMENTS:
5685
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5686
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5687
5688
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5689
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5690
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5691
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5692
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5693
5694
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5695
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5696
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5697
5698
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5699
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5700
5701
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5702
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5703
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5704
5705
BUG FIXES:
5706
5707
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5708
5709
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5710
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5711
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5712
5713
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5714
5715
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5716
5717
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5718
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5719
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5720
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5721
5722
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5723
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5724
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5725
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5726
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5727
5728
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5729
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5730
5731
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5732
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5733
5734
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5735
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5736
5737
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5738
in handling of revision properties.
5739
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5740
5741
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5742
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5743
5744
INTERNALS:
5745
5746
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5747
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5748
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5749
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5750
(John Arbash Meinel)
5751
5752
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5753
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5754
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5755
5756
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5757
---------------------
5758
5759
SURPRISES:
5760
5761
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5762
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5763
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5764
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5765
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5766
a more conservative list than the old default.
5767
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5768
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5769
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5770
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5771
5772
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5773
to more locations than just branch locations.
5774
(Aaron Bentley)
5775
5776
IMPROVEMENTS:
5777
5778
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5779
revno:N:branch. For example,
5780
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5781
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5782
5783
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5784
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5785
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5786
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5787
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5788
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5789
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5790
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5791
#42517, #42514)
5792
5793
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5794
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5795
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5796
(Malone #3507)
5797
5798
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5799
(Alexander Belchenko)
5800
5801
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5802
5803
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5804
(Robert Collins).
5805
5806
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5807
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5808
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5809
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5810
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5811
(John Arbash Meinel)
5812
5813
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5814
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5815
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5816
grained analysis of performance.
5817
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5818
5819
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5820
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5821
5822
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5823
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5824
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5825
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5826
file. (Robert Collins).
5827
5828
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5829
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5830
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5831
5832
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5833
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5834
Matthieu Moy)
5835
5836
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5837
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5838
5839
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5840
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5841
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5842
the same way you would apply another branch.
5843
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5844
5845
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5846
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5847
5848
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5849
(Michael Ellerman)
5850
5851
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5852
(Aaron Bentley)
5853
5854
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5855
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5856
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5857
5858
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5859
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5860
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5861
5862
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5863
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5864
5865
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5866
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5867
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5868
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5869
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5870
5871
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5872
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5873
5874
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5875
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5876
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5877
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5878
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5879
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5880
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5881
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5882
5883
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5884
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5885
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5886
5887
BUG FIXES:
5888
5889
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5890
tests not to run.
5891
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5892
5893
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5894
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5895
5896
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5897
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5898
5899
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5900
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5901
5902
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5903
5904
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5905
(John Arbash Meinel)
5906
5907
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5908
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5909
5910
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5911
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5912
and y.
5913
5914
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5915
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5916
5917
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5918
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5919
5920
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5921
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5922
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5923
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5924
5925
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5926
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5927
5928
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5929
5930
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5931
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5932
5933
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5934
5935
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5936
5937
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5938
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5939
5940
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5941
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5942
5943
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5944
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5945
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5946
5947
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5948
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5949
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5950
5951
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5952
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5953
5954
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5955
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5956
5957
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5958
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5959
5960
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5961
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5962
5963
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5964
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5965
5966
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5967
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5968
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5969
5970
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5971
5972
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5973
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5974
5975
INTERNALS:
5976
5977
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5978
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5979
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5980
5981
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5982
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5983
5984
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5985
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5986
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5987
5988
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5989
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5990
5991
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5992
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5993
(Martin Pool)
5994
5995
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5996
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5997
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5998
5999
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6000
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6001
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6002
6003
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6004
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6005
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6006
6007
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6008
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6009
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6010
6011
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6012
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6013
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6014
6015
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6016
instead. (Robert Collins)
6017
6018
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

6075
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6076
-------------------
6077
6078
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6079
6080
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6081
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6082
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6083
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6084
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6085
will keep the same format.
