New Features
17
************
18
19
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
20
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
21
22
Bug Fixes
23
*********
24
25
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
26
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
27
28
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
29
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
30
which is not installed any more" error.
31
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
32
33
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
34
that are not part of the ancestry anymore.
35
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
36
37
Improvements
38
************
39
40
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
41
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
42
(Robert Collins, #530265)
43
44
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
45
(Andrew Bennetts)
46
47
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
48
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
49
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
50
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
51
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
52
53
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
54
less.)

API Changes
61
***********
62
63
Internals
64
*********
65
66
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
67
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
68
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
69
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.

Compatibility Breaks
82
********************
83
84
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
85
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
86
87
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
88
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
89
(Martin Pool)
90
91
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
92
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
93
94
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
95
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
96
97
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
98
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
99
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
100
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
101
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
102
(Vincent Ladeuil)
103
104
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
105
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
106
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
107
108
New Features
109
************
110
111
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
112
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
113
114
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
115
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
116
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
117
118
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
119
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
120
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
121
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
122
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
123
124
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
125
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
126
#392248)
127
128
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
129
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
131
132
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
133
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
134
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
135
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
136
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
138
139
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
140
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
141
(Jelmer Vernooij)
142
143
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
144
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
145
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
146
(Vincent Ladeuil)
147
148
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
149
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
150
151
Bug Fixes
152
*********
153
154
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
155
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
156
157
* Allow additional arguments to
158
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
159
160
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
161
(Michal Junák, #511987)
162
163
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
164
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
165
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
166
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
167
168
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
170
171
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
172
(Martin Pool, #331095)
173
174
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
175
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
176
177
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
179
180
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
181
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
182
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
183
184
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
185
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
186
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
187
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
188
(Robert Collins, #396261)
189
190
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
191
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
192
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
193
194
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
195
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
196
197
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
198
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
200
201
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
202
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
203
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
204
205
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
206
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
207
``add``.
208
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
209
210
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
211
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
212
213
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
214
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
215
(Martin Pool, #528722)
216
217
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
218
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
219
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
220
221
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
223
224
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
225
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
226
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
227
228
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
229
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
230
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
231
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
232
``sock.sendall``).
233
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
234
235
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
236
deletion is involved.
237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
238
239
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
240
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
241
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
242
243
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
244
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
245
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
246
247
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
248
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
249
250
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
251
the debugger won't kill the session.
252
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
253
254
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
255
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
256
257
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
258
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
259
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
260
261
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
262
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
263
better with sudo.
264
(Parth Malwankar, #376388)
265
266
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
267
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
268
269
API Changes
270
***********
271
272
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
273
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
274
(Jelmer Vernooij)
275
276
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
277
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
278
279
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
280
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
281
282
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
283
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
284
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
285
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
286
287
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
288
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
289
to be done separately.
290
(Martin Pool, #507710)
291
292
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
293
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
294
(Jelmer Vernooij)
295
296
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
297
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
298
299
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
300
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
301
302
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
303
(Neil Santos)
304
305
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
306
(Martin Pool)
307
308
Internals
309
*********
310
311
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
312
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
313
314
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
315
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
316
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
317
318
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
319
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
320
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
321
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
322
(Robert Collins)
323
324
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
325
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
326
327
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
328
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
329
330
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
331
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
332
(Jelmer Vernooij)
333
334
Testing
335
*******
336
337
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
338
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
339
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
340
341
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
342
(Robert Collins)
343
344
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
345
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
346
(Vincent Ladeuil)
347
348
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
349
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
350
dependency regressions.
351
(Martin Pool)
352
353
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
354
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
355
356
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
357
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
358
359
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
360
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
361
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
362
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
363
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
364
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
365
366
bzr 2.1.1
367
#########
368
369
:2.1.1: 2010-03-24
370
371
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
372
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
373
374
Bug Fixes
375
*********
376
377
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
378
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
379
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
380
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
381
382
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
383
(Martin Pool, #331095)
384
385
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
386
387
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
389
390
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
391
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
392
393
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
394
395
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
396
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
397
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
398
399
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
400
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
401
402
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
403
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
404
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)

407
*************
408
409

410
411
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
412

* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
414
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)

API Changes
417
***********
418
419
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
420
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
421
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.

427
428
:Codename: Strasbourg
429
:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
430
431
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
432
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
433
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
434
435
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
436
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
437
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
438
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
439
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
440
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
441
442
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

*********
446
447
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
449
450
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
451
(Martin Pool, #513432)
452
453
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
454
when it encounters conflicts.
455
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
456
457
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
458
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
459
460
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
461
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
462
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
463
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
464
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
465
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
466
467
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
468
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
469
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

Improvements

************
473
474
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer

476
477
API Changes
478
***********
479
480
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
481
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
482
(Jelmer Vernooij)
483
484
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
485
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
486
(Jelmer Vernooij)
487
488
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
489
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
490
491
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
492
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
493
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
494
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
495
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
496
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
497
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
498
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
499
500
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
501
regressions.
502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
503
504
Internals
505
*********
506
507
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
508
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
509
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
510
in ``do_merge``.
511
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
512
513
API Changes
514
***********
515
516
* The ``remove_index`` method of
517
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
518
argument. This argument was always ignored.

############
523
524
:Codename: after the bubbles
525
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
526
527
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
528
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
529
530
API Changes
531
***********
532
533
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
534
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
535
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
536
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
537
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
538
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

545
:Codename: the 'new' stable
546
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
547
548
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
549
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
550
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
551
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
552
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
553
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
554
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
555
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
556
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
557
558
559
New Features
560
************
561
562
* Add bug information to log output when available.
563
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
564
565
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
566
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
567
particular files.
568
569
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
570
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
571
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
572
(Andrew Bennetts)
573
574
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
575
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
576
577
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
578
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
579
580
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
581
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
582
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
583
584
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
585
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
586
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
587
Martin Pool, #45719)
588
589
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
590
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
591
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
592
593
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
594
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
595
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
596
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
597
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
598
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
599
600
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
601
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
602
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
603
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
604
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
605
606
Bug Fixes
607
*********
608
609
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
610
user-specified commit message editor.
611
(Martin Pool, #504842)
612
613
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
614
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
615
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
616
617
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
618
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
619
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
620
621
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
622
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
623
624
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
625
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
626
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
627
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
628
another process already removed the file.
629
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
630
631
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
632
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
633
634
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
635
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
636
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
637
638
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
639
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
640
641
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
643
644
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
646
647
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
648
(Martin Pool, #320035)
649
650
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
651
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
652
depended on this behaviour.
653
(Martin Pool, #499757)
654
655
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
656
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
657
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
658
should appear up-to-date.)
659
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
660
661
Improvements
662
************
663
664
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
665
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
666
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
667
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
668
669
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
670
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
671
672
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
673
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
674
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
675
676
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
677
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
678
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
679
680
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
681
(__monty__, #257170)
682
683
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
684
Bazaar is doing network IO.
685
(Martin Pool)

687
Documentation
688
*************
689
690
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
691
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
692
693
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
694
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
695
696
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
697
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
698
699
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
700
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
701
702
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
703
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
704
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
705
706
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
707
(Ian Clatworthy)
708
709
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
710
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
711
(Ian Clatworthy)
712
713
API Changes
714
***********
715
716
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
717
(Andrew Bennetts)
718
719
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
720
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
721
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
722
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
723
724
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
725
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
726
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
727
728
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
729
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
730
731
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
732
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
733
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
734
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
735
736
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
737
parameter.
738
739
Internals
740
*********
741
742
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
743
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
744
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
745
746
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
747
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
748
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
749
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
750
751
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
752
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
753
754
Testing
755
*******
756
757
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
758
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
759
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
760
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
761
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
762
763
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
764
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
765
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
766
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
767
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
768
suite. (Robert Collins)
769
770
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
771
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
772
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
773
774
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
775
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

790
791
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.

If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
793
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.

799
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
800
a lock.
801
(Martin Pool, #185103)
802
803
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
804
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
805
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
806
repositories.
807
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)

810
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
811
812
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
813
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
814
815
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``

error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
817
``UnboundLocalError``.
818
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)

820
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
821
version number along with rest of the help text.
822
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
823
824

:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
839
840
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
841
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
842
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
843
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
844
845
846
Bug Fixes
847
*********
848
849
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
850
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
851
852
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
853
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
854
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
855
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
856
857
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
858
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
859
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
860
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
861
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
862
863
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
864
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
865
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
866
867
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
868
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
869
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
870
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
871
872
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
873
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
874
875
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
876
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
877
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
878
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
879
(Martin Pool, #456077)
880
881
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
882
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
883
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
884
users, rather than something nicer.
885
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
886
887
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
888
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
889
890
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
891

* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
895
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
896
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
897
898
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
899
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
900
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
901
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
902
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
903
904
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
905
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
906
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)

* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
912
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``

rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
914

923
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
924
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
925
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
926
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
927
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
928
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
932
********************
933
934
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
935
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
936
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
937
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
938
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)

* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
944
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
945
946
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
947
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
948
949
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
950
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
951
952
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
953
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
954
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
955
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
956
lengths.
957
(Vincent Ladeuil)

968
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
969
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
970
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
971
972
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
973
and issues a warning.
974
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
975
976
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
977
978
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
979
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
980
981
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
982
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
983
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
984
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)

1001
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1002
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1003
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1004
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1005
windows too.

* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1010
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1011
1012
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1013
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1014
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1015
1016
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1017
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1018
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1019
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1020
1021
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1022
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1023
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1024
1025
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1026
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1027
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1028
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)

1048
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1049
Hudson)
1050
1051
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1052
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1053
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1054
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't

* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1077
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1078
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1079
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1080
1081
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1082
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1083
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1084
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1085
(John Arbash Meinel)
1086
1087
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1088
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1089
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1090
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1091
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp

:Codename: after sprint recovery
1134
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1135
1136
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1137
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1138
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1139
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1140
1141
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1142
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1143
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1144

* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1164
1165
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1166
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1167
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1168
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1169
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1170
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1171
1172
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1173
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1174
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1175
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)

* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1178
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)

* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1181
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1182
1183
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1184
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1185
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1186
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1187
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1188
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1189
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.

* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same

* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.

1227
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows

parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1229
1230
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1231
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1232
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1233
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)

* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1236
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1237
1238
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1239
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1240
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1241
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1242
1243
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1244
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is

1255
1256
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1257
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1258
1259
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1260
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1261
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1262
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1263
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1264
many operations.
1265
1266
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1267
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1268
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1269
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1270
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1271
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)

* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1277
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1278
1279
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1280
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1281
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1282
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)

1284
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1285
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1286
1287
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1288
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1289
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1290
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)

* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1329
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1330
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1331
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1332
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1333
(John Arbash Meinel)
1334
1335
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1336
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1337
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1338
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1339
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1340
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1341
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1342
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1343
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1344
1345
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1346
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1347
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1348
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1349
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1350
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1351
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1352
1353
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1354
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1355
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1356
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 2.1.0b1
1407
###########
1408
1409
:Codename: While the cat is away
1410
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1411
1412
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1413
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1414
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1415
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1416
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1417
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1418
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1419
1420
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1421
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1422
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1423
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
1427
************
1428
1429
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1430
(Brian de Alwis)
1431
1432
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1433
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1434
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1435
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1436
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1437
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1438
1439
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1440
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1441
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1442
1443
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1444
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1445
method.
1446
1447
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1448
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1449
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1450
1451
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1452
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1453
(Arkanes)
1454
1455
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1456
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
1460
*********
1461
1462
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1463
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1464
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1465
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1466
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1467
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1468
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1469
1470
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1471
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1472
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1473
1474
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1475
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1476
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1478
1479
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1480
merges are present in the working tree.
1481
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1482
1483
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1484
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1485
1486
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1487
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1488
1489
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1491
1492
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1493
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1495
1496
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1497
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1498
1499
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1500
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1501
1502
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1504
1505
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1506
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.

Improvements
1510
************
1511
1512
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1513
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1514
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1515
1516
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1517
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1518
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1519
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1520
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1521
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1522

1523
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1524
1525
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1526
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1527
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1528
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)

1537
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)

API Changes
1540
***********
1541
1542
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1543
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1544
1545
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1546
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1547
1548
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1549
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1550
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1551
1552
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1553
(Martin Pool)
1554
1555
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1556
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1557
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1558
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1559
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1560
been deprecated.
1561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1562
1563
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1564
(Martin Pool)
1565
1566
Internals
1567
*********
1568
1569
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1570
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1571
(Andrew Bennetts)
1572
1573
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1574
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1575
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1576
(John Arbash Meinel)
1577
1578
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1579
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1580
(Robert Collins)
1581
1582
Testing
1583
*******
1584
1585
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1586
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1587
1588
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1589
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1590
1591
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1592
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1593
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1594
1595
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1596
a long time.
1597
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1598
1599
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1600
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1601
1602
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1603
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1604
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1605
1606
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1607
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1608
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1609
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1610
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1611
1612
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1613
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1614
1615
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1616
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)

The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It

Bug Fixes
1631
*********
1632
1633
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1634
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1635
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1636
1637
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1638
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1639
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1640
1641
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1642
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1643
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1644
1645
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1646
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1647
1648
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1649
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1650
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1651
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1652
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1653
1654
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1655
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1656
1657
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1658
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1659
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1660
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1661
1662
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1663
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1664
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1665
1666
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1667
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1668
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1669
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1670
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1671
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1672
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1673
1674
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1675
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1676
1677
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1678
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1679
to download the entire cix file many times.
1680
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1681
1682
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1683
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)

1700
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1701
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1702
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1703
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1704
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1705
existing projects.)
1706
1707
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1708
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1709
1710
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1711
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
1712
months or until the following stable release.

Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
1715
******************************
1716
1717
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
1718
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
1719
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles

micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes

*********
1737
1738
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1739
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1740
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1741
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1742
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1743
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1744
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1745
1746
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1747
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1748
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1749
1750
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1751
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1752
1753
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1754
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1755
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1756
1757
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1758
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1759
1760
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
1761
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
1762
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
1763
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
1764
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
1765
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
1766
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
1767
1768
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
1769
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
1770
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
1771
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
1772
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
1773
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
1774
1775
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
1776
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
1777
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1778
1779
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
1780
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
1781
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1782
1783
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
1784
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
1785
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
1786
1787
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1788
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1789
1790
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
1791
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
1792

********************
1825
1826
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
1827
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
1828
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
1829
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
1830
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)

1832
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
1833

1849
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
1850
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
1851
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
1852
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the

* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
1882
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
1883
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by

* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
1895
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
1896
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
1897
1898
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
1899
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
1900
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
1901
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
1902
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits

1985
1986
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
1987
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
1988
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
1990
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)

(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2000
2001
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2002
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2003
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2004
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2005
2006
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2007
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2008
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2009
2010
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2011
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2012
2013
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2014
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2015
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2016
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)

2024
2025
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2026
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2027
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2028
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2029
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2030
2031
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2032
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2033
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.

2046
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2047
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2048
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2049
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2050
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2051
2052

friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2055
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)

This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2087
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2088
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2089
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2090
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2091
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2092
2093
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,

*********
2111
2112
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2113
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2114
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2115
2116
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2117
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2118
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2119
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2120
2121
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2122
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2123
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2124
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2125
2126
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2127
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2128
2129
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2130
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2131
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2132
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2133
2134
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2135
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2136
2137
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2138
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2139
2140
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2141
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2142
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2143
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2144
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2145
2146
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2147
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2148
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2149
2150
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2151
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2152
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2153
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2154
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2155
2156
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2157
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2158
2159
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2160
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2161
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2162
2163

2164
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2165
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2166

* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2168
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2169
2170
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2171
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2172
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2173
2174
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2175
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)

2177
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2178

2181
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2182
2183
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2184
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2185
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2186
2187
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2188
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2189
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2190
2191
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2192
2193
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2194
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2195
2196
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2197
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2198
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2199
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2200
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2201
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2202
2203
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2204
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2205
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2206
2207
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2208
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2209
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2210
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2211
2212
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2213
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2214
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2215
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2216
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)

2229
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2230
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2231
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)

writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2250
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2251
2252
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2253
(Aaron Bentley)
2254
2255
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2256

* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2259
UIFactory.
2260
(Martin Pool)
2261
2262
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2263
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)

2265
Internals
2266
*********
2267
2268
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2269
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2270
paths. (Robert Collins)
2271
2272
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2273
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2274
2275
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2276
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2277
disk. (Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2280
it. (Robert Collins)
2281
2282
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2283
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.

* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2294
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2295
2296
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2297
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2298
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2299
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2300
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2301
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2323
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2324
stable".
2325
2326
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2327
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2328
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2329
annoying progress bar artifacts.

Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2333
*********************************
2334
2335
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2336
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2337
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2338
2339
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2340
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2341
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2342

Compatibility Breaks
2348
********************
2349
2350
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2351
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2352
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.

New Features
2357
************
2358
2359
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2360
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2361
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2362
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2363
2364
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2365
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2366
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2367
2368
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2369
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2370
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2371
behavior.
2372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2373
2374
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2375
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2376
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2377
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

*********
2382
2383
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2384
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2385
2386
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2387
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2388
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2389
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2390
2391
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2392
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2393
2394
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2395
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2396
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2397
2398
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2399
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2400
2401
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2402
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2403
2404
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2405
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2406
2407
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2408
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2409
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2410
2411
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2412
(Ian Clatworthy)
2413
2414
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2415
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2416
2417
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2418
of a remote repository.
2419
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2420
2421
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2422
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2423
(Andrew Bennetts)
2424
2425
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2426
transforms.
2427
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2428
2429
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2430
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2431
2432
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2433
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2434
2435
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2436
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2437
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2438
2439
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2440
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2441
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2442
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2443
(John Arbash Meinel)
2444
2445
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2446
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2447
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2448
2449
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2450
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2451
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2452
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2453
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2454
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2455
2456
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2457
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2458
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2459
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2460
activity display respectively.
2461
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2462
2463
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2464
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2465
2466
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2467
(Martin Pool)
2468
2469
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.

Internals
2474
*********
2475
2476
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2477
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2478
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2479
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2480
2481
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2482
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2483
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2484
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2485
(Robert Collins)
2486
2487
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2488
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2489
2490
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2491
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2492
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2493
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2494
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2495
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2496
2497
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2498
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2499
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2500
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2501
2502
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2503
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2504
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2505
(John Arbash Meinel)
2506
2507
2508
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2509
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2510
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2511
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2512
2513
2514
Improvements
2515
************
2516
2517
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2518
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2519
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2520
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2521
2522
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2523
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2524
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2525
2526
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2527
(Benoît PIERRE)
2528
2529
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2530
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2531
2532
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2533
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2534
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2535
2536
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2537
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2538
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2539
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2540
2541
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2542

2544
Documentation
2545
*************
2546
2547
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2548
formatting in the user reference.
2549
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2550
2551
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.

API Changes
2555
***********
2556
2557
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2558
(Martin Pool)
2559
2560
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2561
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2562
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

##########

:Released: 2009-06-26
2569
2570
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2571
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2572
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2573
intermittently.
2574
2575
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2576
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2577
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2578
2579
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2580
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2581
2582
Bug Fixes
2583
*********
2584
2585
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2586
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2587
2588
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2589
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2590
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2591
2592
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2593
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2594
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2595
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2596
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2597
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2598
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2599
2600
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2601
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2602
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2603
2604
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2605
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2606
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2607
2608
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2609
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2610
that. (Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2613
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2614
repository. (Robert Collins)
2615
2616
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2617
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2618
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2619
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
2660
************
2661
2662
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2663
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2664
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2665
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2666
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2667
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2668
in bzr 2.0.
2669
2670
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2671
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2672
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2673
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2674
2675
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2676
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2677
2678
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2679
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2680
2681
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2682
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2683
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2684
2685
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2686
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)

Improvements
2689
************
2690
2691
2692
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2693
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2694
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2695
2696
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2697
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2698
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2699
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2700
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2701
2702
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2703
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2704
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2705
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2706
2707
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2708
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)

*********
2722
2723
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
2724
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
2725
2726
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
2727
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
2728
2729
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2730
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2731
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
2732
2733
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2734
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2735
2736
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2737
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2738
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2739
2740
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2741
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
2742
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
2743
(John Arbash Meinel)
2744
2745
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
2746
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
2747
2748
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
2749
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
2750
2751
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2752
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2753
2754
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2755
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2756
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2757
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2758
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
2759
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
2760
bug-free) methods.
2761
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
2762
2763
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
2764
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
2765
2766
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
2767
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
2768
2769
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
2770
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
2771
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
2772
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
2773
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
2774
2775
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2776
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
2777
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
2778
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

2869
2870
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
2871

* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
2921
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
2922
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
2923

* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
2944
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2945
2946
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2947
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2948
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2949
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2950
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2951
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2952
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2953
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2954
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2955
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2956
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2957
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2958
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2959
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
2960
2961
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
2962
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.

* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
2979

2989
encoding. (Robert Collins)
2990
2991
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
2992
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
2993
(Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
2996
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
2997
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
2998
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
2999
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3000
3001
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3002
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3003
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3004
3005
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3006
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3007
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3008
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3009
3010
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3011
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3012
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3013
3014
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3015
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3016
3017
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3018
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3019
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3020
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3021
3022
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3023
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3024
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3025
3026
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3027
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3028
3029
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3030
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3031
branches. (Robert Collins)
3032
3033
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3034
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)

rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3164
3165
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3166
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3167
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3168
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3169
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3170
3171
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3172
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3173
(Ian Clatworthy)
3174
3175
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3176
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3177
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3178
3179
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3180
(Ian Clatworthy)
3181
3182
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3183
(Ian Clatworthy)
3184
3185
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3186
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3187
3188
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3189
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3190
3191
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3192
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3193
3194
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3195
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3196
#294479)
3197
3198
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3199
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3200
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3203
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3204
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3205
(Ian Clatworthy)
3206
3207
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3208
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3209
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3210
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3211
3212
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3213
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3214
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3215
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3216
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3217
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3218
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3219
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3220
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

Bug Fixes
3226
*********
3227
3228
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3229
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3230
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3231
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3232
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3233
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3234
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3237
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3238
3239
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3240
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3241
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3242
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3243
3244
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3245
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3246
3247
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3248
3249
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3250
#313028)
3251
3252
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3253
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3254
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3255
3256
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3257
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3258
3259
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3260
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3261
3262
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3263
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3264
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3265
3266
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3267
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3268
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3269
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3270
3271
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3272
3273
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3275
3276
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3277
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3278
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3279
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3280
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3281
3282
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3283
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3284
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3285
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3286
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3287
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3288
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3289
3290
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3291
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3292
3293
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3294
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3295
(Andrea Bolognani)
3296
3297
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3298
(James Westby, #341558)

3300
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3301
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)

* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3310
3311
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3312

API Changes
3317
***********
3318
3319
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3320
(Martin Pool)
3321
3322
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3323
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3324
(Robert Collins)
3325
3326
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3327
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3328
(Jelmer Vernooij)
3329
3330
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3331
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3332
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3333
3334
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3335
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3336
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3337
3338
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3339
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3340
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3341
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3342
(Ian Clatworthy)
3343
3344
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3345
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3346
(Jean-Francois Roy)
3347
3348
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3349
(Martin Pool)
3350
3351
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3352
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3353
3354
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3355
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3356
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3357
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3360
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3361
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3362
3363
Testing
3364
*******
3365
3366
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3367
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3368
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3369
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3370
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3371
3372
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3374
3375
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3376
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3377
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3378
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3379
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3380
3381
Internals
3382
*********
3383
3384
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3385
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3386
3387
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3388
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3389
3390
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3391
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3392
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3393
3394
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3395
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3396
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3397
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3398
3399
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3400
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3401
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3402
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3403
3404
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3405
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3406
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3407
3408
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3409
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3410
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3411
3412
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3413
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3414
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3415
3416
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3417
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3418
(Robert Collins)
3419
3420
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3421
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3422
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3423
3424
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3425
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3426
3427
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3428
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3429
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3430
3431
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3432
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3433
(Jelmer Vernooij)
3434
3435
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3436
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3437
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3438
3439
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3440
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3441
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3442
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3443
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3444
3445
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3446
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3447
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3448
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3449
3450
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3451
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3452
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3453
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3454
3455
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3456
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3457
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3458
3459
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3460
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3461
(Andrew Bennetts)
3462
3463
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3464
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3465
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3466
3467
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3468
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3469
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3470
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3471
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3472
3473
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3474
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3475
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3476
Vincent Ladeuil)
3477
3478
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3479
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3480
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3481
desired. (Robert Collins)
3482
3483
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3484
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3485
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3486
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3487
3488
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3489
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3490
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3507
*****************************
3508
3509
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3510
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3511
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3512
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3513
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3514
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3515
appeared now.

* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3567
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3568
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)

* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3574
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3575
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.

Improvements
3597
************
3598
3599
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3600
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3601
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3602
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3603
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3604
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3605

3606
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.

* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3610
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3611
3612
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3613
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3614
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3615
3616
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3617
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3618
3619
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3620
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3621
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3622
(Ian Clatworthy)
3623
3624
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3625
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3626
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3627
3628
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3629
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3630
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3631
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3632
3633
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3634
(Jelmer Vernooij)
3635
3636
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3637
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3638
3639
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3640
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3641
3642
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3643
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3644
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3645
3646
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)

Bug Fixes
3649
*********
3650
3651
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3652
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3653
3654
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3655
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3656
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3657
3658
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3659
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3661
3662
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3663
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3664
3665
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3666
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3667
Vernooij, #315048)
3668
3669
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3670
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3671
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3672
3673
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3674
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3675
3676
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3677
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3678
3679
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3680
(James Westby, #174539)
3681
3682
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3683
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3684
3685
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3686
error branching from old repositories.
3687
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3688
3689
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3690
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3691
3692
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3693
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3694
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3695
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3696
3697
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3698
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3699
#334808)
3700
3701
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3702
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3703
3704
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3705
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3706
3707
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3708
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3709
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3710
3711
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3712
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)

3720
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3721
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3722
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3723
(Ian Clatworthy)
3724
3725
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3726
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3727
3728
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
3732
***********
3733
3734
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3735
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3736
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3737
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3738
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3739
3740
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3741
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3742
3743
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3744
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3745
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3746
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3747
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3748
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3749
3750
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3751
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3752
3753
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3754
"author" argument being deprecated.
3755
3756
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3757
3758
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
3759
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
3760
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
3761
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
3762
3763
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
3764
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
3765
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
3766
3767
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
3768
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
3769
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
3770
3771
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
3772
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
3773
3774
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
3775
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
3776
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
3777
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
3778
3779
Internals
3780
*********
3781
3782
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
3783
free of virtual file system methods.
3784
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3785
3786
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
3787
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
3788
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
3789
3790
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
3791
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
3792
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
3793
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
3794
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
3795
(Robert Collins, #334187)
3796
3797
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
3798
3799
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
3800
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
3801
3802
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
3803
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
3804
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
3805
stream the operation.
3806
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3807
3808
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
3809
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
3810
3811
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
3812
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
3813
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
3814
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
3815
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3816
3817
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
3818
branch object. (Robert Collins)
3819
3820
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
3821
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
3822
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
3823
3824
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
3825
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
3826
(Robert Collins)
3827
3828
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
3829
(Robert Collins)
3830
3831
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
3832
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
3833
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3834
3835
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
3836
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
3837
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3838
3839
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
3840
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
3841
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3842
3843
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
3844
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
3845
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3846
3847
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
3848
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
3849
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
3850
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
3851
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
3852
3853
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
3854
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
3855
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
3856
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
3857
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
3858
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
3859
3860
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
3861
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
3862
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
3863
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
3864
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3865
3866
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
3867
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3868
3869
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
3870
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
3871
3872
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
3873
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
3874
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
3875
to access private data in record to obtain content more
3876
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
3879
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
3891
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
3892
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
3893
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
3894
by showing the rate of network IO.

Changes from RC1 to Final
3897
*************************
3898
3899
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
3900
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
3901
3902
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
3903
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3904
3905
Compatibility Breaks
3906
********************
3907
3908
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
3909
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
3910
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
3911
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
3912
3913
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
3914
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
3915
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
3916
(Ian Clatworthy)
3917
3918
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
3919
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
3920
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
3921
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3922
3923
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
3924
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
3925
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
3926
(Ian Clatworthy)
3927
3928
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3929
3930
New Features
3931
************
3932
3933
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3934
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3935
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3936
(Marius Kruger)
3937
3938
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3939
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3940
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3941
3942
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3943
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3944
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3945
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3946
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3947
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3948
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3949
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3950
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3951
(Ian Clatworthy)
3952
3953
Improvements
3954
************
3955
3956
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3957
(Daniel Watkins)
3958
3959
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3960
(Marius Kruger)
3961
3962
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3963
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3964
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3965
3966
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3967
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3968
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3969
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3970
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3971
3972
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3973
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3974
3975
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3976
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3977
level for better precision.
3978
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3979
3980
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3981
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3982
3983
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3984
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3985
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
3986
3987
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
3988
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
3989
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
3990
(Andrew Bennetts)
3991
3992
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
3993
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
3994
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)

Bug Fixes
3997
*********
3998
3999
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4000
anymore.
4001
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4002
4003
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4004
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4005
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4006
4007
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4008
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4009
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4010
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4011
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4012
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4013
4014
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4015
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4016
4017
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4018
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4019
4020
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4021
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4022
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4023
4024
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4025
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4026
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4027
(Andrew Bennetts)
4028
4029
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4030
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4031
4032
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4033
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4034
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4035
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4036
4037
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4038
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4039
handled.
4040
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)

4065
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4066
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of

revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4068
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4069

* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4078
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4079
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4080
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4081
compile buffers, are such an example).

