:2.3.b2: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
20
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
23
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
26
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
28
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
33
* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
34
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
35
(Martin Pool, #392315)
37
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
38
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
39
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
41
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
42
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
56
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
57
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
59
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
60
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
61
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
66
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
67
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
69
* Use tests.TestCaseInTempDir for tests that requires disk resources.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #650001)
77
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
78
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
79
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
80
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
82
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
83
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
84
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
85
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
86
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
87
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
88
through the 2.3 series.
90
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
97
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
98
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
99
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
100
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
101
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
103
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
104
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
105
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
107
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
108
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
109
marked versioned too.
110
(Martin Pool, #192859)
112
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
113
target of the symlink.
114
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
116
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
117
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
118
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
120
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
121
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
122
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
123
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
125
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
126
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
128
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
129
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
132
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
133
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
134
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
137
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
138
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
140
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
142
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
143
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
144
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
145
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
146
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
148
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
149
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
151
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
156
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
157
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
159
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
160
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
161
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
163
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
164
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
166
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
170
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
171
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
172
(Martin Pool, #192859)
174
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
175
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
176
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
177
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
179
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
180
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
181
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
182
(Martin [gz], #631350)
184
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
185
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
186
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
187
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
189
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
190
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
192
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
193
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
195
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
196
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
197
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
198
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
199
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
201
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
202
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
203
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
204
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
206
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
207
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
208
(Martin [gz], #254278)
210
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
211
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
212
macrobenchmark suite.
215
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
216
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
219
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
220
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
221
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
222
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
224
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
225
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
226
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
227
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
232
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
233
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
234
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
236
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
237
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
239
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
240
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
241
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
242
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
245
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
246
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
247
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
248
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
250
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
251
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
256
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
257
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
259
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
260
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
262
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
263
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
265
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
266
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
267
marked versioned too.
268
(Martin Pool, #192859)
270
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
271
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
273
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
275
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
276
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
277
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
279
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
280
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
282
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
283
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
285
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
286
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
288
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
289
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
290
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
291
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
292
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
294
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
295
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
297
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
298
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
299
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
301
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
302
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
304
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
305
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
307
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
308
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
309
(Martin Pool, #192859)
311
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
312
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
313
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
314
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
316
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
317
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
319
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
320
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
322
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
323
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
326
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
327
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
328
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
329
(Martin [gz], #631350)
331
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
332
(Martin Pool, #98735)
334
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
337
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
338
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
339
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
340
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
342
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
343
users to attach to their own processes by default.
344
(Martin Pool, #626679)
346
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
347
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
348
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
350
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
351
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
353
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
354
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
357
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
358
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
359
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``.
360
(Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
362
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
363
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
368
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
369
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
370
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
371
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
372
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
374
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
375
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
378
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
379
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
380
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
381
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
382
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
385
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
386
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
387
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
389
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
390
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
391
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
393
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
394
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
395
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
396
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
397
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
398
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
400
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
401
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
402
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
407
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
408
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
409
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
411
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
412
to make the tests conditional.
415
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
416
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
419
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
420
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
425
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
426
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
427
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
428
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
431
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
432
relative change in revno.
435
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
436
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
437
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
439
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
440
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
441
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
442
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
443
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
444
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
445
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
446
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
448
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
449
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
451
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
452
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
458
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
464
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
465
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
467
* Catch socket errors to avoid
468
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
469
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
471
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
472
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
474
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
475
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
477
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
478
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
480
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
481
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
482
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
484
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
485
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
488
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
489
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
490
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
491
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
492
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
493
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
494
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
496
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
497
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
498
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
499
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
500
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
506
:2.2.2: NOT RELEASED YET
517
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
518
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
521
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
522
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
539
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
540
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
548
This is a bugfix release which also includes bugfixes from 2.0.6 and
549
2.1.3. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
550
earlier 2.2 releases.
555
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
556
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
557
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
559
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
560
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
561
marked versioned too.
562
(Martin Pool, #192859)
564
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
565
target of the symlink.
566
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
568
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
569
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
570
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
572
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
573
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
575
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
576
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
577
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
579
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
580
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
582
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
583
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
585
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
586
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
587
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
589
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
590
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
591
(Martin Pool, #192859)
593
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
594
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
595
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
596
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
598
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
599
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
600
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
601
(Martin [gz], #631350)
603
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
604
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
605
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
606
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
608
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
609
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
611
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
612
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
614
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
615
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
616
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
617
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
618
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
620
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
621
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
622
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
623
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
625
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
626
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
627
(Martin [gz], #254278)
629
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
630
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
631
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
632
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
634
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
635
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
636
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
637
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
642
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
643
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
644
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
649
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
655
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
656
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
658
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
659
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
660
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
661
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
662
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
668
:2.1.4: NOT RELEASED YET
679
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
680
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
683
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.

:Codename: Do run run
708
The third release in our 2.1 series addresses several user-inconvenience bugs
709
(and includes the fixes done in 2.0.6). None are critical, but upgrading is
710
recommended for all users on earlier 2.1 releases.
715
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
716
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
717
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
719
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
720
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
721
marked versioned too.
722
(Martin Pool, #192859)
724
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
725
target of the symlink.
726
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
728
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
729
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
730
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
732
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
733
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
736
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
737
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
739
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
740
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
741
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
743
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
744
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
745
(Martin Pool, #192859)
747
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
748
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
749
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.

The sixth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
791
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on

808
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)

* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
811
both working tree and branch.
812
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
814
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same

861
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
870
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
871
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
872
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
873
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
874
supported for another 6 months.)
876
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
877
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
879
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
880
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
881
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
882
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
883
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
884
readonly operations).
886
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
891
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
892
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
893
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
894
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
895
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
897
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
898
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
899
macrobenchmark suite.
905
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
906
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
908
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
910
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
911
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
914
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
915
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
917
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
918
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
920
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
921
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
922
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
923
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
925
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
926
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
931
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
932
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
934
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
935
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
936
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
941
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
942
points to Python regular expression documentation.
943
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
948
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
953
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
954
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
955
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
960
:Codename: Monkey Magic
964
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
965
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
966
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
967
stable and compatible plugin versions.
969
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
970
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
973
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
974
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
980
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
981
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
982
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
983
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
984
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
985
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
987
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
988
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
989
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
990
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
993
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
994
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
995
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
1002
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1003
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
1004
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1009
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
1010
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
1011
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
1013
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
1014
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
1015
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
1017
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
1018
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
1020
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
1021
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
1022
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
1024
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
1025
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
1026
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
1028
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
1029
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
1031
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
1032
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1034
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
1035
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1037
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
1038
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
1040
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
1041
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
1042
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
1044
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
1045
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
1046
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
1048
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
1049
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
1050
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
1051
(Robert Collins, #177500)
1053
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
1054
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
1055
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1057
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
1059
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1060
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1062
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
1063
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
1065
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
1066
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
1069
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
1070
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
1071
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
1072
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
1073
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
1075
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
1076
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
1077
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
1078
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
1080
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
1081
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
1083
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
1084
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
1085
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
1086
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
1091
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
1092
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
1093
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
1095
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
1096
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
1097
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
1098
(Robert Collins, #201613)
1100
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
1101
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
1102
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
1103
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
1104
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
1106
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
1107
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
1108
(Martin Pool, #340394)
1110
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
1111
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
1112
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
1113
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
1119
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
1121
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
1122
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
1123
development). (Robert Collins)
1125
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
1126
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
1131
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
1132
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
1133
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
1134
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
1136
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
1137
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
1138
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
1141
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
1142
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
1143
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1145
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
1146
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
1147
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
1150
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
1151
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
1152
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
1154
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
1155
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
1156
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
1157
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
1158
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
1160
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
1161
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
1162
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
1167
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
1168
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
1169
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
1170
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
1173
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
1175
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
1176
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
1177
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
1179
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
1180
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
1186
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
1187
to test. (Martin Pool)
1189
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