6086
6087
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6088
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6089
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6090
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6091
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6092
6093
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6094
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6095
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6096
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6097
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6098
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6099
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6100
6101
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6102
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6103
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6104
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6105
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6106
6107
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6108
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6109
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6110
arrangement.
6111
6112
6113
IMPROVEMENTS:
6114
6115
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6116
convention. Paths now take the form::
6117
6118
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6119
or
6120
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6121
6122
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6123
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6124
6125
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6126
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6127
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6128
6129
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6130
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6131
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6132
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6133
6134
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6135
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6136
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6137
6138
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6139
6140
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6141
6142
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6143
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6144
commits::
6145
6146
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6147
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6148
| xargs bzr re-sign
6149
6150
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6151
6152
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6153
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6154
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6155
(Robert Collins)
6156
6157
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6158
6159
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6160
6161
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6162
'.moved'.
6163
6164
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6165
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6166
6167
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6168
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6169
Daniel Silverstone)
6170
6171
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6172
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6173
Martin Pool)
6174
6175
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6176
6177
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6178
6179
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6180
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6181
6182
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6183
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6184
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6185
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6186
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6187
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6188
6189
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6190
6191
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6192
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6193
(Robert Collins)
6194
6195
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6196
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6197
6198
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6199
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6200
6201
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6202
6203
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6204
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6205
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6206
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6207
specification by Martin Pool.
6208
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6209
6210
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6211
Belchenko)
6212
6213
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6214
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6215
6216
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6217
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6218
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6219
6220
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6221
6222
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6223
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6224
(Robert Collins)
6225
6226
CHANGES:
6227
6228
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6229
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6230
6231
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6232
6233
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6234
6235
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6236
(Olaf Conradi)
6237
6238
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6239
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6240
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6241
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6242
6243
INTERNALS:
6244
6245
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6246
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6247
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6248
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6249
6250
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6251
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6252
tried. (Martin Pool)
6253
6254
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6255
(Martin Pool)
6256
6257
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6258
6259
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6260
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6261
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6262
6263
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6264
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6265
6266
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6267
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6268
paths. (Robert Collins)
6269
6270
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6271
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6272
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6273
6274
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6275
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6276
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6277
6278
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6279
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6280
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6281
6282
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6283
(Olaf Conradi)
6284
6285
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6286
(Olaf Conradi)
6287
6288
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6289
6290
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6291
6292
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6293
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6294
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6295
(Robert Collins)
6296
6297
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6298
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6299
6300
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6301
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6302
check. (Robert Collins)
6303
6304
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6305
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6306
6307
TESTING:
6308
6309
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6310
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6311
6312
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6313
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6314
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6315
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6316
6317
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6318
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6319
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6320
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6321
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6322
6323
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6324
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6325
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6326
6327
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6328
6329
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6330
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

6333
------------------
6334
6335
CHANGES:
6336
6337
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6338
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6339
6340
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6341
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6342
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6343
(Johan Rydberg)
6344
6345
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6346
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6347
6348
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6349
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6350
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6351
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6352
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6353
6354
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6355
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6356
used. (Robert Collins)
6357
6358
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6359
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6360
(James Henstridge)
6361
6362
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6363
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6364
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6365
6366
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6367
ignore list.
6368
6369
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6370
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6371
6372
IMPROVEMENTS:
6373
6374
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6375
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6376
6377
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6378
6379
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6380
6381
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6382
tree. (Robert Collins)
6383
6384
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6385
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6386
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6387
(Robert Collins)
6388
6389
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6390
that they be kept.
6391
6392
* Tweaks to short log printing
6393
6394
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6395
(Aaron Bentley)
6396
6397
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6398
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6399
6400
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6401
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6402
6403
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6404
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6405
6406
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6407
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6408
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6409
6410
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6411
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6412
6413
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6414
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6415
requests.