(Vincent Ladeuil)
4083

4085
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4086
(Ian Clatworthy)
4087
4088
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4089
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4090
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4091
(Ian Clatworthy)

* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4094
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)

4107
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4108
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4109
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4110
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4111
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4112
4113
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4114
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4115
advice.
4116
4117
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4118
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

4143
New Features
4144
************
4145
4146
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4147
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4148
4149
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4150
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4151
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4152
implement other plugins.
4153
(Vincent Ladeuil)

4155
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.

Improvements
4159
************
4160
4161
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4162
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4163
4164
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4165
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4166
4167
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4168
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4169
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4170
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4171
(Mark Hammond)
4172
4173
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4174
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4175
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4176
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4177
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4178
4179
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4180
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4181
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4182
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4183
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

4187
4188
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4189
control directory. (#139691)
4190
4191
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4192
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4193
4194
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4195
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4196
4197
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4198
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4199
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4200

* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4202
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)

4217
4218
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4219
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4220
4221
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4222
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4223
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4224
4225
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4226
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4227
in the appropriate sections.
4228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4229
4230
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4231
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4232
(John Arbash meinel)
4233
4234
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4235

4240
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4241

4242
4243
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4244

4245
work better with how it splits its requests.

4273
4274
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4275
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4276
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4277
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4278
4279
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4280
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4281
4282
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4283
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4284
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4285
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4286
4287
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4288
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4289
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4290
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4291
4292

4293
*******
4294
4295
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4296
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4297
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4298
4299
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4300
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4301
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4302
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4303
4304
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4305
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4306
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.

4313
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4314
(John Arbash Meinel)
4315
4316
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4317
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4318
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4319
(John Arbash Meinel)
4320
4321
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4322
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4323
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4324
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4325
4326
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4327
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4328
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4329
4330
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4331
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4332
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4333
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4334
4335
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4336
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4337
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4338
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4339
(John Arbash Meinel)
4340
4341
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4342
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4343
4344
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4345
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4346
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4347
4348
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4349
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4350
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4351
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4352
4353
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4354
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4355
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4356
(John Arbash Meinel)
4357
4358
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4359
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4360
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4361
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4362
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4363
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4364
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4365
4366
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4367
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4377
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4378
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4379
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4380
implementation.

4385
*********
4386
4387
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the

4389
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4390

4392
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4393
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4394
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4395
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4396
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

4404
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4405
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4406
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4407
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4408
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

4416
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
4420
************
4421
4422
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4423
history just to set the last revision info.
4424
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4425
4426
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4427
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4428
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4429
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4430
4431
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4432
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4433
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4434
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4435
(John Arbash Meinel)
4436
4437
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4438
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4439
4440
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4441
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4442
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4443
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4444
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4445
4446
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4447
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4448
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4449
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes

*********
4453
4454
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4455
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4456
4457
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4458
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4459
4460
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4461
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4462
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4463
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4464
4465
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4466
starting with a dotted revno.
4467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4468
4469
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4470
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4471
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4472
4473
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4474
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4475
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4476
4477
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4478
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4479
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4480
4481
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4482
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4483
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4484
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4485
4486
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4487
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4488
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4489
4490
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

4494
***********
4495
4496
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4497
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4498
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4499
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4500
4501
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4502
have changed incompatibly.
4503
4504
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4505
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4506
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4507
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4508
don't need to change.
4509
4510
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default

creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4530
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4531
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4532
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

New Features
4553
************
4554
4555
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4556
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4557
4558
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4559
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4560
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4561
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4562
4563
Improvements
4564
************
4565
4566
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4567
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4568
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4569
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4570
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4571
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4572
4573
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4574
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4575
4576
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4577
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4578
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4579
4580
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4581
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4582
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4583
(Andrew Bennetts)
4584
4585
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4586
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4587
4588
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4589
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4590
4591
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4592
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4593
4594
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4595
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4596
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4597
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4598
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4599
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4600
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4601
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4602
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4603
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4604
4605
Bug Fixes
4606
*********
4607
4608
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4609
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4610
4611
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4612
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4613
4614
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4615
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4616
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4617
4618
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4619
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4620
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4621
4622
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4623
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4624
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4625
4626
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4627
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4628
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4629
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4630
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4631
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4632
4633
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4634
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4635
4636
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4637
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4638
4639
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4640
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4641
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4642
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4643
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4644
4645
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4646
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4647
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4673
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4674
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The

Changes
4697
*******
4698
4699
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4700
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4701
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4702
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4703
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4704
4705
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4706
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4707
4708
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4709
server. (Marius Kruger)
4710
4711
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4712
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4713
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4714
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4715
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4716
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

Features
4719
********
4720
4721
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
4722
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
4723
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
4724

4727
Improvements
4728
************
4729
4730
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4731
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4732
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4733
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4734
4735
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4736
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4737
(Daniel Watkins)
4738
4739
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4740
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4741
(Andrew Bennetts)
4742
4743
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.

4748
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4749
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4750
4751
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4752
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4753
4754
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4755
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4756
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4757
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4758
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
4759
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
4760
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
4761
operations. (Robert Collins)
4762
4763
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
4764
4765
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
4766
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
4767
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)

* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
4805
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4806
4807
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
4808
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
4809
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
4810
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)

* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5029
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5030
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5031
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5032
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5033
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5034
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5035
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5036
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5037
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

:Released: 2008-08-29
5193
5194
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5195
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5196
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5197
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5198
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5199
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5200
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5201
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5202
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5203
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5204
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5205
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

5209
5210
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5211
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5212
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5213
start of the string (causing more copies).
5214
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5215
especially for projects with large files.
5216
(John Arbash Meinel)
5217
5218
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5219
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5220
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5221
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5222
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5223
5224
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5225
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5226
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5227
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5228
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5238
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5239
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5240
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5241
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5242
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5243
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5244
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5245
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5453
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve

need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5463
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round

5495
:Released: 2008-07-17
5496
5497
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5498
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5499
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5500
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5501
bug fixes.
5502
5503
Features
5504
********
5505
5506
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5507
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5508
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5509
5510
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5511
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5512
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5513
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5514
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5515
(Ian Clatworthy)
5516
5517
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5518
5519
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5520
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5521
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5522
(Robert Collins)
5523
5524
Improvements
5525
************
5526
5527
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5528
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5529
(Martin Pool)
5530
5531
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5532
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5533
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5534
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5535
5536
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5537
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5538
(Christophe Troestler)
5539
5540
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5541
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5542
5543
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5544
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5545
faster. The new request method name is
5546
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5547
5548
Bug Fixes
5549
*********
5550
5551
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5552
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5553
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5554
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5555
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5556
5557
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5558
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5559
5560
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5561
requires a branch to be present.
5562
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5563
5564
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5565
loaded.
5566
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5567
5568
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5569
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5570
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5571
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5572
5573
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5574
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5575
5576
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5577
name contains an @.
5578
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5579
5580
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5581
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5582
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5583
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5584
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5585
5586
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5587
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5588
5589
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5590
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5591
5592
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5593
Cygwin Bazaar.
5594
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5595
5596
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5597
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5598
5599
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.

*******
5613
5614
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5615
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5616
5617
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5618
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5619
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5620
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5621
5622
API Changes
5623
***********
5624
5625
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5626
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5627
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5628
Repository docstring for more details.
5629
(Robert Collins)
5630
5631
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5632
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5633
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5634
5635
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5636
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5637
(Daniel Watkins)
5638
5639
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5640
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5641
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5642
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
5643
5644
Internals
5645
*********
5646
5647
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5648
(Alexander Belchenko)
5649
5650
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5651
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5652
containing a given location.
5653
(Daniel Watkins)
5654
5655
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5656
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5657
storage. (Robert Collins)
5658
5659
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5660
(Robert Collins)
5661
5662
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
5663
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow

repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
5674
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
5675
now faster.

5677
Bug Fixes
5678
*********
5679
5680
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5681
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5682
reading from the repository.)
5683
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5684
5685
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5686
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5687
5688
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5689
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5690
(Andrew Bennetts)
5691
5692
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5693
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5694
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
5697
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
5698
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
5699
5700
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
5701
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
5702
5703
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
5704
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
5705
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

5711
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
5712
5713
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
5714
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
5715
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)

which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5737
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5738
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5739
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
5759
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
5760
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
5761
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
5762
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
5763
and future extensions.

5765
5766
Notes When Upgrading
5767
********************
5768
5769
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
5770
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
5771
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
5772
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
5773
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
5774
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
5775
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

5791
Improvements
5792
************
5793
5794
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
5795
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
5796
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
5797
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5798
5799
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
5800
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
5801
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
5802
5803
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
5804
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
5805
5806
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
5807
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
5808
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
5809
5810
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
5811
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
5812
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
5813
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
5814
step closer to not using full revision history.

Bugfixes
5818
********
5819
5820
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
5821
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
5822
5823
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5824
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5825
5826
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
5827
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
5828
5829
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
5830
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
5831
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
5832
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
5833
5834
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
5835
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
5836
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
5837
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
5838
5839
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
5840
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
5841
in use by another process.
5842
(Martin Pool)
5843
5844
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
5845
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
5846
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
5847
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
5848
5849
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
5850
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
5851
5852
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
5853
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
5854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
5855

5857
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
5858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)

5860
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
5861
them.
5862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
5863
5864
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
5865
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
5866
5867
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
5868
under vim on Mac OS X.

API Changes
5911
***********
5912
5913
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
5914
instead. (Martin Pool)
5915
5916
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
5917
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
5918
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
5919
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
5920
5921
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
5922
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
5923
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
5924
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
5925
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
5926
5927
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
5928
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
5929
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
5930
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
5931
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
5932
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
5933
5934
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
5935
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
5936
(Martin Pool)
5937
5938
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
5939
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
5940
(Robert Collins)
5941
5942
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
5943
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
5944
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
5945
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
5946
5947
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
5948
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
5949
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5950
5951
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
5952
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
5953
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
5954
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
5955
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
5956
(Martin Pool)
5957
5958
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
5959
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
5960
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
5961
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
5962
(Robert Collins)
5963
5964
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5965
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5966
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5967
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5968
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5969
5970
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
5987
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,

* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6027
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6028
6029
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6030
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6031
6032
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6033
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6034
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6035
6036
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6037
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6038
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6039
6040
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.

