9
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
12
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
13
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
14
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
15
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
18
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
22
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
23
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
24
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
25
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
27
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
28
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
30
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
32
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
33
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
34
server, then you can write over the http connection.
37
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
38
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
39
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
40
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
42
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
43
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
44
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
45
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
50
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
51
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
55
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
56
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
57
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
59
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
60
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
63
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
64
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
65
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
67
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
68
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
71
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
72
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
73
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
75
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
76
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
77
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
78
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
79
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
80
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
82
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
83
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
84
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
87
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
88
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
92
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
93
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
94
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
97
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
98
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
100
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
101
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
102
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
104
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
105
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
107
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
108
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
109
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
110
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
112
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
113
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
115
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
116
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
117
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
119
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
120
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
122
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
126
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
127
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
128
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
129
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
131
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
132
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
133
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
137
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
139
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
143
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
145
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
148
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
152
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
153
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
154
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
155
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
156
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
157
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
158
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
160
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
161
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
162
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
164
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
166
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
167
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
169
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
170
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
171
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
174
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
175
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
176
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
179
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
180
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
181
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
182
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
185
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
186
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
187
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
192
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
193
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
195
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
197
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
198
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
199
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
201
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
202
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
204
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
205
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
207
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
210
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
211
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
213
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
215
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
216
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
218
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
219
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
221
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
222
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
224
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
227
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
228
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
229
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
231
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
232
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
234
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
235
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
236
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
237
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
239
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
240
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
241
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
243
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
244
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
248
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
252
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
253
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
256
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
257
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
258
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
259
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
261
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
264
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
265
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
266
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
268
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
269
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
271
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
272
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
273
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
275
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
276
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
277
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
278
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
279
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
280
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
281
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
282
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
285
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
286
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
288
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
289
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
291
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
292
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
293
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
294
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
295
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
296
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
297
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
299
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
300
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
301
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
302
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
303
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
304
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
305
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
306
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
309
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
310
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
311
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
313
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
314
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
316
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
317
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
319
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
320
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
324
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
325
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
327
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
328
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
331
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
332
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
333
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
338
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
339
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
341
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
342
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
343
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
344
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
345
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
347
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
348
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
349
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
351
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
352
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
354
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
355
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
356
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
360
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
362
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
363
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
364
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
366
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
368
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
370
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
371
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
372
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
373
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
375
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
376
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
377
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
378
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
379
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
381
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
382
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
384
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
385
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
387
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
388
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
390
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
391
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
394
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
395
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
399
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
400
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
401
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
402
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
405
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
406
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
407
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
413
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
414
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
415
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
416
specific one '.bzrignore'.
417
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
418
a more conservative list than the old default.
419
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
420
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
421
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
422
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
424
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
425
to more locations than just branch locations.
430
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
431
revno:N:branch. For example,
432
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
433
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
435
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
436
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
437
the path of a file that has been versioned.
438
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
439
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
440
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
441
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
442
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
445
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
446
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
447
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
450
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
451
(Alexander Belchenko)
453
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
455
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
458
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
459
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
460
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
461
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
462
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
465
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
466
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
467
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
468
grained analysis of performance.
469
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
471
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
472
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
474
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
475
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
476
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
477
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
478
file. (Robert Collins).
480
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
481
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
482
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
484
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
485
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
488
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
489
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
491
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
492
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
493
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
494
the same way you would apply another branch.
495
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
497
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
498
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
500
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
503
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
506
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
507
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
508
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
510
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
511
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
512
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
514
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
515
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
517
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
518
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
519
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
520
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
521
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
523
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
524
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
526
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
527
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
528
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
529
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
530
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
531
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
532
branch is as much as 4x faster.
533
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
535
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
536
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
537
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
541
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
542
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
545
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
546
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
548
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
549
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
551
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
552
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
554
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
556
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
559
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
560
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
562
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
563
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
566
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
567
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
569
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
570
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
572
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
573
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
574
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
575
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
577
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
578
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
580
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
582
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
583
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
585
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
587
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
589
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
590
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
592
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
593
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
595
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
596
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
597
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
599
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
600
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
601
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
603
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
604
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
606
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
607
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
609
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
610
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
612
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
613
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
615
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
616
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
618
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
619
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
620
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
622
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
624
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
625
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
629
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
630
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
631
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
633
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
634
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
636
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
637
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
638
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
640
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
641
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
643
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
644
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
647
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
648
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
649
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
651
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
652
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
653
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
655
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
656
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
657
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
659
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
660
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
661
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
663
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
664
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
665
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
667
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
668
instead. (Robert Collins)
670
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
676
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
682
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
683
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
685
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
686
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
688
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
689
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
690
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
694
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
696
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
697
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
699
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
703
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
704
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
705
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
706
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
710
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
711
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
712
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
716
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
717
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
718
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
722
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
723
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
727
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
729
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
730
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
731
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
732
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
733
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
734
will keep the same format.
736
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
737
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
738
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
739
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
740
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
742
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
743
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
744
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
745
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
746
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
747
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
748
indicating the current revision of the branch.
750
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
751
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
752
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
753
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
754
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
756
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
757
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
758
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
764
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
765
convention. Paths now take the form:
766
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
768
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
770
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
771
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
773
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
774
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
775
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
777
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
778
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
779
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
780
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
782
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
783
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
786
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
788
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
790
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
791
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
792
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
793
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
796
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
798
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
799
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
800
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
803
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
805
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
807
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
810
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
811
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
813
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
814
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
817
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
818
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
821
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
823
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
825
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
826
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
828
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
829
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
830
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
831
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
832
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
833
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
835
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
837
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
838
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
841
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
842
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
844
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
845
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
847
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
849
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
850
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
851
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
852
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
853
specification by Martin Pool.
