5
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
11
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
12
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
14
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
16
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
18
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
19
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
22
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
23
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
26
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
29
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
30
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
32
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
33
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
35
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
36
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
38
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
39
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
41
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
42
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
46
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
47
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
49
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
50
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
52
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
53
the repository (Robert Collins)
55
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
56
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
57
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
58
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
59
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
61
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
62
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
64
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
65
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
68
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
69
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
70
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
72
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
73
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
74
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
77
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
78
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
81
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
82
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
84
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
87
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
88
more robust against email mangling. New `send` command replaces
89
`bundle-revisions` and `merge-directive`. (Aaron Bentley)
91
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
93
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
94
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
96
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
97
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
100
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
101
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
102
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
103
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
105
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
106
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
107
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
109
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
110
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
111
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
113
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
114
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
116
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
117
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
118
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
119
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
120
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
121
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
124
* HTML documentation now use files extension *.html (Alexander Belchenko)
126
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
127
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
129
* ``bzr selftest --strict'' fails if there are any missing features or
130
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
132
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
134
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
135
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
139
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
140
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
141
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
142
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
144
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
146
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
149
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
150
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
151
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
152
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
153
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
154
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
158
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
159
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
160
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
161
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
163
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
164
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
165
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
166
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
167
tests have been refactored too.
170
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
171
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
172
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
176
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
177
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
178
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
180
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
181
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
182
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
183
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
184
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
185
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
186
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
188
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
189
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
190
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
191
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
194
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
195
functionality for testing.
197
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
199
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
200
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
202
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
204
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
207
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
208
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
210
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
211
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
212
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
214
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
217
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
218
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
220
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
221
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
222
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
223
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
225
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
226
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
228
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
229
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
230
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
232
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
235
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
236
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
237
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
238
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
239
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
240
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
242
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
243
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
244
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
245
many files. (Robert Collins)
247
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
248
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
249
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
250
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
254
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
255
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
256
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
258
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
259
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
266
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
269
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
273
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
274
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
276
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
277
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
278
(James Westby, #122656)
280
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
281
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
283
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
284
authentication header.
285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
287
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
289
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
290
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
292
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
294
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
297
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
298
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
301
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
302
individually and as part of revision ranges.
305
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
306
(Martin Pool, #109169)
308
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
311
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
312
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
314
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
316
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
320
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
321
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
322
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
323
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
324
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
325
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
327
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
328
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
329
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
331
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
334
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
335
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
337
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
338
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
340
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
341
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
343
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
344
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
345
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
346
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
347
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
349
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
350
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
352
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
353
can be slow it is useful feedback).
354
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
356
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
357
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
359
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
361
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
362
output. (Aaron Bentley)
364
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
365
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
368
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
371
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
372
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
374
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
375
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
377
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
378
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
380
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
382
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
383
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
385
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
391
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
392
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
393
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
394
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
395
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
396
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
397
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
398
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
399
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
400
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
401
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
402
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
403
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
404
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
405
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
406
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
407
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
410
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
412
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
413
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
414
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
416
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
417
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
419
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
420
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
422
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
424
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
425
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
426
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
427
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
428
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
429
same location. (Robert Collins)
433
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
435
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
437
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
439
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
442
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
445
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
446
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
447
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
449
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
451
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
452
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
453
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
455
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
456
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
458
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
459
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
460
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
462
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
463
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
464
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
466
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
467
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
468
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
470
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
471
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
474
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
475
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
477
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
478
(Alexander Belchenko)
482
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
483
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
484
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
485
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
487
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
488
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
489
testing. (Robert Collins)
491
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
492
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
494
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
495
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
496
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
497
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
498
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
499
attribute during the test parameterisation in
500
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
502
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
503
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
504
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
505
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
507
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
508
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
510
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
511
avoid useless cloning.
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
519
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
520
(Colin Watson, #120647)
522
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

528
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
530
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
531
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
532
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
533
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
534
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
535
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
536
and unlock() like so::
538
work_tree.lock_read()
540
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
545
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
546
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
548
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
549
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
550
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
552
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
553
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
554
too. (Robert Collins)
558
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
559
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
562
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
565
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
566
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
568
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
569
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
570
understanding what changes have occurred
571
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
573
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
574
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
575
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
577
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
578
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
579
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
580
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
582
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
587
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
588
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
589
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
590
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
591
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
593
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
594
based on split paths, not just string paths.