6416
6417
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6418
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6419
6420
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6421
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6422
6423
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6424
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6425
6426
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6427
(Denys Duchier)
6428
6429
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6430
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6431
6432
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6433
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6434
6435
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6436
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6437
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6438
6439
BUG FIXES:
6440
6441
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6442
6443
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6444
6445
* Error when run with -OO
6446
6447
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6448
(Martin Pool)
6449
6450
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6451
6452
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6453
6454
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6455
ignored by diff and status
6456
6457
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6458
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6459
6460
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6461
6462
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6463
6464
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6465
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6466
6467
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6468
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6469
6470
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6471
(Harald Meland)
6472
6473
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
6474
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6475
6476
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
6477
6478
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
6479
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
6480
6481
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
6482
(Martin Pool)
6483
6484
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
6485
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
6486
6487
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
6488
6489
TESTING:
6490
6491
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
6492
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
6493
6494
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6495
6496
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6497
6498
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
6499
6500
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
6501
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
6502
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
6503
6504
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
6505
6506
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
6507
(John Arbash Meinel)
6508
6509
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
6510
6511
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
6512
If adding a new test script please add that to
6513
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
6514
6515
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
6516
imported. (Martin Pool)
6517
6518
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
6519
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
6520
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
6521
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
6522
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
6523
(Robert Collins)
6524
6525
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
6526
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
6527
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
6528
6529
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
6530
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
6531
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6532
6533
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
6534
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
6535
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
6536
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
6537
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
6538
(Robert Collins).
6539
6540
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
6541
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
6542
(Robert Collins).
6543
6544
INTERNALS:
6545
6546
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
6547
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
6548
6549
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
6550
function. (Robert Collins)
6551
6552
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
6553
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
6554
if needed). (Robert Collins)
6555
6556
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
6557
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
6558
(Robert Collins)
6559
6560
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
6561
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
6562
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
6563
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
6564
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
6565
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
6566
version. (Robert Collins)
6567
6568
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
6569
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
6570
6571
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
6572
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
6573
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
6574
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
6575
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
6576
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
6577
6578
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
6579
(Robert Collins)
6580
6581
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
6582
6583
add()
6584
commit()
6585
move()
6586
rename_one()
6587
unknowns()
6588
6589
(Robert Collins)
6590
6591
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
6592
6593
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
6594
6595
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
6596
Pool)
6597
6598
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
6599
query method. (Robert Collins)
6600
6601
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6602
(Denys Duchier)
6603
6604
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6605
(Michael Ellerman)
6606
6607
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6608
(Michael Ellerman)
6609
6610
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6611
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6612
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6613
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6614
6615
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6616
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6617
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6618
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6619
6620
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6621
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6622
6623
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
6624
------------------
6625
6626
IMPROVEMENTS:
6627
6628
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6629
(John A Meinel)
6630
6631
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6632
conflicts.
6633
(Aaron Bentley)
6634
6635
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6636
a separator, not ':'.
6637
(Aaron Bentley)
6638
6639
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6640
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6641
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6642
6643
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6644
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6645
(Robert Collins)
6646
6647
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6648
has been added that suppresses all output.
6649
6650
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6651
Adams.
6652
6653
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6654
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6655
6656
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6657
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6658
6659
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6660
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6661
6662
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6663
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6664
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6665
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6666
6667
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6668
6669
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6670
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6671
6672
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6673
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6674
6675
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6676
output directory, if one was supplied.
6677
6678
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6679
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6680
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6681
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6682
6683
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6684
6685
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6686
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6687
6688
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6689
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6690
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6691
6692
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6693
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6694
6695
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6696
(Aaron Bentley)
6697
6698
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6699
6700
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6701
6702
TESTING:
6703
6704
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6705
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6706
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6707
6708
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6709
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6710
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6711
6712
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6713
is given. (Martin Pool)
6714
6715
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6716
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6717
file. (Robert Collins)
6718
6719
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6720
(Martin Pool)
6721
6722
INTERNALS:
6723
6724
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6725
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6726
representation. (Martin Pool).
6727
6728
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6729
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6730
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6731
6732
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6733
(Robert Collins)
6734
6735
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6736
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6737
Magnus Therning.