1197
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
1198
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
1199
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
1200
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
1201
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
1202
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
1203
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
1204
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
1207
Compatibility Breaks
1208
********************
1210
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
1211
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
1212
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
1213
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
1214
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
1215
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
1218
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
1219
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
1220
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
1222
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
1223
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
1224
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
1226
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
1227
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
1228
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1233
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
1235
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
1237
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
1238
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
1239
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
1240
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
1242
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
1243
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
1245
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
1247
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
1248
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
1249
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1251
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1252
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
1253
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
1254
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
1255
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1257
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
1258
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
1259
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
1260
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1262
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
1263
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
1264
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
1271
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
1272
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
1273
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
1275
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
1276
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
1278
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
1280
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1281
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1282
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1284
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
1285
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
1287
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
1288
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
1290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
1292
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
1293
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
1294
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
1295
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
1296
(Robert Collins, #583667)
1298
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
1299
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
1300
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
1302
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
1303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
1305
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
1306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
1308
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
1311
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1312
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1313
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1315
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1317
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
1318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
1320
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1321
versions before 1.6.
1322
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1324
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
1325
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
1326
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
1328
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1329
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1331
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
1332
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
1333
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
1335
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
1336
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
1337
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
1338
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
1340
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
1341
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
1342
to support this efficiently.
1343
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
1345
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
1346
more comprehensible.
1347
(Martin Pool, #491763)
1349
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1352
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
1353
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
1355
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
1356
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
1358
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
1360
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
1361
(Robert Collins, #558343)
1363
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1364
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1365
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1366
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1371
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
1372
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
1373
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
1374
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
1375
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
1376
(case-sensitive) as false.
1377
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
1379
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
1380
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
1381
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
1383
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
1384
be interpreted as a boolean.
1387
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
1388
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
1389
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
1390
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
1391
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
1396
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
1397
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
1400
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
1401
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
1402
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
1403
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
1404
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
1408
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
1409
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
1410
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
1411
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
1412
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
1413
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
1415
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
1416
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
1417
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
1418
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
1419
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
1420
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
1421
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
1426
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
1427
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
1428
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
1429
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
1431
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
1434
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1435
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1436
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1437
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1439
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1441
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
1442
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
1443
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
1444
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
1446
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
1447
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
1448
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)
1453
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
1454
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
1457
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
1458
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
1460
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
1461
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
1462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
1464
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
1465
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
1473
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
1474
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
1475
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
1480
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1481
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1482
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1484
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1485
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1487
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1488
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1489
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1491
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1493
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1494
versions before 1.6.
1495
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1497
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1498
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1499
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1500
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1503
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1506
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1507
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1509
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1510
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1511
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1517
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1518
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1519
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1520
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1522
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1530
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
1531
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
1532
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
1533
of these would be welcome.
1539
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
1540
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
1545
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
1546
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
1547
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
1548
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
1549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
1551
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
1552
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
1553
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
1554
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
1556
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1557
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1559
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
1560
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
1561
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
1563
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
1564
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
1566
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
1567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
1569
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
1572
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
1573
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
1574
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
1576
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
1577
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
1578
which is not installed any more" error.
1579
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
1581
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1582
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1583
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1584
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1587
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1588
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
1592
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
1593
(Martin von Gagern, #387117)
1598
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1599
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1600
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1602
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1603
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1606
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1609
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1612
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1613
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1614
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1615
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1616
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1618
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1619
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1620
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1622
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
1624
(Martin Pool, #553017)
1629
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
1630
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1633
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
1634
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1639
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1640
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1641
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1642
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
1650
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1651
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1652
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1653
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1655
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1656
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1657
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1658
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1659
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1660
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1661
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1662
through the 2.2 series.
1664
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1665
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1666
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1668
Compatibility Breaks
1669
********************
1671
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1672
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1674
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1675
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1678
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1679
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1681
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1682
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1684
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1685
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1686
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1687
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1688
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1691
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1692
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1693
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1698
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1699
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1701
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1702
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1703
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1705
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1706
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1707
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1708
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1709
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1711
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1712
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows.
1713
(Gordon Tyler, #392428)
1715
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1716
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1719
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1720
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1721
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1722
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1723
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1724
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1726
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1727
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1730
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1731
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1732
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1735
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1736
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
1741
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1742
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1744
* Allow additional arguments to
1745
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1747
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1748
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1750
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1751
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1752
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1753
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1755
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1756
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1758
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1759
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1761
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1762
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1764
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1767
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1768
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1769
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1771
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1772
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1773
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1774
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1775
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1777
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1778
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1781
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1782
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1784
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1785
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1788
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1789
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1790
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1792
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1793
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1795
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1797
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1798
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1800
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1801
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1802
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1804
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1805
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1808
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1811
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1812
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1815
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1816
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1817
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1818
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1820
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1822
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1823
deletion is involved.
1824
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1826
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1827
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1828
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1830
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1831
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1832
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1834
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1835
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1837
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1838
the debugger won't kill the session.
1839
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1841
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1842
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1844
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1845
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1846
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1848
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
1849
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1854
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1855
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1858
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1859
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1861
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1862
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1864
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1865
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1866
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1867
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1869
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1870
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1871
to be done separately.
1872
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1874
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1875
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1878
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1879
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1881
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1882
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
1884
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
1887
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
1893
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1894
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1896
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1897
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1898
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1900
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1901
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1902
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1903
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1906
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1907
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1909
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1910
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1912
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1913
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
1919
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1920
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1921
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1923
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1926
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1927
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1930
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1931
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1932
dependency regressions.
1935
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1936
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1938
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1939
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1941
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1942
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1943
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1944
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1945
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1946
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
1953
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
1954
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
1959
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1960
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1961
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1962
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1964
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1965
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1967
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1969
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1972
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1973
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1975
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1977
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1978
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1979
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1981
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1982
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1983
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1984
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1985
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1987
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1988
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1990
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1991
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
1992
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
1997
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1999
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
2001
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
2002
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
2007
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
2008
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
2009
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
2010
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
2018
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
2019
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
2020
earlier 2.0 releases.
2025
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
2026
(Martin Pool, #331095)
2028
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2029
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2030
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2031
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2032
another process already removed the file.
2033
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2035
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
2036
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2038
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2040
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2041
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2042
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2044
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
2046
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
2047
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
2049
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
2050
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
2051
``UnboundLocalError``.
2052
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2054
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
2055
version number along with rest of the help text.
2056
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
2058
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
2060
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
2065
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
2066
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
2068
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
2069
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
2075
:Codename: Strasbourg
2078
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
2079
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
2080
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
2082
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
2083
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
2084
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
2085
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
2086
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
2087
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
2089
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
2094
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
2095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
2097
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
2098
(Martin Pool, #513432)
2100
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
2101
when it encounters conflicts.
2102
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
2104
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
2105
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
2107
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
2108
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
2109
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
2110
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
2111
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
2112
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
2114
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
2115
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
2116
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
2121
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
2127
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2128
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2131
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
2132
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
2135
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2136
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2138
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
2139
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
2140
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
2141
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
2142
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
2143
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
2144
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
2145
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
2147
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
2149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
2154
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
2155
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
2156
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
2158
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
2163
* The ``remove_index`` method of
2164
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
2165
argument. This argument was always ignored.
2166
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
2171
:Codename: after the bubbles
2172
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
2174
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
2175
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
2180
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
2181
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
2182
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
2183
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
2184
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
2185
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
2186
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
2192
:Codename: the 'new' stable
2193
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
2195
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
2196
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
2197
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
2198
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
2199
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
2200
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
2201
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
2202
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
2203
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
2209
* Add bug information to log output when available.
2210
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
2212
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
2213
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
2216
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
2217
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
2218
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
2221
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
2222
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
2224
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
2225
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
2227
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
2228
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
2229
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
2231
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
2232
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
2233
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
2234
Martin Pool, #45719)
2236
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
2237
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
2238
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
2240
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
2241
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
2242
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
2243
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
2244
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
2245
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
2247
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
2248
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
2249
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
2250
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
2251
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
2256
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
2257
user-specified commit message editor.
2258
(Martin Pool, #504842)
2260
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
2261
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
2262
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
2264
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
2265
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
2266
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
2268
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
2269
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
2271
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2272
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2273
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2274
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2275
another process already removed the file.
2276
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2278
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
2279
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
2281
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
2282
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
2283
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
2285
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
2286
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
2288
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
2289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
2291
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
2292
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
2294
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
2295
(Martin Pool, #320035)
2297
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
2298
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
2299
depended on this behaviour.
2300
(Martin Pool, #499757)
2302
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
2303
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
2304
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
2305
should appear up-to-date.)
2306
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
2311
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
2312
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
2313
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
2314
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
2316
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
2317
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
2319
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
2320
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
2321
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2323
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
2324
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
2325
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2327
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
2328
(__monty__, #257170)
2330
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
2331
Bazaar is doing network IO.
2337
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
2338
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
2340
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
2341
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
2343
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
2344
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
2346
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
2347
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
2349
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
2350
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
2351
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2353
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
2356
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
2357
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
2363
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
2366
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
2367
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
2368
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
2369
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
2371
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
2372
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
2373
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
2375
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
2376
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
2378
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
2379
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
2380
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
2381
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
2383
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
2389
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
2390
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
2391
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2393
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
2394
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
2395
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
2396
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
2398
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
2399
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2404
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
2405
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
2406
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
2407
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
2408
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2410
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
2411
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
2412
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
2413
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
2414
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
2415
suite. (Robert Collins)
2417
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
2418
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
2419
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2421
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
2422
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
2428
:Codename: smooth sailing
2431
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2432
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2433
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2434
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2440
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2441
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2443
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2444
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2445
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2446
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2448
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2449
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2450
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2451
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2452
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2454
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2455
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2456
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2458
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2459
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2460
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2461
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2463
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2464
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2466
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2467
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2468
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2469
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2470
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2472
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2473
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2474
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2475
users, rather than something nicer.
2476
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2478
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2479
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2481
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2482
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2483
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2485
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2486
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2487
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2489
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2490
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2491
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2492
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2493
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2495
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2496
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2497
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2502
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2503
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2504
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2505
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
2514
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2515
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2516
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2517
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2518
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
2519
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
2522
Compatibility Breaks
2523
********************
2525
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2526
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2527
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2528
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2529
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2534
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2535
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2537
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2538
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2540
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2541
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2543
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2544
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2545
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2546
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2550
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2551
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2559
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2560
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2561
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2563
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2564
and issues a warning.
2565
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2567
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2569
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2570
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2572
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2573
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2574
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2575
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2577
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2579
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
2580
(Robert Collins, #84659)
2582
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
2584
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
2585
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
2587
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2589
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2590
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2592
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2593
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2594
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2595
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2597
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
2598
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2600
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2601
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2603
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2604
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2605
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2607
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2608
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2609
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2610
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2612
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2613
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2614
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2616
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2617
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2618
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2619
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2621
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2622
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
2623
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
2629
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2631
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2632
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2634
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2635
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2636
(John Arbash Meinel)
2638
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
2639
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2642
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2643
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2644
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2645
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2646
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
2651
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
2657
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
2659
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
2660
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
2661
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
2667
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2668
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2669
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2670
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2672
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2673
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2674
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2675
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2676
(John Arbash Meinel)
2678
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2679
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2680
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2681
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2682
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2683
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2688
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
2689
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
2695
:Codename: little italy
2699
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
2700
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
2706
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
2707
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
2708
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2710
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
2711
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
2713
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
2714
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
2715
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
2716
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
2718
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2724
:Codename: after sprint recovery
2725
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2727
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2728
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2729
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2730
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2732
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2733
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2734
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
2735
formats for Remote objects.
2741
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
2742
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
2747
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
2749
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
2751
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
2752
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
2754
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2756
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2757
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2758
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2759
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2760
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2761
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2763
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2764
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2765
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2766
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2768
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2769
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2771
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2772
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2774
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2775
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2776
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2777
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2778
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2779
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2780
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2782
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2783
(Alexander Belchenko)
2785
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
2786
Python level. (Martin Pool)
2791
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
2793
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2794
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2795
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2797
(Martin Pool, 493944)
2802
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
2803
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
2804
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
2809
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2810
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2812
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2813
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2815
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2816
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2818
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2819
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2821
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2822
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2823
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2824
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2826
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2827
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2829
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2830
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2831
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2832
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2834
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2835
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2836
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2837
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
2844
:Codename: a load off my mind
2845
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2847
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2848
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2850
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2851
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2852
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2853
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2854
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2857
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2858
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2859
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2860
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2861
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2862
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
2867
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2868
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2870
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2871
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2872
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2873
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2875
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2876
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2878
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2879
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2880
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2881
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2883
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2884
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2886
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2887
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2892
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2893
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2894
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2895
(John Arbash Meinel)
2897
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2898
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
2899
(John Arbash Meinel)
2904
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2905
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2910
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2912
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2913
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2919
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2920
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2921
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2922
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2923
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2924
(John Arbash Meinel)
2926
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2927
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2928
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2929
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2930
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2931
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2932
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2933
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2934
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2936
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2937
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2938
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2939
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2940
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2941
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2942
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2944
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2945
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2946
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2947
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
2953
:Codename: after the scare
2956
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
2957
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
2958
changes or features.
2963
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
2964
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
2966
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
2969
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2971
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
2972
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
2973
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
2975
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
2976
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
2978
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
2979
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
2981
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
2982
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
2987
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
2988
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
2993
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2994
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)