595
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
597
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
600
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
604
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
605
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
607
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
608
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
610
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
611
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
613
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
614
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
616
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
617
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
619
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
620
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
621
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
627
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
628
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
629
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
630
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
631
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
633
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
634
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
635
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
637
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
638
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
642
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
643
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
644
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
646
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
647
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
648
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
649
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
651
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
655
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
656
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
657
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
658
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
660
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
661
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
662
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
664
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
665
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
667
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
668
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
670
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
671
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
673
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
675
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
677
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
678
it could be recovered again.
679
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
680
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
681
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
683
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
685
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
686
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
690
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
691
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
693
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
694
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
695
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
696
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
698
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
699
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
701
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
702
tests with names that match that regular expression.
703
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
705
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
706
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
707
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
709
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
710
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
711
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
713
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
714
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
717
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
720
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
721
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
722
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
723
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
725
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
728
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
729
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
730
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
733
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
734
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
736
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
737
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
739
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
740
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
741
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
742
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
745
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
746
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
748
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
749
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
751
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
752
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
753
(Robert Collins, #107125).
755
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
756
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
757
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
759
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
760
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
761
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
763
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
764
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
765
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
766
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
768
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
769
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
770
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
771
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
773
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
774
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
775
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
776
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
777
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
778
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
779
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
780
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
786
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
787
code paths. (Robert Collins)
789
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
790
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
791
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
792
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
793
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
795
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
796
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
798
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
799
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
801
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
802
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
804
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
805
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
807
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
808
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
809
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
812
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
813
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
814
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
815
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
816
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
819
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
820
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
821
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
823
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
824
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
827
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
828
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
829
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
832
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
833
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
834
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
835
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
836
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
838
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
839
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
840
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
841
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
843
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
844
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
846
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
847
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
848
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
849
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
850
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
851
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
853
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
854
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
856
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
857
help. (Robert Collins)
859
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
860
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
862
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
863
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
864
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
865
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
868
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
869
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
870
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
871
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
872
useful. (Robert Collins)
874
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
879
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
880
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
882
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
883
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
885
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
886
properly and is no longer beneficial.
887
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
889
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
892
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
893
the file, and does it faster.
894
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
896
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
897
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
898
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
900
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
901
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
902
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
903
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
905
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
906
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
907
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
908
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
910
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
911
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
913
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
914
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
915
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
916
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
919
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
921
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
922
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
924
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
925
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
927
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
928
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
929
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
930
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
934
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
939
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
940
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
941
in running it. (Robert Collins)
943
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
944
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
946
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
947
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
948
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
949
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
950
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
951
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
952
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
953
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
955
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
956
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
957
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
959
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
960
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
961
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
962
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
963
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
965
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
967
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
968
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
969
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
971
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
972
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
979
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
982
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
983
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
986
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
990
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
991
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
996
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
997
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
998
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
999
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1000
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1001
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1002
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1003
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1008
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1009
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1010
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1012
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1013
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1016
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1017
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1018
(John Arbash Meinel)
1020
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1021
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1022
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1023
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1024
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1028
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1031
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1032
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1034
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1035
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1037
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1038
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1039
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1041
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1042
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1044
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1045
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1046
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1047
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1048
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1050
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1051
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1052
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1054
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1057
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1059
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1061
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1062
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1063
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1067
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1068
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1070
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1071
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1073
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1075
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1076
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1078
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1079
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1083
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1088
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1089
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1090
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1091
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1093
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1094
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1096
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1097
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1099
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1102
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1103
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1106
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1110
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1111
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1112
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1113
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1114
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1115
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1117
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1118
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1119
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1120
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1121
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1122
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1124
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1126
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1127
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1128
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1129
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1130
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1131
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1132
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1133
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1137
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1138
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1140
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1141
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1142
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1143
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1145
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1146
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1147
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1148
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1149
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1151
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1154
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1157
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1160
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1161
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1164
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1167
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1168
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1170
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1171
directory. (Martin Pool)
1173
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1174
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1175
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1176
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1178
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1179
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1180
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1181
in docs/configuration.txt.