6047
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6048
6049
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6050
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6051
6052
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6053
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6054
6055
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6056
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6057
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6058
6059
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6060
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6061
6062
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6063
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6064
6065
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6066
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6067
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6068
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6069

* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6071
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6072
(Martin Pool)
6073
6074
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6075
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6076
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6077
6078
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6079
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6080
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6081
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6082
every revision each side had in common.
6083
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6084

* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6086
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6087
6088
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6089
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6090
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.

6111
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6112
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6113
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6114
6115
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6116
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6117
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6118
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6119
6120
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6121
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6122
6123
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6124
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6125
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6126
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6127
6128
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6129
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6130
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6131
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)

``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6138
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6139
6140
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6141
6142

6143
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)

* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6146
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6156
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6157
6158
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6159
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6160
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6161
(Aaron Bentley)
6162

6164
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.

This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6177
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6178
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6179
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6180
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6181
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6182
and faster performance.

*******
6226
6227
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6228
6229
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6230
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6231
6232
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6233
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6234
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6235
6236
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6237
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6238
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6239
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6240
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6241
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6242
Andrew Cowie)
6243
6244
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6245
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6246
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.

Features
6250
********
6251
6252
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6253
6254
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6255
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6256
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6257
6258
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6259
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6260
See the User Reference for signature details.
6261
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6262
6263
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6264
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6265
6266
Improvements
6267
************
6268
6269
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6270
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6271
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6272
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6273
6274
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6275
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6276
6277
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6278
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6279
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6280
Wouter van Heyst)
6281
6282
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6283
(Chad Miller)
6284
6285
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6286
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6287
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6288
6289
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6290
(Aaron Bentley)
6291
6292
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6293
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6294
6295
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6296
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6297
6298
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6299
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6300
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6301
6302
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6303
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6304
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6305
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6306
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6307
6308
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6309
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6310
6311
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6312
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6313
6314
Bugfixes
6315
********
6316
6317
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6318
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6319
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6320
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6321
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6322
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6323
6324
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6325
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6326
6327
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6328
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6329
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6330
6331
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6332
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6333
6334
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6335
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6336
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6337
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6338
6339
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6340
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6341
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6342
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6343
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6344
6345
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6346
6347
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6348
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6349
6350
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6351
6352
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6353
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6354
6355
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

6370
**********
6371
6372
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6373
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6374
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6375
6376
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6377
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6378
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6379
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6380
6381
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6382
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6383
release. (James Westby)
6384
6385
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6386
(Andrew Bennetts)
6387
6388
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6389
6390
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6391
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6392
6393
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6394
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6395
6396
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6397
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6398
6399
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6400
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6401
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6402
6403
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6404
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6405
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6406
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6407
6408
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6409
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6410
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6411
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6412
6413
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6414
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6415
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6416
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6417
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6418
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6419
6420
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6421
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6422
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)

6441
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6442
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6443
6444
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6445
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6446
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6447
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6448
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6449
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)

*******
6453
6454
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6455
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6456
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6457
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6458
6459
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6460
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6461
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6462
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6463
implement this).
6464
(Vincent Ladeuil)
6465
6466
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
6467
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6468
(Vincent Ladeuil)
6469
6470
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6471

* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6476

6477
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)

6488
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6489

6490

6561
Changes
6562
*******
6563
6564
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6565
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6566
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6567
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6568
(Robert Collins)
6569
6570
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6571
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6572
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6573
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6574
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6575
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6576
6577
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6578
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6579
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.

6599
6600
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6601
6602
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6603
6604
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6605
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6606
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6607
6608
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6609
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6610
6611
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6612
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6613
6614
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6615
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6616
(Alexander Belchenko)
6617
6618
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6619
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6620
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6621
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6622
6623
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6624
(Daniel Watkins)
6625
6626
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6627
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6628
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6629
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6630
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

6637
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6638
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

external users. (Aaron Bentley)
6732
6733
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to

Notes When Upgrading
6756
********************
6757
6758
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
6759
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
6760
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
6761
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
6762
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
6763
(Andrew Bennetts)

6765
Changes
6766
*******
6767
6768
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
6769
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
6770
6771
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
6772
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
6773
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
6774
6775
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
6776
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
6777
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
6778
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
6779
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
6780
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.

Features
6784
********
6785
6786
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
6787
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6788
6789
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
6790
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
6791
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
6792
(Robert Collins)
6793
6794
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
6795
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
6796
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
6797
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
6798
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
6799
6800
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
6801
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
6802
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
6803
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
6804
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
6805
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
6806
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
6807
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

6811
6812
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
6813
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
6814
6815
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
6816
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6817
6818
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
6819
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6820
6821
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
6822
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
6823
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
6824
6825
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.

6852
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
6853
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
6854
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
6855
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
6856

(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
6910
6911
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
6912
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
6913
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
6914
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
6915
6916
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
6917
6918
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
6919
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
6920
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
6921
server. (Robert Collins)
6922
6923
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
6924
operate. (Robert Collins)
6925
6926
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
6927
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
6928
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
6929
6930
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
6931
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
6932
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
6933
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)

* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the

6937
6938

6939
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
6940
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
6941
6942
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
6943
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
6944
6945
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
6946
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
6947
6948
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6949
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
6950
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
6951
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

6969
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6970
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6971
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
6972
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6973
6974
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
6975
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
6976
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
6977
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

6996
6997
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
6998

6999
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7000
7001
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7002
7003
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7004
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7005
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7006
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7007
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7008
7009
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7010
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7011
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7321
********************
7322
7323
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7324
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7325
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7326
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7327
7328
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7329
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7330
7331
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7332
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7333
7334
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7335
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7336
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7337
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7338
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7339
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7340
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7341
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7342
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7343
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7344
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7345
from any tree without problems.

(Aaron Bentley)
7413
7414
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7415
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7416
(Lukáš Lalinský)
7417
7418
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7419
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7420
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7421
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)

7481
on them.
7482

7485
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.

7492
to be reconciled.
7493
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7494
7495
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7496
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7497
7498
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7499
specify a port in urls.

7503
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7504
7505

7534
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7535
7536
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7537
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7538
7539
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7540
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7541
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7542
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7543
7544
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7545
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7546
7547
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7548
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7549
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7550
7551
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7552
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7553
7554
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.

7562
7563
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7564
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7565
7566
* The return value of
7567
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7568
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7569
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7570
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7571
7572
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7573
(Robert Collins)
7574
7575
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7576
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7577
format.

``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7585
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7586

7587
7588
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7589
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7614
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7615
7616
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7617
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7618
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7619
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7620
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7621
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7622
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7623
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7624
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7625
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7626
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7627
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

Features
7631
********
7632
7633
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7634
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7635
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7636
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7637
commands. (Robert Collins)
7638
7639
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7640
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7641
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7642
(Robert Collins)
7643
7644
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7645
7646
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7647
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7648
7649
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7650
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7651
(Aaron Bentley)
7652
7653
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7654
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7655
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7656
7657
Performance
7658
***********
7659
7660
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7661
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7662
7663
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7664
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7665
7666
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7667
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7668
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7669
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7670
7671
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7672
(Robert Collins)
7673
7674
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7675
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7676
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7677
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7678
7679
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7680
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7681
7682
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7683
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7684
7685
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7686
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7687
7688
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7689
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

7696
7697
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
7698
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
7699
7700
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
7701
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
7702
7703
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
7704

7718
*********
7719
7720
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
7721
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
7722
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
7723
7724
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
7725
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
7726
7727
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
7728
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
7729
7730
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7731
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7732
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7733
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7734
7735
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7736
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7737
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7738
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7739
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7740
7741
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
7742
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
7743
paramiko.
7744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
7745

* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
7749
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)

* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.

* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
7758
contains a symbolic link.
7759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
7760
7761
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
7762
(James Westby, #140615)
7763
7764
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
7765
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
7766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
7767
7768
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
7769
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
7770

7771
7772
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)

7774
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
7775
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
7776
7777
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
7778
will remain opened.
7779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
7780
7781
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
7782
directory to detect leaking tests.
7783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
7784
7785
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
7786
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
7787
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
7788
7789
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
7790
(Rob Weir, #141629)
7791
7792
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
7793
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
7794
7795
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der

**********
7800
7801
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
7802
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
7803
7804
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
7805
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
7806
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
7807
7808
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
7809
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
7810
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
7811
7812
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
7813
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
7814
7815
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
7816
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
7817
7818
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
7819
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
7820
(Martin Pool)
7821
7822
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
7823
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
7824
7825
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
7826
class that needs it.
7827
(Martin Pool)
7828
7829
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
7830
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
7831
7832
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
7833
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
7834
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
7835
7836
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
7837
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
7838
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
7839
(Robert Collins)
7840
7841
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
7842
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
7843
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
7844
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.

7850
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes

put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
7852
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
7853
7854
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
7855
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
7856
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
7857
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
7858
7859
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
7860
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
7861
(Robert Collins)
7862
7863
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for

7865
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
7866
7867
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
7868
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
7869
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
7870

* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
7872
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)

7874
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
7875
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
7876
to complete. (Robert Collins)
7877
7878
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
7879
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
7880
7881
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
7882
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
7883
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
7884
7885
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
7886
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
7887
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
7888
7889
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
7890
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
7891
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
7892
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
7893
7894
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
7895
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
7896
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
7897
returned. (Robert Collins)
7898
7899
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
7900
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
7901
7902
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
7903
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
7904
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
7905
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
7906
(Robert Collins)
7907
7908
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.