:Codename: While the cat is away
3001
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
3003
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
3004
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
3005
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
3006
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
3007
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
3008
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
3009
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
3011
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
3012
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
3013
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
3014
error handling during unlocking.
3020
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
3023
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
3024
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
3025
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
3026
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
3027
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
3028
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
3030
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
3031
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
3032
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
3034
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
3035
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
3038
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
3039
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
3040
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
3042
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
3043
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
3046
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
3047
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
3048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
3053
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3054
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3055
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3056
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3057
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3058
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3059
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3061
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3062
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3063
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3065
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3066
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
3067
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
3068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
3070
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
3071
merges are present in the working tree.
3072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
3074
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3075
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3077
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
3078
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
3080
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
3081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
3083
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
3084
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
3085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
3087
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3088
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3090
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
3091
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
3093
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
3094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
3096
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
3097
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
3098
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
3103
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
3104
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
3105
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
3107
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
3108
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
3109
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
3110
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
3111
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
3112
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
3113
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
3114
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
3116
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
3117
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
3118
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
3119
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
3120
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
3125
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3127
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
3128
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3133
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
3134
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3136
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
3137
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
3139
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
3140
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
3141
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
3143
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
3146
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
3147
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
3148
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
3149
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
3150
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
3152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
3154
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
3160
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
3161
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
3164
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
3165
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
3166
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
3167
(John Arbash Meinel)
3169
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
3170
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
3176
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
3177
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
3179
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
3180
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
3182
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
3183
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
3186
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
3188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
3190
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
3191
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
3193
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
3194
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
3195
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3197
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
3198
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
3199
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
3200
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
3201
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
3203
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
3204
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
3206
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
3207
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
3213
:Codename: Stability First
3216
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
3217
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
3218
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
3224
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3225
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3226
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3228
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
3229
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
3230
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
3232
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
3233
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
3234
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
3236
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
3237
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
3239
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
3240
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
3241
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
3242
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
3243
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
3245
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
3246
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
3248
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
3249
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
3250
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
3251
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
3253
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
3254
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
3255
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
3257
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
3258
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
3259
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
3260
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
3261
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
3262
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
3263
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
3265
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
3266
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3268
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
3269
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
3270
to download the entire cix file many times.
3271
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
3273
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
3274
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
3279
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3281
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
3289
:Codename: Instant Karma
3291
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
3292
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
3293
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
3294
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
3295
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
3298
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
3299
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
3301
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3302
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
3303
months or until the following stable release.
3305
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
3306
******************************
3308
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
3309
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
3310
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
3311
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3317
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
3322
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
3323
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
3324
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
3329
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3330
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3331
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3332
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3333
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3334
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3335
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3337
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
3338
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
3339
(Robert Collins, #416732)
3341
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
3342
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
3344
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
3345
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
3346
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3348
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3349
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3351
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
3352
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
3353
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
3354
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
3355
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
3356
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
3357
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
3359
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
3360
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
3361
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
3362
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
3363
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
3364
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
3366
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
3367
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
3368
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3370
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
3371
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
3372
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3374
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
3375
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
3376
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
3378
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3379
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3381
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
3382
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
3383
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
3384
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
3389
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
3390
older smart servers.
3391
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
3393
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
3394
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3396
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
3397
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
3398
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
3400
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
3401
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
3402
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
3404
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
3405
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
3415
********************
3417
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3418
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3419
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3420
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3421
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
3423
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
3424
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
3425
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
3426
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
3431
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
3432
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3437
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3438
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3440
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3441
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3442
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3443
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3444
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3446
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
3447
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
3448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
3450
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3453
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
3454
(Martin Pool, #286871)
3456
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
3457
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3458
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3460
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3461
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3462
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
3463
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
3468
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3469
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3470
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3472
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3473
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3474
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3475
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3477
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
3479
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
3480
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3482
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3483
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3485
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3486
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3487
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3489
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3490
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3491
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3492
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3493
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3494
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
3499
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
3505
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3506
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3507
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3515
:Codename: nein nein nein!
3518
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
3519
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
3520
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
3521
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
3522
pushing to older servers.
3527
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
3528
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
3529
(Martin Pool, #415508)
3531
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
3532
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
3533
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
3538
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
3539
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3541
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
3542
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3547
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3548
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3549
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3551
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
3552
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
3553
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
3555
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
3556
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
3557
should be used. (Robert Collins)
3562
Compatibility Breaks
3563
********************
3565
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
3566
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
3567
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
3568
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
3569
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
3577
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3578
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3579
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
3580
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
3581
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
3583
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3586
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
3587
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
3589
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3590
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3592
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3593
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3594
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3595
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3597
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
3598
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
3599
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
3601
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3602
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
3604
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3605
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
3606
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
3607
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
3612
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3613
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3614
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3616
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3617
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3618
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3619
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
3620
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
3622
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3623
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
3624
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
3625
(John Arbash Meinel)
3636
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
3637
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
3638
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
3639
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
3640
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
3641
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
3643
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
3644
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
3645
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
3646
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
3648
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
3649
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
3650
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
3651
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
3652
(John Arbash Meinel)
3654
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
3655
protocols. (Robert Collins)
3657
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
3658
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
3659
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
3660
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
3666
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
3667
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