1183
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1184
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1187
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1188
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1189
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1190
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1191
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1192
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1194
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1195
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1197
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1198
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1200
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1205
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1206
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1207
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1208
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1209
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1210
(John Arbash Meinel)
1212
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1213
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1216
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1217
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1218
(John Arbash Meinel)
1220
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1221
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1222
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1223
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1224
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1225
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1227
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1228
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1229
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1231
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1232
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1233
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1234
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1236
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1238
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1239
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1240
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1241
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1243
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1244
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1245
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1246
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1248
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1249
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1250
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1252
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1253
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1254
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1256
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1257
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1258
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1259
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1261
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1262
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1263
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1265
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1266
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1267
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1269
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1270
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1271
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1272
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1273
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1274
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1275
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1276
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1277
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1278
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1279
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1283
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1284
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1285
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1287
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1290
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1291
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1292
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1293
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1295
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1296
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1299
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1300
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1302
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1304
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1305
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1306
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1308
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1309
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1311
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1314
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1317
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1318
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1320
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1322
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1323
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1327
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1328
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1335
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1339
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1340
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1341
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1343
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1344
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1345
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1348
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1352
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1353
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1354
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1355
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1357
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1360
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1361
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1362
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1364
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1365
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1367
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1370
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1371
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1372
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1373
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1374
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1375
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1377
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1378
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1379
should enable you to do::
1381
[/home/user/project]
1382
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1383
push_location:policy = appendpath
1385
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1386
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1389
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1390
for each file. For example::
1392
$ bzr status --short
1398
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1399
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1401
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1403
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1404
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1406
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1410
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1411
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1412
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1413
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1415
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1416
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1417
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1419
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1421
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1422
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1423
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1424
(Alexander Belchenko)
1426
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1429
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1430
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1432
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1436
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1437
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1439
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1440
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1441
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1442
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1443
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1445
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1446
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1448
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1449
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1451
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1453
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1455
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1456
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1457
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1458
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1459
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1461
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1462
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1463
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1464
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1466
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1467
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1469
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1470
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1472
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1473
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1475
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1476
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1481
No changes from 0.13rc1
1483
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1487
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1489
(Daniel Silverstone)
1491
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1492
operations are substantially faster.
1493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1495
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1496
tree from some other url. For example:
1497
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1498
(Daniel Silverstone)
1500
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1501
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1502
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1503
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1505
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1508
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1509
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1510
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1511
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1512
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1513
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1517
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1518
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1521
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1522
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1523
(John Arbash Meinel)
1525
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1526
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1527
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1528
(John Arbash Meinel)
1530
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1531
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1533
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1534
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1536
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1537
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1542
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1543
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1544
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1546
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1547
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1548
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1549
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1551
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1553
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1554
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1556
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1557
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1558
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1561
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1562
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1563
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1565
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1566
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1567
them as full references rather than integers.
1568
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1570
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1571
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1573
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1575
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1576
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1578
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1579
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1581
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1582
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1583
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1584
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1586
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1587
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1588
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1590
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1591
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1593
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1594
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1595
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1596
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1597
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1601
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1602
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1608
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1609
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1610
(John Arbash Meinel)
1612
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1616
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1617
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1618
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1619
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1621
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1622
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1624
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1626
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1627
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1628
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1629
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1631
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1632
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1633
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1634
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1635
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1637
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1639
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1640
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1644
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1645
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1646
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1648
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1649
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1650
(John Arbash Meinel)
1652
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1653
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1654
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1656
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1657
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1660
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1661
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1662
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1664
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1665
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1666
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1667
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1668
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1669
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1671
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1672
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1673
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1676
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1677
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1681
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1682
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1683
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1686
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1687
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1689
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1690
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1691
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1693
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1694
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1696
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1697
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1698
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1699
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1702
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1704
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1705
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1706
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1708
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1709
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1711
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1713
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1714
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1719
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1720
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1721
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1722
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1724
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1725
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1726
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1730
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1732
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1736
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1738
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1741
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1745
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1746
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1747
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1748
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1749
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1750
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1751
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1753
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1754
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1755
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1757
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1759
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1760
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1762
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1763
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1764
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1767
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1768
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1769
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1770
(John Arbash Meinel)
1772
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1773
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1774
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1775
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1778
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1779
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1780
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1781
(John Arbash Meinel)
1785
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1786
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1788
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1790
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1791
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1792
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1794
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1795
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1797
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1798
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1800
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1803
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1804
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1806
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1808
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1809
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1811
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1812
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1814
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1815
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1817
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1818
(John Arbash Meinel)
1820
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1821
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1822
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1824
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1825
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1827
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1828
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1829
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1830
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1832
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1833
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1834
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1836
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1837
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1841
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1845
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1846
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1847
(John Arbash Meinel)
1849
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1850
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1851
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1852
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1854
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1857
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1858
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1859
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1861
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1862
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1864
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1865
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1866
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1868
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1869
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1870
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1871
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1872
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1873
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1874
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1875
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1876
caller to repeat their request.