7912
*******
7913
7914
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
7915
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
7916
7917
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
7918
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
7919
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
7920
makes this behavior available to other users.
7921
(Martin Pool)
7922
7923
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
7924
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

*******
7967
7968
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7969
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7970
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7971
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7972
(Martin Pool)
7973
7974
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7975
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7976
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7977
(Ian Clatworthy)
7978
7979
Features
7980
********
7981
7982
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7983
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7984
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
7985
(Lukáš Lalinský)
7986
7987
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
7988
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
7989
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
7990
7991
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
7992
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
7993
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
7994
7995
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
7996
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
7997
7998
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
7999
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8000
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8001
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8002
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8003
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8004
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8005
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8006
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8007
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8008
8009
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8010
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8011
8012
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8013
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8014
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8015
8016
Bug Fixes
8017
*********
8018
8019
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8020
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8021
8022
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8023
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8024
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8025
8026
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8027
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8028
8029
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8030
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8031
8032
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8033
(Aaron Bentley)
8034
8035
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8036
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8037
8038
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8039
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8040
8041
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8042
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8043
8044
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8045
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8046
8047
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8048
8049
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8050
Watkins, #106726)
8051
8052
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8053
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8054
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8055
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8056
8057
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8058
8059
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8060
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8061
#133548)
8062
8063
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8064
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8065
8066
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8067
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8068
#116143)
8069
8070
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8071
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8072
8073
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8074
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8075
8076
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8077
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8078
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8079
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8080
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8081
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8082
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8083
8084
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8085
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8086
8087
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8088
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8089
8090
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8091
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8092
8093
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8095

* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8097
connections.
8098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8099
8100
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8101
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8102
8103
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8104
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8105
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8106
8107
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8108
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
8112
************
8113
8114
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8115
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8116
8117
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8118
(Aaron Bentley)
8119
8120
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8121
(Aaron Bentley)
8122
8123
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8124
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8125
8126
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8127
8128
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8129
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8130
8131
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8132
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8133
8134
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8135
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8136
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8137
space). (Robert Collins)
8138
8139
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8140
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8141
(Ian Clatworthy)
8142
8143
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8144
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8145
8146
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8147
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8148
8149
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8150
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8151
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8152
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8153
8154
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8155
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8156
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8157
(Lukáš Lalinský)
8158
8159
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8160
(Ian Clatworthy)
8161
8162
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8163
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8164
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8165
8166
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8167
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8168
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8169
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8170
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8171
8172
API Breaks
8173
**********
8174
8175
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8176
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8177
8178
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8179
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8180
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8181
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8182
affected. (Robert Collins)
8183
8184
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8185
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8186
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8187
(Robert Collins)
8188
8189
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8190
previous release. (Martin Pool)

*******
8194
8195
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8196
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8197
8198
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8199
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8200
8201
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8202
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8203
8204
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8205
(Aaron Bentley)
8206
8207
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8208
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8209
8210
Internals
8211
*********
8212
8213
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8214
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8215
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8216
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8217
8218
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8219
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8220
8221
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8222
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8223
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8224
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8225
8226
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8227
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8228
present. (Robert Collins)
8229
8230
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8231
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8232
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8233
API. (Robert Collins)
8234
8235
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8236
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8237
(Robert Collins)
8238
8239
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8240
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8241
8242
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8243
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8244
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8245
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8246
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8247
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8248
8249
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8250
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8251
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8252
8253
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8254
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8255
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8256
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8257
protocol.
8258
8259
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8260
(Aaron Bentley)
8261
8262
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8263
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8264
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8265
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8266
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8267
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8268
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8269
8270
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8271
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8272
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8273
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8274
8275
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8276
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8277
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8278
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8279
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8280
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8281
8282
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8283
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8284
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8285
8286
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8287
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

8324
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8325
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8326

8338
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8339
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8340
8341
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8342
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8343
#111664)
8344
8345
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8346
(Lukáš Lalinský)
8347
8348
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8349
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8350
8351
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8352
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8353
8354
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8355
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8356
8357
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8358
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8359
8360
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8361
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8362
8363
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.

Improvements
8367
************
8368
8369
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8370
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8371
8372
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8373
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8374
8375
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8376
the repository (Robert Collins)
8377
8378
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8379
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8380
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8381
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8382
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8383
8384
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8385
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8386
8387
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8388
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8389
(John Arbash Meinel)
8390
8391
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8392
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8393
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8394
about 10%).
8395
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8396
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8397
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8398
(John Arbash Meinel)
8399
8400
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8401
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8402
(Robert Collins)
8403
8404
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8405
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8406
8407
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8408
(Ian Clatworthy)
8409
8410
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8411
8412
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8413
8414
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8415
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8416
8417
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8418
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8419
Meinel)
8420
8421
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8422
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8423
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8424
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8425
8426
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8427
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8428
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8429
8430
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8431
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8432
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8433
8434
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8435
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8436
8437
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8438
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8439
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8440
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8441
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8442
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8443
(Ian Clatworthy)
8444
8445
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8446
(Alexander Belchenko)
8447
8448
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8449
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8450
8451
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8452
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8453
8454
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8455
8456
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8457
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8458
8459
Library API Breaks
8460
******************
8461
8462
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8463
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8464
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8465
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8466
8467
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8468
8469
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8470
(Robert Collins)
8471
8472
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8473
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8474
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8475
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8476
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8477
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8478
8479
Internals
8480
*********
8481
8482
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8483
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8484
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8485
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8486
8487
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8488
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8489
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8490
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8491
tests have been refactored too.
8492
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8493
8494
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8495
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8496
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8497
list, it will.
8498
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8499
8500
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8501
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8502
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8503
8504
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8505
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8506
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8507
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8508
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8509
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8510
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8511
8512
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8513
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8514
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8515
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8516
(John Arbash Meinel)
8517
8518
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8519
functionality for testing.
8520
8521
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8522
8523
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8524
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8525
8526
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8527
8528
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8529
(Robert Collins)
8530
8531
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8532
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8533
8534
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8535
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8536
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8537
8538
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8539
(Aaron Bentley)
8540
8541
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8542
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8543
8544
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8545
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8546
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8547
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8548
8549
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8550
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8551
8552
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8553
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8554
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8555
8556
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8557
(Marius Kruger)
8558
8559
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8560
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8561
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8562
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8563
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8564
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8565
8566
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8567
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8568
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8569
many files. (Robert Collins)
8570
8571
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8572
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8573
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8574
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8575
8576
Testing
8577
*******
8578
8579
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8580
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8581
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8582
8583
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8584
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8585
8586
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8587
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8588
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
8656
************
8657
8658
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8659
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8660
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8661
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8662
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8663
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8664
8665
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8666
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8667
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8668
8669
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8670
(Elliot Murphy)
8671
8672
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8673
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8674
8675
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8676
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8677
8678
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8679
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8680
8681
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8682
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8683
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8684
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8685
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8686
8687
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8688
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8689
8690
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8691
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8692
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8693
8694
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
8695
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
8696
8697
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
8698
8699
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
8700
output. (Aaron Bentley)
8701
8702
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
8703
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
8704
(Robert Collins)
8705
8706

8710
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)

* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8750
8751
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8752
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8753
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)

* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
8764
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
8765
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
8766
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
8767
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
8768
same location. (Robert Collins)

* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
8790
8791
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and

8801
8802
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
8803
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
8804
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
8805
8806
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
8807
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
8808
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
8809
8810
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
8811
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
8812
Martin Pool)
8813
8814
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
8815
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)

8823
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
8824
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
8825
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
8826
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8827
8828
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
8829
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
8830
testing. (Robert Collins)
8831
8832
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
8833
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
8834
8835
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
8836
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
8837
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
8838
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
8839
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
8840
attribute during the test parameterisation in
8841
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
8842
8843
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
8844
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
8845
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
8846
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
8847
8848
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
8849
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
8850
8851
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
8852
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
8877
********************
8878
8879
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8880
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
8881
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8882
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
8883
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
8884
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
8885
and unlock() like so::
8886
8887
work_tree.lock_read()
8888
try:
8889
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
8890
finally:

8895
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
8896
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
8897
object.
8898
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8899
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
8900
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
8901
8902
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
8903
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
8904
too. (Robert Collins)

8910
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,

8912
8913
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
8914
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
8915
8916
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
8917
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
8918
8919
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
8920
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
8921
understanding what changes have occurred
8922
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
8923
8924
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
8925
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
8926
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8927
8928
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
8929
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
8930
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
8931
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

8957
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8958
8959
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8960
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8961
8962
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8963
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8964
8965
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8966
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
8967
8968
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.

9042
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9043
it could be recovered again.
9044
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9045
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9046
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9047
but not delete it.
9048
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the

* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by

pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9061
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable

9077
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9078

9080
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,

9088
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9089
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9106

9108

machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9124
9125
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9126
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9127
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9128
9129
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9130
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9131
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9132
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9133
9134
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9135
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9136
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9137
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9138
9139
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9140
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9141
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9142
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9143
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9144
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9145
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9146
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9147
header(s).

9155
9156
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9157
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9158
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9159
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9160
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9161
9162
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9163
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9164
9165
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9166
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9167
9168
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9169
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9170
9171
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9172
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9173
9174
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9175
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9176
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9177
(Robert Collins).
9178
9179
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9180
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9181
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9182
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9183
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9184
(Robert Collins)
9185
9186
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9187
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9188
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9189
9190
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9191
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9192
(Vincent Ladeuil).
9193
9194
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9195
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9196
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9197
(Vincent Ladeuil).
9198
9199
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9200
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9201
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9202
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9203
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9204
9205
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9206
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9207
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9208
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9209
9210
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9211
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9212
9213
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9214
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9215
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9216
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9217
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9218
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9219
9220
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9221
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)

* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9224
help. (Robert Collins)
9225
9226
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9227
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9228
9229
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9230
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9231
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9232
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9233
(John Arbash Meinel)
9234
9235
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9236
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9237
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9238
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9239
useful. (Robert Collins)
9240
9241
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9258
(Aaron Bentley)
9259
9260
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9261
the file, and does it faster.
9262
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9263
9264
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9265
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9266
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9267
9268
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9269
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9270
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9271
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9272
9273
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9274
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9275
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9276
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9277
9278
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9279
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9280
9281
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9282
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9283
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9284
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9285
Arbash Meinel)
9286
9287
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9288
9289
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9290
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9291
9292
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9293
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9294
9295
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9296
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9297
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9298
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9299
security hole.
9300
(Vincent Ladeuil)

9303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).