3675
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
3677
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3678
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3679
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3680
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3681
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3682
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3684
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3685
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3686
or until the following stable release.
3688
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
3693
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3694
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3696
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3697
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3698
(Martin Pool, #391411)
3703
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3704
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3705
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3707
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3708
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3709
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3710
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3712
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3713
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3714
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3715
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3717
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3718
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3720
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3721
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3722
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3723
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3725
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3726
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3728
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3729
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3731
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3732
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3733
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3734
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3735
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3737
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3738
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3739
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3741
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3742
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3743
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3744
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3745
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3747
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3748
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3750
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3751
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3752
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3754
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3755
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3756
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3758
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3759
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3761
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3762
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3763
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3765
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3766
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3768
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3769
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3771
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3772
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3774
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3775
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3776
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3778
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3779
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3780
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3782
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3784
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3785
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3787
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3788
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3789
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3790
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3791
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3792
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3794
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3795
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3796
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3798
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3799
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3800
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3801
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3803
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3804
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3805
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3806
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3807
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3809
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3810
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3811
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3816
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3819
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3820
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3821
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3822
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3824
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3825
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
3826
(John Arbash Meinel)
3831
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3836
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3837
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3838
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3839
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3840
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3841
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3843
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3846
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3849
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3853
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3854
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3859
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3860
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3861
paths. (Robert Collins)
3863
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3864
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3866
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3867
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3868
disk. (Robert Collins)
3870
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3871
it. (Robert Collins)
3873
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3874
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3875
(Alexander Belchenko)
3881
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3882
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3884
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3885
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3887
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3888
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3889
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3890
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3891
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3892
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
3895
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
3896
#######################
3901
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3902
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3903
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
3909
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
3913
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3914
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3917
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3918
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3919
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3920
annoying progress bar artifacts.
3923
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3924
*********************************
3926
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3927
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3928
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3930
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3931
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3932
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3934
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3935
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3938
Compatibility Breaks
3939
********************
3941
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3942
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3943
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
3944
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
3950
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3951
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3952
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3953
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3955
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3956
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3957
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3959
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3960
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3961
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3965
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3966
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3967
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3968
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3974
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3975
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3977
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3978
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3979
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3980
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3982
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3983
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3985
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3986
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3987
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3989
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3990
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3992
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3993
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3995
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3996
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3998
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3999
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
4000
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
4002
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
4005
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
4006
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
4008
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
4009
of a remote repository.
4010
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
4012
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
4013
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
4016
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
4018
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
4020
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
4021
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
4023
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
4024
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
4026
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
4027
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
4028
(Martin Pool, #339385)
4030
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
4031
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
4032
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
4033
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
4034
(John Arbash Meinel)
4036
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
4037
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
4038
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
4040
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
4041
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
4042
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
4043
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
4044
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
4045
(Robert Collins, #376243)
4047
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
4048
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
4049
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
4050
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
4051
activity display respectively.
4052
(Martin Pool, #340347)
4054
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
4055
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
4057
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
4060
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
4061
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
4067
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
4068
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
4069
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
4070
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
4072
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
4073
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
4074
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
4075
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
4078
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
4079
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
4081
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
4082
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
4083
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
4084
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
4085
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
4086
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4088
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
4089
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
4090
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
4091
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
4093
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
4094
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
4095
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
4096
(John Arbash Meinel)
4099
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
4100
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
4101
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
4102
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
4108
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
4109
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
4110
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
4111
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4113
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
4114
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
4115
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
4117
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
4120
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
4121
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
4123
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
4124
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
4125
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4127
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
4128
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
4129
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
4130
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
4132
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
4138
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
4139
formatting in the user reference.
4140
(Martin Pool, #249908)
4142
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
4148
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
4151
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
4152
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
4153
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
4159
:Released: 2009-06-26
4161
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
4162
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
4163
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
4166
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
4167
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
4168
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
4170
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
4171
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
4176
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
4177
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4179
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
4180
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
4181
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
4183
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
4184
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
4185
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
4186
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
4187
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
4188
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
4189
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4191
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
4192
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
4193
converted data. (Robert Collins)
4195
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
4196
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
4197
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
4199
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
4200
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
4201
that. (Robert Collins)
4203
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
4204
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
4205
repository. (Robert Collins)
4207
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
4208
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
4209
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
4210
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
4220
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
4221
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
4222
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
4223
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
4225
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
4226
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
4227
bug fixes and improvements.
4230
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
4231
*********************************
4233
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
4234
2a can work correctly.
4235
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
4237
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
4238
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
4239
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
4242
Compatibility Breaks
4243
********************
4245
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
4246
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
4247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
4253
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
4254
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
4255
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
4256
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
4257
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
4258
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
4261
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
4262
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
4263
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
4264
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
4266
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
4267
and more concisely repacks the full history.
4269
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
4270
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
4272
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
4273
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
4274
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
4276
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
4277
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
4283
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
4284
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
4285
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4287
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
4288
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
4289
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
4290
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
4291
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
4293
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
4294
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
4295
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
4296
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
4298
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
4299
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
4305
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
4306
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
4307
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
4308
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
4314
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
4315
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
4317
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
4318
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
4320
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
4321
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
4322
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
4324
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
4325
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
4327
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
4328
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
4329
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
4331
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
4332
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
4333
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
4334
(John Arbash Meinel)
4336
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
4337
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
4339
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
4340
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
4342
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
4343
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
4345
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
4346
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
4347
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
4348
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
4349
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
4350
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
4352
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
4354
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
4355
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
4357
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
4358
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
4360
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
4361
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
4362
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
4363
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
4364
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
4366
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4367
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4368
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4369
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
4374
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
4375
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
4376
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
4381
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
4383
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
4384
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
4385
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4387
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
4388
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
4389
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
4391
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
4392
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4394
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
4395
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
4400
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
4401
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4406
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
4407
(Martin Pool, #386180)
4409
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
4411
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4413
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
4418
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
4422
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
4423
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
4424
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
4425
revisions introduce the exact same line.
4427
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
4428
*****************************
4430
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
4431
(Alexander Belchenko)
4433
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
4434
*********************************
4436
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4437
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4438
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4439
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
4441
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
4442
*********************************
4446
Compatibility Breaks
4447
********************
4449
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
4450
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
4451
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
4452
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
4457
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4458
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4461
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
4462
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
4463
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
4464
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4466
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
4467
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
4468
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
4469
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
4471
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4472
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4475
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
4476
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
4477
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4482
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
4483
server. (Jonathan Lange)
4485
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
4486
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
4488
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
4489
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
4490
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
4492
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
4497
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
4498
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
4500
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
4502
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
4503
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
4505
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
4506
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
4508
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
4509
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
4511
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
4512
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
4513
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
4514
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
4516
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
4517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
4519
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4520
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4522
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
4523
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
4525
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
4526
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
4528
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
4529
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
4531
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
4532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
4534
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
4535
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4537
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4538
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4539
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4540
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4541
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4542
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4543
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4544
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4545
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4546
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4547
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4548
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4549
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4550
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
4552
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
4553
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
4554
(Robert Collins, #368921)
4556
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
4557
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
4565
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
4566
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
4567
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
4569
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
4570
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
4571
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
4572
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
4573
(Alexander Belchenko)
4578
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
4579
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
4580
encoding. (Robert Collins)
4582
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
4583
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
4586
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4587
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4588
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4589
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4590
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4592
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4593
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4594
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4596
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4597
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4598
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4599
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4601
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4602
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4603
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4605
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4606
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4608
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4609
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4610
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4611
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4613
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4614
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4615
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4617
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4618
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4620
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4621
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4622
branches. (Robert Collins)
4624
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4625
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4627
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4632
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4633
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4684
********************
4686
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4687
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4688
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4689
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4690
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4692
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4693
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4694
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4696
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4697
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4698
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4699
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4700
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4705
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4706
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4707
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4708
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4709
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4712
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4715
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4716
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4718
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4719
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4720
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4721
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4722
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4724
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4725
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4727
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4730
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4731