1877
(John Arbash Meinel)
1879
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1880
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1882
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1883
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1885
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1886
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1887
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1888
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1889
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1890
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1891
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1893
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1894
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1895
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1896
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1897
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1898
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1899
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1900
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1903
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1904
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1905
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1907
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1908
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1910
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1911
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1913
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1914
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1918
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1919
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1921
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1922
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1923
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1925
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1926
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1927
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1932
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1933
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1935
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1936
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1937
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1938
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1939
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1941
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1942
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1943
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1945
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1946
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1948
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1949
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1950
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1954
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1956
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1957
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1958
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1960
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1962
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1964
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1965
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1966
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1967
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1969
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1970
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1971
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1972
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1973
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1975
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1976
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1978
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1979
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1981
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1982
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1984
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1985
in handling of revision properties.
1986
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1988
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1989
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1993
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1994
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1995
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1996
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1997
(John Arbash Meinel)
1999
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2000
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2001
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2003
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2007
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2008
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2009
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2010
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2011
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2012
a more conservative list than the old default.
2013
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2014
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2015
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2016
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2018
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2019
to more locations than just branch locations.
2024
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2025
revno:N:branch. For example,
2026
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2027
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2029
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2030
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2031
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2032
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2033
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2034
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2035
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2036
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2039
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2040
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2041
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2044
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2045
(Alexander Belchenko)
2047
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2049
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2052
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2053
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2054
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2055
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2056
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2057
(John Arbash Meinel)
2059
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2060
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2061
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2062
grained analysis of performance.
2063
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2065
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2066
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2068
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2069
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2070
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2071
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2072
file. (Robert Collins).
2074
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2075
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2076
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2078
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2079
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2082
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2083
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2085
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2086
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2087
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2088
the same way you would apply another branch.
2089
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2091
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2092
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2094
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2097
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2100
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2101
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2102
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2104
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2105
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2106
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2108
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2109
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2111
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2112
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2113
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2114
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2115
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2117
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2118
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2120
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2121
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2122
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2123
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2124
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2125
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2126
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2127
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2129
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2130
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2131
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2135
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2137
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2139
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2140
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2142
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2143
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2145
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2146
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2148
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2150
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2151
(John Arbash Meinel)
2153
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2154
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2156
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2157
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2160
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2161
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2163
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2164
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2166
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2167
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2168
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2169
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2171
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2172
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2174
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2176
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).

* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2181
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2183
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2184
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2186
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2187
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2189
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2190
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2191
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2193
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2194
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2195
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2197
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2198
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2200
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2201
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2203
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2204
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2206
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2207
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2209
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2210
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2212
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2213
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2214
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2216
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2218
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2219
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2223
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2224
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2225
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2227
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2228
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2230
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2231
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2232
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2234
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2235
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2237
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2238
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2241
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2242
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2243
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2245
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2246
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2247
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2249
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2250
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2251
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2253
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2254
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2255
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)

2261
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2277
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2279
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2280
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2282
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2283
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2284
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2288
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2290
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2291
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2293
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2297
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2298
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2299
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2300
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2304
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2305
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2306
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2310
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2311
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2312
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2316
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2317
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2321
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2323
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2324
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2325
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2326
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2327
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2328
will keep the same format.
2330
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2331
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2332
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2333
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2334
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2336
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2337
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2338
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2339
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2340
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2341
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2342
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2344
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2345
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2346
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2347
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2348
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2350
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2351
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2352
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2358
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2359
convention. Paths now take the form::
2361
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2363
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2365
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2366
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2368
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2369
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2370
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2372
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2373
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2374
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2375
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2377
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2378
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2379
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2381
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2383
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2385
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2386
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2389
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2390
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2393
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2395
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2396
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2397
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2400
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2402
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2404
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2407
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2408
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2410
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2411
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2414
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2415
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2418
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2420
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2422
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2423
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2425
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2426
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2427
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2428
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2429
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2430
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2432
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2434
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2435
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2438
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2439
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2441
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2442
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2444
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2446
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2447
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2448
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2449
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2450
specification by Martin Pool.