*******
9307
9308
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9309
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9310
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9311
9312
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9313
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9314
9315
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9316
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9317
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9318
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9319
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9320
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9321
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9322
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9323
9324
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9325
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9326
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9327
9328
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9329
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9330
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9331
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9332
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9333
access.
9334
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9335
9336
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9337
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9338
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9339
9340
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9341
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

9374
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9375
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9376
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9377
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9378
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9379
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9380
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9381
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9382
path. (vila)

9388
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9389
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9390
9391
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9392
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9393
(Martin Pool)
9394
9395
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9396
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9397
(John Arbash Meinel)
9398
9399
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9400
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9401
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9402
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and

``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

Surprises
9499
*********
9500
9501
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9502
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9503
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9504
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9505
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9506
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9507
9508
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9509
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9510
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9511
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9512
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9513
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9514
development.
9515
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9516
9517
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9518
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9519
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9520
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9521
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9522
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9523
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9524
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

************
9528
9529
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9530
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9531
9532
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9533
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9534
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9535
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9536
does exist.
9537
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9538
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9539
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9540
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9541
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9542
9543
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9544
(Aaron Bentley)

9546
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9547

* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9550
(Robert Collins)
9551

* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9553

9555
9556
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9557
(Aaron Bentley)
9558
9559
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9560
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9561
9562
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9563
directory. (Martin Pool)
9564
9565
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9566
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9567
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9568
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9569
9570
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9571
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9572
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9573
in docs/configuration.txt.
9574
9575
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9576
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9577
bind location.
9578
9579
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9580
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9581
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9582
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9583
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9584
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9585
9586
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9587
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9588
9589
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9590
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9591

* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

9596
*********
9597
9598
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9599
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9600
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9601
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9602
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9603
(John Arbash Meinel)
9604
9605
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9606
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9607
(Aaron Bentley)
9608
9609
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9610
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9611
(John Arbash Meinel)
9612
9613
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9614
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9615
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9616
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9617
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9618
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9619
9620
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9621
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9622
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9623
9624
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9625
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9626
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9627
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9628
repository.
9629
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9630
9631
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9632
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9633
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9634
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9635
9636
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9637
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9638
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9639
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9640
9641
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9642
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9643
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9644
9645
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9646
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9647
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9648
9649
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9650
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9651
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9652
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9653
9654
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9655
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9656
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9657
9658
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9659
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9660
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9661
9662
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9663
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9664
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9665
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9666
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9667
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9668
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9669
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9670
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

9756
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
9757
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
9758
server, then you can write over the http connection.
9759
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9760
9761
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
9762
(Marius Kruger)
9763
9764
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
9765
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
9766
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9767
9768
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
9769
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
9770
9771
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
9772
(Aaron Bentley)
9773
9774
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
9775
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
9776
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
9777
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
9778
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
9779
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
9780
9781
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
9782
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
9783
should enable you to do::
9784
9785
[/home/user/project]
9786
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
9787
push_location:policy = appendpath
9788
9789
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
9790
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
9791
(James Henstridge)
9792
9793
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
9794

9821
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
9822
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)

9824
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
9825
9826
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
9827
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
9828
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
9829

* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
9843

9844
9845
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
9846
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
9847
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
9848
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
9849
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)

* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
9858
matcher.
9859
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
9860
9861
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
9862
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
9863
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
9864
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
9865
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
9866
9867
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
9868
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
9869
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
9870
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)

deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
9924
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
9925
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
9926
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
9927

9937
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9938
(John Arbash Meinel)
9939
9940
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
9941
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
9942
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
9943
(John Arbash Meinel)

* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
9946
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
9947
9948
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
9949
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9950
9951
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url

And optimize the knit index parsing code.
9960
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
9961
9962
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
9963
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
9964
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``

* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
9970

9971
9972
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
9973
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
9974
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
9975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
9976
9977
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
9978
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
9979
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
9980
9981
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
9982
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
9983
them as full references rather than integers.
9984
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
9985
9986
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
9987
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
9988
9989
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)

9994
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
9995
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
9996
9997
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
9998
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
9999
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10000
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10001
10002
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10003
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10004
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)

* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10007
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10008
10009
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10010
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10011
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10012
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have

added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10187
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10188
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10189
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10190
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10191
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10192
10193
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10194
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10195
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10196
10197
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10198
10199
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10200
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10201
10202
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10203
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10204
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10205
(Robert Collins)
10206
10207
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10208
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10209
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10210
(John Arbash Meinel)
10211
10212
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10213
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10214
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10215
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10216
Pool)
10217
10218
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10219
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10220
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

Bug Fixes
10224
*********
10225
10226
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10227
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10228
10229
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10230
10231
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10232
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10233
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10234
10235
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10236
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10237
10238
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10239
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10240
10241
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10243
10244
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10245
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10246
10247
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10248
10249
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10250
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10251
10252
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10253
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10254
10255
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10256
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10257
10258
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10259
(John Arbash Meinel)
10260
10261
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10262
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10263
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10264
10265
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10266
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10267
10268
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10269
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10270
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10271
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10272
10273
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10274
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10275
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10276
10277
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10278
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10279

Internals
10286
*********
10287
10288
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10289
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10290
(John Arbash Meinel)
10291
10292
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10293
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10294
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10295
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10296
10297
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10298
(Andrew Bennetts)
10299
10300
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10301
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10302
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10303
10304
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10305
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10306
10307
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10308
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10309
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10310
10311
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10312
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10313
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10314
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10315
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10316
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10317
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10318
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10319
caller to repeat their request.
10320
(John Arbash Meinel)
10321
10322
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10323
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10324
10325
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10326
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10327
10328
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10329
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10330
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10331
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10332
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10333
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10334
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10335
10336
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10337
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10338
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10339
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10340
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10341
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10342
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10343
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10344
(Robert Collins)
10345
10346
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10347
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10348
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10349
10350
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10351
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10352
10353
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10354
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10355
10356
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

Testing
10360
*******
10361
10362
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10363
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10364
10365
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10366
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10367
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10368
10369
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10370
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10371
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

************
10380
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10381
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10382
10383
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10384
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10385
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10386
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10387
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10388
10389
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10390
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10391
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10392
10393
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10394
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10395
10396
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10397
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

Bug Fixes
10401
*********
10402
10403
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10404
10405
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10406
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10407
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10408
10409
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10410
10411
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10412
10413
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10414
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10415
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10416
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10417
10418
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10419
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10420
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10421
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10422
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10423
10424
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10425
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10426
10427
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10428
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10429
10430
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10431
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10432
10433
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10434
in handling of revision properties.
10435
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10436
10437
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10438

Internals
10441
*********
10442
10443
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10444
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10445
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10446
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10447
(John Arbash Meinel)
10448
10449
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10450
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers

Surprises
10459
*********
10460
10461
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10462
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10463
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10464
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10465
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10466
a more conservative list than the old default.
10467
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10468
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10469
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10470
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10471
10472
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10473
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
10477
************
10478
10479
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10480
revno:N:branch. For example,
10481
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10482
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10483
10484
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10485
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10486
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10487
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10488
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10489
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10490
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10491
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10492
#42517, #42514)
10493
10494
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10495
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10496
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10497
(Malone #3507)
10498
10499
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10500
(Alexander Belchenko)
10501
10502
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10503
10504
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10505
(Robert Collins).
10506
10507
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10508
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10509
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10510
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10511
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10512
(John Arbash Meinel)
10513
10514
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10515
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10516
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10517
grained analysis of performance.
10518
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10519
10520
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10521
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10522
10523
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10524
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10525
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10526
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10527
file. (Robert Collins).
10528
10529
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10530
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10531
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10532
10533
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10534
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10535
Matthieu Moy)
10536
10537
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10538
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10539
10540
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10541
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10542
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10543
the same way you would apply another branch.
10544
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10545
10546
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10547
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10548
10549
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10550
(Michael Ellerman)
10551
10552
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10553
(Aaron Bentley)
10554
10555
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10556
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10557
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10558
10559
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10560
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10561
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10562
10563
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10564
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10565
10566
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10567
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10568
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10569
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10570
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10571
10572
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10573
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10574
10575
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10576
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10577
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10578
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10579
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10580
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10581
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10582
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10583
10584
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10585
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10586
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

*********
10590
10591
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10592
tests not to run.
10593
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10594
10595
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10596
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10597
10598
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10599
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10600
10601
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10602
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10603
10604
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10605
10606
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10607
(John Arbash Meinel)
10608
10609
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10610
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10611
10612
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10613
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10614
and y.
10615
10616
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10617
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10618
10619
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10620
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10621
10622
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10623
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10624
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10625
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10626
10627
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10628
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10629
10630
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)

10638
10639
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10640
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10641
10642
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10643
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10644
10645
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10646
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10647
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10648
10649
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10650
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10651
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10652
10653
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10654
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10655
10656
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10657
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10658
10659
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10660
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10661
10662
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10663
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10664
10665
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10666
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10667
10668
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10669
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10670
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10671
10672
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10673
10674
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10675
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10676
10677
Internals
10678
*********
10679
10680
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10681
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10682
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10683
10684
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10685
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10686
10687
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10688
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10689
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10690
10691
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10692
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10693
10694
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10695
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10696
(Martin Pool)
10697
10698
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10699
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10700
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10701
10702
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10703
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10704
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10705
10706
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10707
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10708
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10709
10710
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
10711
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
10712
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
10713
10714
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
10715
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
10716
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
10717
10718
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
10719
instead. (Robert Collins)
10720