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4732
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4733
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4736
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4737
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4738
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4739
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4740
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4742
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4743
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4746
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4752
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4753
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4754
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4756
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4757
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4758
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4759
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4760
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4762
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4763
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4766
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4767
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4768
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4770
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4773
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4776
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4777
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4779
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4780
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4782
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4783
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4785
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4786
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4789
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4790
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4791
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4793
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4794
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4795
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4798
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4799
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4800
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4801
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4803
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4804
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4805
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4806
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4807
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4808
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4809
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4810
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4811
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4813
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
4819
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4820
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4821
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4822
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4823
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4824
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4825
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4827
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4828
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4830
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4831
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4832
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4833
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4835
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4836
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4838
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4840
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4843
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4844
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4845
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4847
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4848
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4850
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4851
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4853
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4854
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4855
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4857
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4858
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4859
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4860
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4862
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4864
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4867
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4868
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4869
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4870
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4871
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4873
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4874
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4875
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4876
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4877
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4878
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4879
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4881
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4882
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4884
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4885
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4888
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4889
(James Westby, #341558)
4891
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4892
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4894
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4895
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4900
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4902
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4904
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
4905
(James Westby, #336998)
4910
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4913
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4914
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4917
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4918
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4921
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4922
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4923
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4925
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4926
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4927
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4929
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4930
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4931
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4932
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4935
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4936
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4939
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4942
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4943
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4945
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4946
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4947
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4948
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4950
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4951
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4952
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4957
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4958
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4959
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4960
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4961
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4963
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4966
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4967
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4968
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4969
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4975
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4976
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4978
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4979
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4981
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4982
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4983
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4985
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4986
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4987
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4988
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4990
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4991
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4992
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4993
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4995
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4996
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4997
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4999
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
5000
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
5001
dependency. (Robert Collins)
5003
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
5004
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
5005
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5007
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
5008
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
5011
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
5012
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
5013
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
5015
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
5016
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5018
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
5019
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
5020
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5022
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
5023
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
5026
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
5027
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
5028
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5030
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
5031
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
5032
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
5033
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
5034
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
5036
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
5037
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
5038
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
5039
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5041
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
5042
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
5043
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
5044
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5046
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
5047
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
5048
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5050
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
5051
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
5054
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
5055
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
5056
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
5058
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
5059
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
5060
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
5061
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
5062
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
5064
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
5065
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
5066
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
5069
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
5070
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
5071
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
5072
desired. (Robert Collins)
5074
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
5075
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
5076
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
5077
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5079
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
5080
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
5081
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
5098
*****************************
5100
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
5101
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
5102
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
5103
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
5104
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
5105
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
5111
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
5112
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
5113
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5115
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
5116
********************************
5118
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
5119
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
5120
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
5125
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
5126
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
5128
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
5129
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
5131
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
5132
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
5134
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
5136
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
5137
*********************************
5139
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
5140
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
5141
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
5143
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
5144
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
5146
Compatibility Breaks
5147
********************
5149
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
5150
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
5151
command may need to be adjusted.
5152
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5157
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
5158
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
5159
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
5161
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
5164
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
5165
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
5166
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
5169
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
5170
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
5172
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
5173
(John Arbash Meinel)
5175
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
5176
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
5178
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
5180
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
5181
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
5184
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
5190
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
5191
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
5192
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
5193
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
5194
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
5195
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
5196
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
5197
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
5200
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
5201
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
5203
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
5204
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
5205
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
5207
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
5208
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
5210
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
5211
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
5212
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
5215
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
5216
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
5217
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5219
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
5220
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
5221
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
5222
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5224
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
5227
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
5228
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
5230
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
5231
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
5233
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
5234
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
5235
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
5237
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
5242
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
5243
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
5245
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
5246
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
5247
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
5249
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
5250
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
5251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
5253
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
5254
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
5256
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
5257
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
5260
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
5261
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
5262
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
5264
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
5265
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
5267
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
5268
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
5270
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
5271
(James Westby, #174539)
5273
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
5274
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
5276
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
5277
error branching from old repositories.
5278
(Martin Pool, #321695)
5280
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
5281
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
5283
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
5284
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
5285
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
5286
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5288
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
5289
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
5292
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
5293
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
5295
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
5296
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
5298
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
5299
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
5300
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5302
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
5303
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
5305
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
5306
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
5311
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
5312
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
5313
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
5316
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
5317
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
5319
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
5320
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
5325
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
5326
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
5327
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
5328
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
5329
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
5331
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
5332
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5334
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
5335
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
5336
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
5337
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
5338
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
5339
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
5341
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
5342
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
5344
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
5345
"author" argument being deprecated.
5347
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
5349
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
5350
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
5351
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
5352
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
5354
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
5355
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
5356
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
5358
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
5359
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
5360
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
5362
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
5363
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
5365
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
5366
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
5367
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
5368
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
5373
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
5374
free of virtual file system methods.
5375
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5377
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
5378
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
5379
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
5381
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
5382
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
5383
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
5384
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
5385
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
5386
(Robert Collins, #334187)
5388
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
5390
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
5391
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
5393
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5394
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5395
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5396
stream the operation.
5397
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5399
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5400
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5402
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5403
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5404
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5405
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5406
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5408
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5409
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5411
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5412
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5413
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5415
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5416
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5419
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5422
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5423
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5424
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5426
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5427
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5428
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5430
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5431
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5432
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5434
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5435
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5436
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5438
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5439
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5440
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5441
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5442
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5444
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5445
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5446
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5447
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5448
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5449
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5451
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5452
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5453
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5454
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5455
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5457
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5458
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5460
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5461
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5463
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5464
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5465
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5466
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5467
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5469
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5470
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
5481
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5482
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5483
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5484
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5485
by showing the rate of network IO.
5487
Changes from RC1 to Final
5488
*************************
5490
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5491
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5493
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5494
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5496
Compatibility Breaks
5497
********************
5499
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5500
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5501
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5502
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5504
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5505
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5506
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5509
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5510
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5511
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5512
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5514
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5515
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5516
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5519
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5524
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5525
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5526
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5529
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5530
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5531
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5533
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5534
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5535
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5536
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5537
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5538
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5539
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5540
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5541
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5547
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5550
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5553
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5554
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5555
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5557
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5558
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5559
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5560
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5561
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5563
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5564
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5566
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5567
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5568
level for better precision.
5571
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5572
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5574
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5575
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5576
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5578
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5579
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5580
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5583
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5584
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5585
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5590
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5592
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5594
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5595
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5596
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5598
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5599
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5600
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5601
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5602
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5603
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5605
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5606
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5608
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5609
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5611
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5612
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5613
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5615
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5616
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5617
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5620
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5621
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5623
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5624
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5625
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5626
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5628
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5629
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5631
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5633
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
5638
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5643
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5644
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5647
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5648
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5650
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5651
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5653
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5654
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5656
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5657
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5658
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5659
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5661
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5662
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5663
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5668
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5669
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5670
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5671
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5672
compile buffers, are such an example).
5675
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5676
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5679
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5680
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5681
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5684
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5685
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5687
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5688
formatters to retrict the output.
5695
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
5696
:Released: 2009-01-19
5698
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5699
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5700
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5701
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5702
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5704
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5705
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5708
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5709
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
5714
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
5717
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