2451
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2453
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2456
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2457
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2459
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2460
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2461
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2463
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2465
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2466
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2471
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2472
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2474
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2476
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2478
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2481
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2482
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2483
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2484
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2488
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2489
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2490
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2491
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2493
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2494
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2495
tried. (Martin Pool)
2497
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2500
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2502
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2503
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2504
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2506
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2507
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2509
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2510
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2511
paths. (Robert Collins)
2513
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2514
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2515
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2517
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2518
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2519
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2521
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2522
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2523
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2525
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2528
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2531
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2533
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2535
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2536
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2537
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2540
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2541
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2543
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2544
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2545
check. (Robert Collins)
2547
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2548
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2552
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2553
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2555
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2556
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2557
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2558
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2560
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2561
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2562
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2563
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2564
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2566
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2567
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2568
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2570
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2572
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2573
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2579
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2580
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2582
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2583
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2584
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2587
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2588
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2590
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2591
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2592
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2593
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2594
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2596
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2597
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2598
used. (Robert Collins)
2600
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2601
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2604
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2605
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2606
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2608
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2611
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2612
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2616
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2617
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2619
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2621
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2623
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2624
tree. (Robert Collins)
2626
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2627
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2628
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2631
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2634
* Tweaks to short log printing
2636
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2639
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2640
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2642
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2643
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2645
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2646
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2648
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2649
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2650
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2652
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2653
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2655
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2656
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2659
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2660
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2662
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2663
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2665
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2666
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2668
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2671
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2672
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2674
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2675
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2677
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2678
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2679
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2683
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2685
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2687
* Error when run with -OO
2689
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2692
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2694
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2696
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2697
ignored by diff and status
2699
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2700
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2702
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2704
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2706
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2707
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2709
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2710
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2712
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2715
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2716
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2718
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2720
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2721
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2723
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2726
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2727
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2729
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2733
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2734
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2736
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2738
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2740
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2742
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2743
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2744
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2746
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2748
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2749
(John Arbash Meinel)
2751
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2753
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2754
If adding a new test script please add that to
2755
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2757
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2758
imported. (Martin Pool)
2760
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2761
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2762
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2763
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2764
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2767
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2768
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2769
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2771
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2772
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2773
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2775
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2776
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2777
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2778
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2779
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2782
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2783
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2788
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2789
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2791
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2792
function. (Robert Collins)
2794
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2795
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2796
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2798
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2799
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2802
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2803
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2804
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2805
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2806
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2807
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2808
version. (Robert Collins)
2810
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2811
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2813
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2814
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2815
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2816
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2817
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2818
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2820
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2823
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2833
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2835
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2837
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2840
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2841
query method. (Robert Collins)
2843
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2846
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2849
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2852
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2853
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2854
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2855
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2857
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2858
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2859
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2860
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2862
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2863
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2869
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2872
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2876
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2877
a separator, not ':'.
2880
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2881
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2882
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2884
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2885
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2888
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2889
has been added that suppresses all output.
2891
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2894
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2895
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2897
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2898
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2900
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2901
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2903
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2904
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2905
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2906
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2908
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2910
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2911
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2913
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2914
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2916
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2917
output directory, if one was supplied.
2919
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2920
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2921
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2922
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2924
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2926
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2927
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2929
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2930
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2931
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2933
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2934
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2936
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2939
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2941
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2945
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2946
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2947
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2949
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2950
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2951
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2953
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2954
is given. (Martin Pool)
2956
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2957
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2958
file. (Robert Collins)
2960
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2965
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2966
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2967
representation. (Martin Pool).
2969
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2970
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2971
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2973
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2976
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2977
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2980
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2981
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2982
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2983
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2984
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2986
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2987
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2988
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2989
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2990
python path. (Robert Collins)
2992
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2993
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2994
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2995
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2997
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2998
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3000
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3001
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3004
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3005
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3006
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3008
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3009
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3010
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3012
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3013
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3015
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3016
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3017
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3020
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3021
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3022
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3023
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3026
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3029
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3030
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3033
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3034
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3035
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3037
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3038
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3039
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3041
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3042
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3043
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3045
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3046
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3048
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3049
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3050
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3051
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3052
caller. (Robert Collins)
3054
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3055
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3058
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3059
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3062
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3064
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3065
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3069
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3070
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3072
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3073
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3076
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3080
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3081
allow directories to be listed.
3083
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3084
upgrading branch format.
3088
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3095
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3096
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3097
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3098
high-latency connections.
3102
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3105
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3106
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3108
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3109
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3110
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3111
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3113
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3114
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3116
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3117
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3119
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3120
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3121
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3123
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3124
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3125
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3128
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3129
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3131
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3132
different partial views of history.
3134
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3135
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3139
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3140
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3141
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3143
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3144
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3147
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3148
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3150
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3153
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3154
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3156
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3157
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3158
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3159
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3161
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3163
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3164
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3167
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3168
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3170
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3171
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3172
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3177
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3178
for your viewing pleasure.
3180
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3181
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3183
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3184
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3185
handling of such circumstances.
3187
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3188
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3189
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3191
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3193
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3194
we call them revisions not patches.
3196
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3197
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3199
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3200
giving the revision *of that file*.
3202
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3203
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3204
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3208
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3209
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3211
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3212
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3215
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3219
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3221
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3224
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3226
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3228
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3229
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3233
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5
* Status now accepted a -r argument to give status between chosen