Notes When Upgrading
10795
********************
10796
10797
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
10798
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
10799
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
10800
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
10801
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
10802
will keep the same format.
10803
10804
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
10805
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
10806
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
10807
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
10808
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
10809
10810
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
10811
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
10812
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
10813
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
10814
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
10815
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
10816
indicating the current revision of the branch.
10817
10818
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
10819
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
10820
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
10821
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
10822
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
10823
10824
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
10825
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
10826
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
10827
arrangement.
10828
10829
10830
Improvements
10831
************
10832
10833
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
10834
convention. Paths now take the form::
10835
10836
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10837
or
10838
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
10839
10840
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
10841
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
10842
10843
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
10844
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
10845
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
10846
10847
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
10848
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
10849
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
10850
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
10851
10852
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
10853
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
10854
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
10855
10856
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
10857
10858
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
10859
10860
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
10861
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
10862
commits::
10863
10864
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
10865
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
10866
| xargs bzr re-sign
10867
10868
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
10869
10870
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
10871
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
10872
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
10873
(Robert Collins)
10874
10875
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
10876
10877
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
10878
10879
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
10880
'.moved'.
10881
10882
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
10883
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
10884
10885
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
10886
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
10887
Daniel Silverstone)
10888
10889
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
10890
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
10891
Martin Pool)
10892
10893
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
10894
10895
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
10896
10897
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
10898
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
10899
10900
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
10901
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
10902
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
10903
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
10904
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
10905
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
10906
10907
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
10908
10909
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
10910
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
10911
(Robert Collins)
10912
10913
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
10914
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
10915
10916
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
10917
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
10918
10919
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
10920
10921
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
10922
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
10923
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
10924
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
10925
specification by Martin Pool.
10926
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
10927
10928
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
10929
Belchenko)
10930
10931
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
10932
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10933
10934
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10935
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10936
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10937
10938
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10939
10940
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10941
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10942
(Robert Collins)
10943
10944
Changes
10945
*******
10946
10947

10948
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10949
10950
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10951
10952
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10953
10954
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10955
(Olaf Conradi)
10956
10957
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10958
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10959
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10960
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
10961

Internals
10963
*********
10964
10965
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10966
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
10967
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10968
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10969
10970
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10971
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10972
tried. (Martin Pool)
10973
10974
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10975

10976
10977
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10978

* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10980
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
10981
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
10982
10983
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10984
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10985
10986
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
10987
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
10988
paths. (Robert Collins)
10989
10990
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
10991
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
10992
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
10993
10994
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
10995
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
10996
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
10997
10998
* Progress bars are now nested - see
10999
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11000

11009
11010
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11011
11012
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11013
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11014
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11015
(Robert Collins)
11016
11017
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11018
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11019
11020
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11021
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11022
check. (Robert Collins)
11023
11024
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11025
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)

11030
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11031
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11032
11033
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11034
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11035
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11036
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11037
11038
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11039
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11040
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11041
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11042
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11043
11044
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11045
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11046
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11047
11048
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11049
11050
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11051
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
11059
*******
11060
11061
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11062
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11063
11064
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11065
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11066
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11067
(Johan Rydberg)
11068
11069
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11070
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11071
11072
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11073
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11074
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11075
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11076
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11077
11078
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11079
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11080
used. (Robert Collins)
11081
11082
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11083
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11084
(James Henstridge)
11085
11086
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11087
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11088
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11089
11090
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11091
ignore list.
11092
11093
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11094
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11095
11096
Improvements
11097
************
11098
11099
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11100
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11101
11102
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11103
11104
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11105
11106
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11107
tree. (Robert Collins)
11108
11109
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11110
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11111
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11112
(Robert Collins)
11113
11114
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11115
that they be kept.
11116
11117
* Tweaks to short log printing
11118
11119
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11120
(Aaron Bentley)
11121
11122
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11123
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11124
11125
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11126
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11127
11128
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11129
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11130
11131
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11132
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11133
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11134
11135
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11136
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11137
11138
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11139
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11140
requests.
11141
11142
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11143
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11144
11145
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11146
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11147
11148
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11149
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11150
11151
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11152
(Denys Duchier)
11153
11154
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11155
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11156
11157
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11158
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11159
11160
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11161
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11162
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)

Bug Fixes
11165
*********
11166
11167
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11168
11169
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11170
11171
* Error when run with -OO
11172
11173
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11174
(Martin Pool)
11175
11176
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11177
11178
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11179
11180
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11181
ignored by diff and status
11182
11183
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11184
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11185
11186
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11187
11188
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11189
11190
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11191
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11192
11193
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11194
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11195
11196
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11197
(Harald Meland)
11198
11199
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11200
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11201
11202
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11203
11204
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11205
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11206
11207
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11208
(Martin Pool)
11209
11210
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11211
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11212
11213
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11214

Testing
11216
*******
11217
11218
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11219
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11220
11221
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11222
11223
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11224
11225
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11226
11227
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11228
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11229
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11230
11231
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11232
11233
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11234
(John Arbash Meinel)
11235
11236
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11237
11238
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11239
If adding a new test script please add that to
11240
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11241
11242
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11243
imported. (Martin Pool)
11244
11245
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11246
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11247
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11248
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11249
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11250
(Robert Collins)
11251
11252
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11253
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11254
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11255
11256
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11257
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11258
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11259
11260
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11261
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11262
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11263
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11264
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11265
(Robert Collins).
11266
11267
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11268
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11269
(Robert Collins).
11270
11271
Internals
11272
*********
11273
11274
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11275
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11276
11277
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11278
function. (Robert Collins)
11279
11280
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11281
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11282
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11283
11284
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11285
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11286
(Robert Collins)
11287
11288
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11289
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11290
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11291
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11292
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11293
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11294
version. (Robert Collins)
11295
11296
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11297
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11298
11299
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11300
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11301
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11302
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11303
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11304
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11305
11306
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11307
(Robert Collins)
11308
11309
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
11310
11311
add()
11312
commit()
11313
move()
11314
rename_one()
11315
unknowns()
11316
11317
(Robert Collins)
11318
11319
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11320
11321
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11322
11323
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11324
Pool)
11325
11326
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11327
query method. (Robert Collins)
11328
11329
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11330
(Denys Duchier)
11331
11332
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11333
(Michael Ellerman)
11334
11335
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11336
(Michael Ellerman)
11337
11338
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11339
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11340
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11341
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11342
11343
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11344
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11345
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11346
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11347
11348
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11349
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

************
11358
11359
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11360
(John A Meinel)
11361
11362
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11363
conflicts.
11364
(Aaron Bentley)
11365
11366
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11367
a separator, not ':'.
11368
(Aaron Bentley)
11369
11370
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11371
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11372
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11373
11374
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11375
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11376
(Robert Collins)
11377
11378
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11379
has been added that suppresses all output.
11380
11381
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11382
Adams.
11383
11384
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11385
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11386
11387
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11388
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11389
11390
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11391
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11392
11393
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11394
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11395
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11396
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11397
11398
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11399
11400
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11401
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11402
11403
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11404
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11405
11406
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11407
output directory, if one was supplied.
11408
11409
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11410
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11411
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11412
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11413
11414
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11415
11416
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11417
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11418
11419
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11420
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11421
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11422
11423
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11424
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11425
11426
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11427
(Aaron Bentley)
11428

11437
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11438
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11439
11440
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11441
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11442
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11443
11444
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11445
is given. (Martin Pool)
11446
11447
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11448
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11449
file. (Robert Collins)
11450
11451
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11452

Internals
11455
*********
11456
11457
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11458
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11459
representation. (Martin Pool).
11460
11461
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11462
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11463
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11464
11465
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11466
(Robert Collins)
11467
11468
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11469
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11470
Magnus Therning.
11471
11472
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11473
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11474
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11475
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11476
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11477
11478
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11479
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11480
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11481
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11482
python path. (Robert Collins)
11483
11484
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11485
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11486
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11487
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11488
11489
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11490
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11491
11492
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11493
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.

* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11497
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11498
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11499
11500
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11501
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11502
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11503
11504
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11505
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11506
11507
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11508
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11509
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11510
(Robert Collins)
11511
11512
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11513
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11514
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11515
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11516
(Robert Collins)
11517
11518
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11519
(Robert Collins)
11520
11521
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11522
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11523
(Robert Collins)
11524
11525
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11526
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11527
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11528
11529
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11530
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11531
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11532
11533
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11534
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11535
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11536
11537
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11538
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11539
11540
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11541
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11542
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11543
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11544
caller. (Robert Collins)
11545
11546
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11547
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11548
(Robert Collins).
11549
11550
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11551
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11552
(Aaron Bentley)
11553
11554
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11555
11556
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11557
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

*****
11596
11597
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11598
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11599
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11600
high-latency connections.

11605
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11606

11607
11608
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11609
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11610
11611
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11612
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11613
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11614
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11615
11616
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11617
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11618
11619
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11620
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11621
11622
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11623
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11624
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11625
11626
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11627
for files with only a change to their executable status.
11628
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11629
Robert Collins

11632

11634
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11635
different partial views of history.
11636

11638

Improvements
11641
************
11642
11643
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11644
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11645
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11646
11647
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11648
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11649
'bzr upgrade'.
11650
11651
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11652
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11653
11654
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo

11657
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11658
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11659
11660
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11661
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11662
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11663
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11664
11665
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11666
11667
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11668
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by

* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11683

11684
11685
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11686
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11687
11688
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11689
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11690
handling of such circumstances.
11691
11692
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11693
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11694
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11695
11696
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11697
11698
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11699
we call them revisions not patches.
11700
11701
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11702
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11703
11704
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11705
giving the revision *of that file*.
11706
11707
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
11708
This must be consistent with the overall branch version

you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
11777
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by

11786
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program

11919
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
11920
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
11921
11922
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
11923
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
11924
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
11925
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
11926
standard plugins directory.
11927
11928
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
11929
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
11930
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
11931
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
11932

11943
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with

no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
11945
11946
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command

Bug Fixes
12048
*********
12049
12050
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
12051
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
12052
12053
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
12054
metacharacters.

Testing
12058
*******
12059
12060
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
12061
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12062
the tests.
12063
12064
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12065
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12066
12067
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12068
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12069
12070
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
12071
under a different version.
12072
12073
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.

12087
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12088
12089
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12090
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12091

basic. Patch from QuantumG.
12118
12119

12120
12121

12123
12124
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.

Changes

*******
12134
12135
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12136
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12137
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12138
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12139
there are DNS problems.
12140
12141
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