:Codename: "Eyes up!"
5726
:Released: 2009-01-09
5731
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5732
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5737
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5738
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5740
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5741
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5742
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5743
implement other plugins.
5746
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
5752
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5753
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5755
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5756
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5758
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5759
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5760
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5761
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5764
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5765
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5766
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5767
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5768
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5770
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5771
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5772
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5773
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5774
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
5779
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5780
control directory. (#139691)
5782
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5783
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5785
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5786
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5788
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5789
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5790
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
5792
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
5793
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
5795
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
5796
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5797
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5799
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
5800
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
5802
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
5805
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
5806
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
5807
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
5809
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5810
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5812
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5813
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5814
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5816
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5817
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5818
in the appropriate sections.
5819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5821
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
5822
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5823
(John Arbash meinel)
5825
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5826
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
5828
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
5829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
5831
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
5832
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5834
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5835
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
5836
work better with how it splits its requests.
5837
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
5839
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5840
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5841
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5843
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
5846
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
5848
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
5849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
5851
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
5857
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
5858
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
5859
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
5865
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5866
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5867
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5868
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5870
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5871
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5873
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5874
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5875
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5876
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5878
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5879
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5880
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5881
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5886
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5887
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5888
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5890
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5891
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5892
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5893
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5895
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5896
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5897
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
5903
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
5904
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5905
(John Arbash Meinel)
5907
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5908
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5909
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5910
(John Arbash Meinel)
5912
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5913
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5914
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5915
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5917
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5918
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5919
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5921
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5922
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5923
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5924
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5926
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5927
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5928
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5929
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5930
(John Arbash Meinel)
5
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
13
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
14
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
16
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
17
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
21
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
22
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
23
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
32
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
34
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
37
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
39
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
41
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
42
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
46
* Status now accepted a -r argument to give status between chosen
47
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
49
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
50
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
51
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
52
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
55
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
56
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
60
* removed uuid() as it was unused.
62
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log for your
69
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
70
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
71
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
72
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
75
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
78
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
79
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
80
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
81
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
82
for the operating system is still tried.
84
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
85
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
86
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
91
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
96
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
98
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
101
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
107
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
109
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
116
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
117
help with intelligent shell completion.
119
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
124
* Much better merge support.
126
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
127
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
133
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
134
mention revisions that are not present.
136
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
138
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
140
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
141
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
146
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
148
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
149
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
155
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
156
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
165
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
166
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
168
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
170
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
171
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
173
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
176
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
178
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
181
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
182
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
184
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
185
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
186
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
191
* Faster working tree operations.
196
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
197
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
198
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
199
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
201
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
202
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
203
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
204
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
205
standard plugins directory.
207
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
208
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
209
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
210
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
212
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
213
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
215
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
218
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
219
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
220
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
222
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
223
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
225
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
226
line options must come before the command name because they
227
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
228
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
231
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
233
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
234
is available with ``--short``.
239
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
246
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
247
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
249
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
250
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
251
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
252
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
254
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
255
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
256
with the ``--forward`` option.
258
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
259
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
265
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
266
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
268
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
270
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
271
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
273
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
275
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
276
either read or write mode.
278
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
280
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
283
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
285
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
286
suggested by LarstiQ.
288
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
289
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
291
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
294
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
295
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
297
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
298
haven't changed since the previous time.
300
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
301
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
303
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
305
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
307
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
308
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
310
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
311
options through to an external GNU diff.
313
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
316
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
322
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
323
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
325
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
331
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
332
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
335
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
336
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
338
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
339
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
341
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
342
under a different version.
344
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
349
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
351
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
354
* Better help messages for many commands.
356
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
357
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
359
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
360
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
362
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
364
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
366
* New AtomicFile class.
368
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
373
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
374
2.4 is now only recommended.
381
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
382
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
384
* More default ignore patterns.
386
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
387
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
389
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
391
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
394
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
399
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
400
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
401
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
402
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
403
there are DNS problems.
405
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
410
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
412
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
414
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
415
trailing newlines properly.
420
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
423
* More tests in test.sh.
425
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
426
directory and delete it when done.
428
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
433
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
436
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
444
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
447
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
449
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
452
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
455
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
457
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
461
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
462
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
467
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
468
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
473
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
477
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
484
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
487
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
491
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
493
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
494
rather than replacing it.
496
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
500
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
503
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
504
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
506
* Performance improvements.
508
* New global --profile option.
5932
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5933
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5935
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5936
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5937
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5939
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5940
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5941
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5942
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5944
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5945
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5946
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5947
(John Arbash Meinel)
5949
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5950
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5951
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5952
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5953
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5954
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5955
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5957
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5958
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
5965
:Released: 2008-12-05
5967
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5968
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5969
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5970
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5973
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
5978
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5979
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5980
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5981
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5983
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5984
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5985
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5986
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5987
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
5993
:Released: 2008-11-28
5995
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5996
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5997
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5998
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5999
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
6004
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
6005
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6007
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
6013
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
6014
history just to set the last revision info.
6015
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6017
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
6018
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
6019
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
6020
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6022
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
6023
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
6024
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
6025
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
6026
(John Arbash Meinel)
6028
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
6029
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6031
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
6032
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
6033
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
6034
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
6035
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
6037
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
6038
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
6039
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
6040
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
6045
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
6046
(Martin Pool, #289148)
6048
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
6049
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
6051
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
6052
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
6053
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
6054
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
6056
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
6057
starting with a dotted revno.
6058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
6060
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
6061
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
6062
(Martin Pool, #288751)
6064
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
6065
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
6066
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6068
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
6069
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
6070
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
6072
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
6073
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
6074
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
6075
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
6077
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
6078
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
6079
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
6081
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
6082
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
6087
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
6088
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
6089
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
6090
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
6092
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
6093
have changed incompatibly.
6095
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
6096
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
6097
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
6098
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
6099
don't need to change.
6101
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
6102
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
6107
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
6108
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
6110
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
6116
:Released: 2008-11-07
6118
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
6119
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
6120
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
6121
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
6122
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
6123
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
6128
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
6129
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
6131
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
6133
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
6134
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
6135
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
6141
:Released: 2008-10-31
6146
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
6147
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
6149
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
6150
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
6151
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
6152
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
6157
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
6158
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
6159
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
6160
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
6161
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
6162
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
6164
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
6165
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6167
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
6168
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
6169
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
6171
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
6172
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
6173
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
6176
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
6177
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
6179
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
6180
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
6182
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
6183
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
6185
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
6186
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
6187
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
6188
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
6189
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
6190
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
6191
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
6192
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
6193
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
6194
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6199
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
6200
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
6202
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
6203
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
6205
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
6206
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
6207
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
6209
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
6210
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
6211
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
6213
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
6214
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
6215
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
6217
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
6218
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
6219
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
6220
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
6221
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
6222
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
6224
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
6225
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
6227
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
6228
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
6230
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
6231
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
6232
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
6233
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
6234
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6236
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6237
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6238
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
6239
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
6244
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
6249
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
6254
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
6255
configuration of authetication credentials.
6261
:Released: 2008-10-16
6263
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
6264
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
6265
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
6266
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
6267
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
6272
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
6273
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
6278
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
6279
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
6285
:Released: 2008-10-07
6290
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
6291
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
6292
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
6293
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
6294
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
6296
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
6297
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
6299
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
6300
server. (Marius Kruger)
6302
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
6303
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
6304
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
6305
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
6306
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
6307
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
6312
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
6313
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
6314
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
6316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
6321
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
6322
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
6323
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
6324
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
6326
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
6327
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
6330
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
6331
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
6334
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
6337
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
6339
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
6340
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
6342
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
6343
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
6345
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
6346
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
6347
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
6348
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
6349
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
6350
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
6351
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
6352
operations. (Robert Collins)
6354
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
6356
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
6357
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
6358
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
6363
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
6364
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
6365
(Martin Pool, #279381)
6367
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
6368
repository now preserves the repository format.
6369
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
6371
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
6372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
6374
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
6375
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
6377
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
6379
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
6381
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
6384
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
6385
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
6386
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
6388
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
6389
is in a different repository than the current one.
6390
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
6392
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
6393
(David Futcher, #242106)
6395
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
6396
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6398
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
6399
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
6400
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
6401
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
6403
* Trivial documentation fix.
6404
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
6406
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6407
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6408
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
6409
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
6414
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
6419
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
6420
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
6421
to use. (Robert Collins)
6423
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
6424
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
6425
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
6427
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
6428
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
6429
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
6430
they want. (Robert Collins)
6435
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
6436
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
6437
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
6439
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
6440
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
6443
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
6446
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
6447
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
6449
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
6455
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
6456
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
6458
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
6459
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
6460
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
6462
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
6463
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
6464
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
6466
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
6467
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6469
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
6470
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
6472
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
6473
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
6475
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
6476
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
6477
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
6478
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
6494
:Released: 2008-09-24
6496
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
6497
file paths when we encounter complex history.
6502
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
6503
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
6504
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
6505
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
6512
:Released: 2008-09-23
6514
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
6515
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
6516
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
6517
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
6518
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
6519
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
6524
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
6525
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
6526
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
6532
:Released: 2008-09-17
6534
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
6535
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
6536
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
6537
connect to the stacked-on location.
6542
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
6543
repository now preserves the repository format.
6544
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
6546
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
6547
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
6549
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
6552
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
6559
:Released: 2008-09-09
6561
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
6562
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
6563
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
6564
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
6565
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
6566
it in a future repository format.
6572
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
6575
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
6576
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
6577
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
6579
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
6580
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
6581
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
6586
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
6587
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
6589
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
6594
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6595
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6598
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6599
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6601
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6602
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6605
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6606
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6607
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6608
(John Arbash Meinel)
6610
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6611
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6613
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6614
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6615
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6616
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6617
(John Arbash Meinel)
6619
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6620
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6621
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6622
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6623
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6624
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6625
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6626
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6627
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6628
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6633
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6634
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6636
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6637
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6638
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6640
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6641
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6642
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6644
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6645
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6646
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6647
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6648
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6649
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6651
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6652
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6654
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6655
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6657
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6658
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6659
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6660
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6661
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6662
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #255204)
6664
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6665
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6667
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6668
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6670
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6671
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6672
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6673
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6675
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6676
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6678
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6679
assuming the host name is ascii.
6680
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
6682
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
6683
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
6688
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
6693
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
6695
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
6696
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
6697
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
6700
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
6701
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6703
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
6704
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
6706
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
6707
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
6712
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
6713
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
6714
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
6715
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
6717
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
6721
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
6722
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
6723
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6725
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
6731
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
6732
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
6735
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6736
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6737
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6738
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6739
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6741
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
6742
is unknown in both source and target.
6743
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6745
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6746
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6747
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6748
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6750
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6751
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6752
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6753
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