6738
6739
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6740
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6741
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6742
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6743
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6744
6745
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6746
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6747
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6748
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6749
python path. (Robert Collins)
6750
6751
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6752
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6753
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6754
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6755
6756
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6757
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6758
6759
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6760
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6761
(Robert Collins)
6762
6763
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6764
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6765
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6766
6767
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6768
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6769
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6770
6771
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6772
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6773
6774
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6775
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6776
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6777
(Robert Collins)
6778
6779
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6780
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6781
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6782
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6783
(Robert Collins)
6784
6785
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6786
(Robert Collins)
6787
6788
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6789
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6790
(Robert Collins)
6791
6792
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6793
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6794
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6795
6796
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6797
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6798
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6799
6800
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6801
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6802
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6803
6804
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6805
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6806
6807
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6808
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6809
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6810
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6811
caller. (Robert Collins)
6812
6813
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6814
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6815
(Robert Collins).
6816
6817
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6818
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6819
(Aaron Bentley)
6820
6821
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6822
6823
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6824
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6825
6826
BUG FIXES:
6827
6828
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6829
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6830
6831
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6832
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6836
--------------------
6837
6838
BUG FIXES:
6839
6840
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6841
allow directories to be listed.
6842
6843
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6844
upgrading branch format.
6845
6846
PERFORMANCE:
6847
6848
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
6852
------------------
6853
6854
NOTES:
6855
6856
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6857
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6858
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6859
high-latency connections.
6860
6861
BUG FIXES:
6862
6863
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6864
Rob Weir.
6865
6866
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6867
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6868
6869
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6870
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6871
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6872
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6873
6874
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6875
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6876
6877
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6878
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6879
6880
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6881
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6882
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6883
6884
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6885
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6886
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6887
Robert Collins
6888
6889
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6890
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6891
6892
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6893
different partial views of history.
6894
6895
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6896
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6897
6898
IMPROVEMENTS:
6899
6900
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6901
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6902
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6903
6904
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6905
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6906
'bzr upgrade'.
6907
6908
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6909
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6910
6911
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6912
Niemeyer.
6913
6914
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6915
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6916
6917
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6918
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6919
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6920
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6921
6922
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6923
6924
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6925
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6926
Gustavo Niemeyer.
6927
6928
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6929
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6930
6931
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6932
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6933
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6934
6935
6936
INTERNALS:
6937
6938
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6939
for your viewing pleasure.
6940
6941
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6942
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6943
6944
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6945
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6946
handling of such circumstances.
6947
6948
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6949
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6950
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6951
6952
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6953
6954
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6955
we call them revisions not patches.
6956
6957
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6958
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6959
6960
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6961
giving the revision *of that file*.
6962
6963
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6964
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6965
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6966
6967
TESTING:
6968
6969
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6970
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6971
6972
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6973
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

BUG FIXES:
6980
6981
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6982
6983
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6984
(Robert Collins).
6985
6986
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6987
6988
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6989
6990
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6991
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6992
6993
IMPROVEMENTS:
6994
6995
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6996
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6997
6998
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6999
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7000
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7001
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7002
Robey Pointer
7003
7004
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7005
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7006
7007
INTERNALS:
7008
7009
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7010
7011
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7012
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7016
--------------------
7017
7018
IMPROVEMENTS:
7019
7020
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7021
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7022
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7023
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7024
Michael Ellerman.
7025
7026
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7027
(Nir Soffer)
7028
7029
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7030
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7031
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7032
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7033
for the operating system is still tried.
7034
7035
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7036
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7037
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7038
7039
7040
INTERNALS:
7041
7042
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7043
7044
BUG FIXES:
7045
7046
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7047
7048
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7049
branch.
7050
7051
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7052
read.
7053
7054
7055
PORTABILITY:
7056
7057
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.

CHANGES:
7096
7097
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7098
7099
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7100
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7101
--help themselves.
7102
7103
7104
LIBRARY:

* Faster working tree operations.
55
7153
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
56
7154
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
57
7155
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
58
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
7156
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
59
7157
standard plugins directory.