854
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
856
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
859
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
860
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
862
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
863
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
864
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
866
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
868
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
869
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
874
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
875
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
877
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
879
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
881
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
884
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
885
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
886
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
887
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
891
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
892
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
893
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
894
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
896
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
897
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
900
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
903
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
905
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
906
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
907
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
909
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
910
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
912
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
913
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
914
paths. (Robert Collins)
916
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
917
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
918
needs. (Robert Collins)
920
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
921
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
922
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
924
* Progress bars are now nested - see
925
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
927
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
930
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
933
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
935
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
937
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
938
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
939
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
942
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
943
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
945
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
946
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
947
check. (Robert Collins)
949
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
950
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
954
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
955
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
957
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
958
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
959
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
960
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
962
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
963
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
964
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
965
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
966
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
968
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
969
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
970
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
972
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
974
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
975
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
981
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
982
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
984
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
985
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
986
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
989
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
990
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
992
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
993
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
994
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
995
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
998
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
999
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1000
used. (Robert Collins)
1002
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1003
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1006
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1007
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1008
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1010
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1013
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1014
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1018
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1019
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1021
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1023
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1025
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1026
tree. (Robert Collins)
1028
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1029
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1030
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1033
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1036
* Tweaks to short log printing
1038
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1041
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1042
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1044
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1045
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1047
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1048
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1050
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1051
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1052
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1054
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1055
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1057
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1058
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1061
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1062
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1064
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1065
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1067
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1068
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1070
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1073
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1074
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1076
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1077
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1079
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1080
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1081
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1085
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1087
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1089
* Error when run with -OO
1091
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1094
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1096
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1098
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1099
ignored by diff and status
1101
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1102
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1104
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1106
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1108
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1109
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1111
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1112
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1114
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1117
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1118
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1120
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1122
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1123
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1125
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1128
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1131
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1135
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1136
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1138
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1140
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1142
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1144
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1145
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1146
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1148
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1150
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1151
(John Arbash Meinel)
1153
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1155
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1156
If adding a new test script please add that to
1157
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1159
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1160
imported. (Martin Pool)
1162
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1163
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1164
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1165
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1166
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1169
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1170
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1171
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1173
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1174
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1175
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1177
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1178
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1179
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1180
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1181
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1184
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1185
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1190
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1191
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1193
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1194
function. (Robert Collins)
1196
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1197
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1198
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1200
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1201
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1203
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1204
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1205
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1206
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1207
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1208
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1209
version. (Robert Collins)
1211
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1212
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1214
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1215
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1216
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1217
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1218
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1219
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1221
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1224
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1232
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1234
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1236
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1239
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1240
query method. (Robert Collins)
1242
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1245
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1248
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1252
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1253
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1254
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1255
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1257
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1258
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1259
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1260
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1262
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1263
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1269
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1272
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1276
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1277
a separator, not ':'.
1280
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1281
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1282
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1284
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1285
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1288
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1289
has been added that suppresses all output.
1291
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1294
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1295
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1297
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1298
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1300
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1301
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1303
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1304
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1305
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1306
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1308
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1310
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1311
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1313
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1314
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1316
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1317
output directory, if one was supplied.
1319
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1320
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1321
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1322
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1324
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1326
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1327
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1329
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1330
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1331
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1333
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1334
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1336
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1339
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1341
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1345
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1346
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1347
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1349
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1350
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1351
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1353
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1354
is given. (Martin Pool)
1356
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1357
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1358
file. (Robert Collins)
1360
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1365
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1366
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1367
representation. (Martin Pool).
1369
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1370
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1371
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1373
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1376
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1377
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1380
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1381
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1382
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1383
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1384
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1386
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1387
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1388
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1389
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1390
python path. (Robert Collins)
1392
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1393
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1394
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1395
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1397
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1398
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1400
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1401
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1404
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1405
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1406
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1408
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1409
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1410
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1412
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1413
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1415
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1416
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1417
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1420
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1421
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1422
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1423
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1426
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1429
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1430
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1433
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1434
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1435
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1437
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1438
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1439
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1441
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1442
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1443
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1445
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1446
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1448
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1449
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1450
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1451
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1452
caller. (Robert Collins)
1454
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1455
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1458
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1459
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1461
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1463
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1464
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1468
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1469
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1471
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1472
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1475
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1479
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1480
allow directories to be listed.
1482
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1483
upgrading branch format.
1487
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1494
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1495
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1496
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1497
high-latency connections.
1501
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1504
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1505
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1507
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1508
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1509
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1510
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1512
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1513
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1515
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1516
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1518
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1519
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1520
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1522
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1523
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1524
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1527
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1528
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1530
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1531
different partial views of history.
1533
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1534
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1538
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1539
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1540
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1542
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1543
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1546
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1547
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1549
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1552
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1553
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1555
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1556
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1557
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1558
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1560
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1562
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1563
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1566
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1567
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1569
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1570
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1571
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1576
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1577
for your viewing pleasure.
1579
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1580
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1582
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1583
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1584
handling of such circumstances.
1589
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1590
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1592
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1593
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1596
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1600
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1602
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1605
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1607
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1609
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1610
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1614
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1615
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1617
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1618
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1619
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1620
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1623
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1624
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1628
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1630
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1631
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