6761
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
6762
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
6763
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
6769
:Released: 2008-09-03
6774
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
6775
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
6776
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
6777
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
6783
:Released: 2008-08-29
6785
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6786
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6787
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6788
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6789
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6790
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6791
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6792
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6793
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6794
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6795
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6796
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6801
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6802
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6803
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6804
start of the string (causing more copies).
6805
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6806
especially for projects with large files.
6807
(John Arbash Meinel)
6809
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6810
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6811
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6812
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6813
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6815
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6816
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6817
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6818
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6819
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

6828
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
6829
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6830
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6831
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6832
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6833
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6834
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6835
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6836
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
6842
:Released: 2008-08-19
6847
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
6848
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
6849
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
6850
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
6851
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
6857
:Released: 2008-08-18
6862
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
6863
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
6864
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
6870
:Released: 2008-08-14
6875
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
6876
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
6882
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
6883
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
6884
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
6890
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
6891
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
6892
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
6894
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
6895
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
6896
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
6897
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
6898
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
6899
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
6900
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
6906
:Released: 2008-08-13
6908
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
6914
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
6915
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
6917
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
6918
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
6921
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
6922
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
6923
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
6924
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
6925
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
6927
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
6928
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6930
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6931
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6933
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6934
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6936
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6937
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6938
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6939
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6940
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6941
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
6947
:Released: 2008-08-06
6949
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6950
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6951
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6952
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6953
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6958
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6959
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6960
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6965
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6966
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6968
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6969
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6971
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6972
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6973
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6975
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6978
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6979
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6980
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6981
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6982
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6983
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6984
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6986
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6987
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6988
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6993
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6994
physical repository boundaries.
6995
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6997
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6998
(Martin Pool, #206258)
7000
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
7001
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
7004
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
7007
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
7008
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
7009
that Python is running from.
7010
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
7012
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
7013
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
7014
(Robert Collins, #150438)
7016
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
7017
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
7019
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
7020
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
7021
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
7023
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
7024
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
7026
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
7027
(James Westby, #248448)
7032
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
7033
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
7034
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
7037
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
7038
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
7041
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
7042
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
7043
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
7044
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
7045
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
7046
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
7049
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
7050
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7052
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
7053
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
7054
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
7055
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
7056
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
7057
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
7062
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
7063
putting together a real history without having to create a full
7064
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
7065
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
7066
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
7067
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7069
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
7070
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
7071
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
7073
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
7076
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
7077
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
7079
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
7086
:Released: 2008-07-17
7088
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
7089
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
7090
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
7091
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
7097
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
7098
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
7099
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
7101
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
7102
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
7103
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
7104
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
7105
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
7108
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
7110
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
7111
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
7112
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
7118
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
7119
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
7122
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
7123
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
7124
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
7125
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
7127
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
7128
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
7129
(Christophe Troestler)
7131
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
7132
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
7134
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
7135
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
7136
faster. The new request method name is
7137
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7142
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
7143
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
7144
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
7145
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
7146
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
7148
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
7149
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
7151
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
7152
requires a branch to be present.
7153
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
7155
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
7157
(Martin Pool, #205230)
7159
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
7160
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
7161
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
7162
(Martin Pool, #240161)
7164
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
7165
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
7167
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
7169
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
7171
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
7172
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
7173
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
7174
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
7175
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
7177
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
7178
(Martin Pool, #172870)
7180
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
7181
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
7183
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
7185
(Matt McClure, #209281)
7187
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
7188
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
7190
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
7191
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
7196
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
7199
* Updated developer documentation.
7205
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
7206
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
7208
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
7209
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
7210
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
7211
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
7216
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
7217
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
7218
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
7219
Repository docstring for more details.
7222
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
7223
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
7224
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
7226
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
7227
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
7230
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
7231
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
7232
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
7233
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
7238
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
7239
(Alexander Belchenko)
7241
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
7242
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
7243
containing a given location.
7246
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
7247
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
7248
storage. (Robert Collins)
7250
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
7253
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
7254
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
7261
:Released: 2008-06-10
7263
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
7264
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
7265
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
7271
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
7272
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
7273
reading from the repository.)
7274
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
7276
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7277
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7279
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
7280
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
7283
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
7284
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
7285
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
7287
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
7288
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
7289
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
7291
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
7292
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
7294
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
7295
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
7296
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
7297
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
7302
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
7304
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
7305
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
7306
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
7309
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
7310
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
7315
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7320
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
7321
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
7326
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7327
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7328
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7329
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7330
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7332
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
7333
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
7338
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
7339
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
7341
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
7342
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
7347
:Released: 2008-06-02
7349
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
7350
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
7351
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
7352
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
7353
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
7354
and future extensions.
7357
Notes When Upgrading
7358
********************
7360
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
7361
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
7362
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
7363
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
7364
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
7365
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
7366
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
7367
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
7372
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
7373
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
7374
(John Arbash Meinel)
7379
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
7380
load. (James Westby)
7385
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
7386
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
7387
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
7388
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7390
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
7391
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
7392
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7394
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7395
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7397
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7398
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7399
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7401
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7402
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7403
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7404
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7405
step closer to not using full revision history.
7406
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
7411
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
7412
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
7414
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7415
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7417
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
7418
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
7420
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
7421
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
7422
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
7423
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
7425
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
7426
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
7427
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
7428
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
7430
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
7431
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
7432
in use by another process.
7435
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
7436
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
7437
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
7438
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
7440
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
7441
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
7443
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
7444
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
7445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
7447
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
7448
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
7449
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
7451
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
7453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
7455
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
7456
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
7458
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
7459
under vim on Mac OS X.
7460
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7462
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
7463
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
7468
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
7469
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
7471
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
7472
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
7475
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
7476
and about use of Python reprs.
7477
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
7479
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
7484
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
7487
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
7488
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
7490
* New helper function for splitting test suites
7491
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
7496
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
7497
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
7498
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
7499
(John Arbash Meinel)
7504
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7505
instead. (Martin Pool)
7507
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7508
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7509
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7510
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7512
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7513
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7514
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7515
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7516
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7518
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7519
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7520
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7521
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7522
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7523
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7525
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7526
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7529
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7530
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7533
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7534
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7535
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7536
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7538
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7539
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7540
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7542
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7543
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7544
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7545
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7546
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7549
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7550
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7551
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7552
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7555
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7556
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7557
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7558
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7559
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7561
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
7568
:Released: 2008-05-16
7570
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
7571
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
7572
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
7577
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
7578
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
7579
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7584
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
7585
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
7592
:Released: 2008-05-09
7597
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
7598
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
7599
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
7600
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
7605
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
7606
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
7608
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
7609
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
7611
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
7617
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
7618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
7620
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
7621
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
7623
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
7624
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
7625
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
7627
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
7628
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
7629
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
7631
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
7634
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
7635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
7637
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
7638
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
7640
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
7641
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
7643
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
7644
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
7646
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
7647
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
7648
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
7650
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
7651
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
7653
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
7654
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
7656
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7657
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
7658
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
7659
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
7661
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
7662
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
7665
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
7666
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
7667
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
7669
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
7670
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
7671
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
7672
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
7673
every revision each side had in common.
7674
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7676
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
7677
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
7679
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
7680
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
7681
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
7682
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
7687
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
7688
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
7689
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
7690
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
7692
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
7694
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
7696
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
7697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
7702
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
7703
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
7704
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
7706
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
7707
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
7708
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
7709
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7711
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
7712
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7714
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
7715
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
7716
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
7717
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7719
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
7720
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
7721
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
7722
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7727
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
7728
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
7729
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
7731
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
7733
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
7734
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
7736
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7737
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7739
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
7740
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
7745
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
7746
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
7747
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
7749
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
7750
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
7751
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
7754
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
7755
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
7758
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
7765
:Released: 2008-04-28
7767
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
7768
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
7769
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
7770
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
7771
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
7772
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
7773
and faster performance.
7778
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7779
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
7780
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
7781
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
7787
:Released: 2008-04-21
7792
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
7793
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
7794
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
7796
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
7797
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
7799
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
7800
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
7802
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
7803
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
7804
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
7805
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
7806
every revision each side had in common.
7807
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7813
:Released: 2008-04-11
7818
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
7820
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
7821
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
7823
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
7824
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
7825
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
7827
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
7828
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
7829
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
7830
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
7831
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7832
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
7835
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
7836
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
7837
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
7838
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
7843
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
7845
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
7846
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7847
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
7849
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
7850
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
7851
See the User Reference for signature details.
7852
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
7854
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
7855
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
7860
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7861
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7862
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7863
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7865
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7866
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7868
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7869
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7870
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7873
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7876
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7877
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7878
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7880
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7883
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7884
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7886
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7887
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7889
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7890
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7891
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7893
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7894
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7895
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7896
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7897
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7899
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7900
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7902
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7903
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7908
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7909
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7910
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7911
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7912
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7913
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7915
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7916
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7918
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7919
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7920
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7922
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7923
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7925
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7926
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7927
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7928
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7930
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7931
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7932
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7933
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7934
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7936
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7938
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7939
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7941
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7943
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7944
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7946
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
7947
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
7952
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
7954
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
7956
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7958
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
7963
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7964
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7965
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7967
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7968
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7969
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7970
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7972
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7973
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7974
release. (James Westby)
7976
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7979
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7981
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7982
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7984
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7985
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7987
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7988
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7990
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7991
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7992
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7994
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7995
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7996
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7997
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7999
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
8000
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
8001
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
8002
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
8004
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
8005
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
8006
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
8007
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
8008
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
8009
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
8011
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
8012
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
8013
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
8015
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
8016
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8018
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
8019
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
8022
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
8023
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
8025
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
8026
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
8028
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
8029
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
8031
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
8032
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
8033
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
8035
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
8036
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
8037
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
8038
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
8039
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
8040
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
8045
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
8046
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
8047
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
8048
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
8050
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
8051
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
8052
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
8053
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
8057
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
8058
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
8061
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
8062
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
8064
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
8066
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
8067
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
8068
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
8073
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8075
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
8078
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
8079
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
8080
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
8081
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
8082
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
8083
(Martin Pool, #109520)
8085
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
8086
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
8088
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
8089
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
8090
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
8091
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
8093
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
8094
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
8096
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
8097
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8147
********************
8149
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
8150
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
8155
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
8156
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
8157
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
8158
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
8161
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
8162
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
8163
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
8164
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
8165
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
8166
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
8168
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
8169
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
8170
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
8171
(Alexander Belchenko)
8173
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8175
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
8176
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
8181
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
8182
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
8184
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
8185
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
8191
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
8193
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8195
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
8196
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
8197
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
8199
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
8200
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
8202
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
8203
to. (Daniel Watkins)
8205
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
8206
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
8207
(Alexander Belchenko)
8209
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
8210
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
8211
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
8212
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
8214
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
8217
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
8218
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
8219
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
8220
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
8221
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
8226
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
8227
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
8228
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
8229
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
8231
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
8232
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
8234
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.

* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)

* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
8252
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
8254
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
8255
symlinks (James Henstridge)
8257
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
8258
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
8260
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.

