16
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
17
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
18
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
19
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
20
(John Arbash Meinel, #111127)
22
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
23
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
24
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
26
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
27
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
32
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
33
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
34
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
36
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
37
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
38
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
39
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
49
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
50
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
51
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
52
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
54
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
55
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
56
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
58
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
59
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
61
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
62
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
64
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
65
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
75
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
76
it could be recovered again.
77
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
78
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
79
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
81
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
83
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
84
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
89
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
90
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
92
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
93
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
94
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
95
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
97
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
98
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
100
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
101
tests with names that match that regular expression.
102
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
104
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
105
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
106
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
108
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
109
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
110
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
112
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
113
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
116
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
119
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
120
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
121
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
122
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
124
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
127
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
128
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
129
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
132
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
133
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
135
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
136
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
138
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
139
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
140
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
141
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
144
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
145
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
147
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
148
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
150
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
151
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
152
(Robert Collins, #107125).
154
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
155
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
156
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
158
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
159
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
160
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
162
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
163
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
164
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
165
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
167
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
168
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
169
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
170
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
172
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
173
based HTTP implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
174
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
175
and proxy: if the user is provided in the URL (bzr command line for HTTP,
176
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
177
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
178
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
179
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
186
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
187
code paths. (Robert Collins)
189
* Change the format of chroot URLS so that they can be safely manipulated
190
by generic URL utilities without causing the resulting URLs to have
191
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
192
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
193
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
195
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
196
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
198
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
199
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
201
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
202
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
204
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
205
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
207
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
208
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
209
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
212
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
213
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
214
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
215
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
216
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
219
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
220
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
221
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
223
* urllib HTTP implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
224
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
227
* urlib HTTP now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
228
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
229
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
232
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
233
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
234
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
235
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
236
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
238
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
239
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
240
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
241
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
243
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
244
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
246
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
247
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
248
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
249
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
250
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
251
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
253
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
254
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
256
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
257
help. (Robert Collins)
259
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
260
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
262
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
263
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
264
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
265
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
268
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
269
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
270
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
271
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
272
useful. (Robert Collins)
274
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
280
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
281
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
283
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
284
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
286
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
287
properly and is no longer beneficial.
288
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
290
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
293
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
294
the file, and does it faster.
295
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
297
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
298
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
299
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
301
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
302
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
303
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
304
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
306
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
307
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
308
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
309
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
311
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
312
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
314
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
315
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
316
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
317
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
320
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
322
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
323
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
325
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
326
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
328
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
329
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
330
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
331
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
335
* Handle HTTP and proxy digest authentication.
336
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
341
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
342
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
343
in running it. (Robert Collins)
345
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
346
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
348
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
349
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
350
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
351
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
352
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
353
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
354
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
355
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
357
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
358
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
359
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
361
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all URLs
362
passed to Branch APIs use proper URLs, except when local-disk paths
363
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
364
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
365
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
367
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
369
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
370
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
371
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
373
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
374
implementation of new auth schemes for both HTTP and proxy.