(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
8263
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
8264
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)

* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #

signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
8269
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
8270
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
8275
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
8276
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
8281
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
8282
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
8283
(Alexander Belchenko)
8288
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
8290
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
8291
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
8297
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
8298
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
8299
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
8301
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
8302
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
8303
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
8304
(Alexander Belchenko)
8306
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
8307
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
8308
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
8309
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
8311
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
8312
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
8313
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
8316
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
8317
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
8318
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
8320
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
8321
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
8322
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
8324
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
8325
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
8326
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
8327
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8347
********************
8349
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
8350
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
8351
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
8352
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
8353
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
8359
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
8360
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
8362
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
8363
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
8364
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
8366
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
8367
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
8368
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
8369
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
8370
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
8371
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
8377
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
8378
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8380
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
8381
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
8382
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
8385
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
8386
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
8387
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
8388
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
8389
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
8391
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
8392
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
8393
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8394
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8395
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8396
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8397
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8398
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
8403
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8404
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8406
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8407
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8409
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8410
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8412
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8413
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8414
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8416
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8417
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
8418
(John Arbash Meinel)
8423
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8424
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8426
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8427
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8429
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8430
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8432
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8433
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8434
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8436
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8437
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8438
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8440
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8441
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8443
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8444
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8445
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8446
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8447
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8449
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8451
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8452
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8455
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8456
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8458
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8459
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8461
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8464
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8465
more characters which should be considered valid.
8466
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8468
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8469
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8471
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8472
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
8477
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8478
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8480
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8481
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8487
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8488
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8494
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8495
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8496
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8498
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8499
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8500
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8502
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8503
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8504
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8505
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8507
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8509
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8510
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8511
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8512
server. (Robert Collins)
8514
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8515
operate. (Robert Collins)
8517
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8518
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8519
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8521
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8522
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8523
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8524
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8526
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8527
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8529
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8530
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8531
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8533
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8534
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8536
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8537
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8539
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8540
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8541
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8542
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

8555
:Released: 2008-01-05
8560
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8561
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8562
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8563
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8565
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8566
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
8567
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
8568
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
8573
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
8576
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
8579
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
8580
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
8585
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
8588
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8589
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
8590
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8592
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8594
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8595
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8596
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8597
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8598
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8600
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8601
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8602
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
8604
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
8605
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
8607
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
8610
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
8612
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
8614
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
8617
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
8618
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
8623
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
8624
(Martin Pool, #180208)
8626
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
8627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
8629
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
8632
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
8633
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
8635
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
8636
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
8638
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
8639
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8641
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
8642
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
8644
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
8645
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
8646
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
8648
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
8649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
8651
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
8652
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
8655
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
8657
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
8658
user:pass embedded in the urls.
8659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
8661
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
8662
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
8664
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
8667
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
8670
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
8671
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
8673
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
8676
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
8677
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
8680
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
8681
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
8682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
8687
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
8690
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
8691
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
8692
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
8693
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
8694
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
8695
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
8697
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
8702
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
8705
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
8706
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
8708
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
8710
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
8711
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
8712
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
8715
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
8716
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8718
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
8727
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
8728
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
8729
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
8731
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
8732
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
8735
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
8736
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
8738
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
8739
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8741
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
8742
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8744
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
8745
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
8746
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8748
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
8749
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
8751
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
8752
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8754
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
8755
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
8758
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
8759
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
8761
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
8762
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
8775
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
8778
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
8780
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
8781
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
8794
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
8795
by mail to the mailing list.
8801
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
8803
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
8804
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
8805
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
8806
feedback but also incur more latency.
8807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
8809
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
8810
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
8815
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
8817
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
8823
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
8824
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
8825
wraps its output in a StringIO.
8832
:Released: 2007-12-07
8837
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
8839
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
8842
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
8845
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
8846
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
8847
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
8848
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8850
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
8853
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
8854
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
8856
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
8857
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
8858
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
8860
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
8861
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
8862
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
8863
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
8864
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
8865
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
8866
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
8867
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
8868
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
8873
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
8876
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.

* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
8889
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
8897
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

Notes When Upgrading
8912
********************
8914
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8915
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8916
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8917
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8919
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8920
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8922
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8923
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8925
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8926
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8927
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8928
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8929
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8930
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8931
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8932
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8933
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8934
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8935
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8936
from any tree without problems.
8937
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
8942
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
8943
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8944
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8946
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8947
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
8953
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
8954
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
8955
supported transports.
8958
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
8959
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
8960
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
8962
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
8963
(Robert Collins, #154173)
8965
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
8966
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
8967
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
8968
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
8970
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
8971
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
8976
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8977
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8978
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8979
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8981
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8982
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8983
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8984
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
8986
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8987
(Robert Collins, #88319)
8989
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
8990
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
8992
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
8993
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
8995
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
8996
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
9002
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
9005
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
9006
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
9009
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
9010
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
9011
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
9012
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
9014
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
9015
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
9016
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
9017
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
9025
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
9026
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
9028
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
9029
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
9031
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
9032
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
9034
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
9035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
9037
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
9038
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
9040
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
9041
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
9043
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
9044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
9046
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
9049
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
9050
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
9052
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
9053
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
9054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
9056
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
9057
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
9059
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
9060
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
9062
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
9063
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
9065
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
9066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
9068
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
9069
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
9070
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
9071
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
9073
(Martin Pool, #164637)
9075
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
9076
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
9077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
9079
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
9080
(Robert Collins, #161240)
9082
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
9084
(Martin Pool, #164443)
9086
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
9087
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
9089
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
9090
specify a port in urls.
9091
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
9093
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
9094
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
9096
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
9097
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
9099
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
9100
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
9102
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
9103
(Robert Collins, #153789)
9105
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
9106
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
9107
(Robert Collins, #165304).
9109
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
9111
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
9112
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
9114
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
9117
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
9118
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
9120
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
9121
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
9123
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
9124
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
9125
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
9127
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
9128
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
9130
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
9131
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
9132
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
9133
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
9135
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
9136
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
9138
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
9139
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
9140
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
9142
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
9143
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
9145
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
9146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
9148
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
9149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
9154
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
9155
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
9157
* The return value of
9158
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
9159
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
9160
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
9161
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
9163
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
9166
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
9167
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
9174
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
9175
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
9176
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
9179
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
9180
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
9182
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
9188
:Released: 2007-11-05
9193
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
9199
:Released: 2007-10-29
9204
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
9205
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
9207
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
9208
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
9209
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
9210
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
9211
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
9212
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
9213
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
9214
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
9215
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
9216
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
9217
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
9218
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
9224
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
9225
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
9226
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
9227
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
9228
commands. (Robert Collins)
9230
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
9231
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
9232
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
9235
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
9237
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
9238
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
9240
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
9241
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
9244
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
9245
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
9246
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
9251
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
9252
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
9254
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
9255
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
9257
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
9258
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
9259
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
9260
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
9262
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
9265
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
9266
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
9267
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
9268
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
9270
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
9271
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
9273
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
9274
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
9276
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
9277
the contents. (Robert Collins)
9279
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
9280
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
9285
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
9286
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
9288
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
9289
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
9291
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
9292
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
9294
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
9295
(Martin Pool, #63894)
9297
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
9298
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
9303
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
9305
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
9311
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
9312
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
9313
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
9315
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
9316
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
9318
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
9319
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
9321
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
9322
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
9323
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
9324
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
9326
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
9327
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
9328
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
9329
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
9330
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
9332
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
9333
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
9335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
9337
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9339
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
9340
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
9342
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
9343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
9345
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
9346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
9348
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
9349
contains a symbolic link.
9350
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
9352
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
9353
(James Westby, #140615)
9355
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
9356
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
9357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
9359
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
9360
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
9361
(Martin Pool, #144633)
9363
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
9365
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
9366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
9368
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
9370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
9372
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
9373
directory to detect leaking tests.
9374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
9376
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
9377
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
9378
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
9380
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
9383
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
9384
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
9386
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
9392
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
9393
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
9395
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9396
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
9397
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9399
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9400
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9401
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
9403
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
9404
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
9406
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
9407
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
9409
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
9410
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
9413
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
9414
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
9416
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
9417
class that needs it.
9420
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9421
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9423
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9424
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9425
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9427
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
9428
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
9429
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9432
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9433
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9434
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9435
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9441
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9442
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9443
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9445
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9446
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9447
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9448
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9450
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9451
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9454
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9455
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9456
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9458
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9459
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9460
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9462
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9463
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9465
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9466
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9467
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9469
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9470
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9472
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9473
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9474
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9476
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9477
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9478
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9480
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9481
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9482
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9483
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9485
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9486
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9487
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9488
returned. (Robert Collins)
9490
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9491
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9493
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9494
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9495
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9496
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9499
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.

* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9506
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9508
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9509
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9510
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9511
makes this behavior available to other users.
9514
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9515
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
9521
:Released: 2007-09-26
9526
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9527
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9528
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9530
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9532
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
9533
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
9534
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
9535
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
9537
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
9538
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
9545
:Released: 2007-09-11
9547
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
9548
in bzrlib/remote.py.
9554
:Released: 2007-09-11
9559
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9560
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9561
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9562
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9565
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9566
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9567
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9573
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9574
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9575
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9578
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9579
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9580
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9582
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9583
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9584
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9586
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9587
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9589
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9590
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9591
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9592
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9593
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9594
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9595
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9596
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9597
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9598
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9600
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9601
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9603
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9604
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9605
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9610
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9611
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9613
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9614
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9615
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9617
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9618
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9620
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9621
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9623
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9626
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9627
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9629
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9630
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9632
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9633
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9635
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9636
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9638
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9640
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9643
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9644
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9645
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9646
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9648
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9650
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9651
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9654
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9655
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9657
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9658
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9661
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9662
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9664
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9665
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9667
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9668
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9669
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9670
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9671
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9672
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9673
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9675
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9676
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9678
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9679
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9681
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9682
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9684
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9687
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9691
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9692
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9694
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9695
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9696
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9698
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9699
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9700
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9705
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9706
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9708
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9711
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9714
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9715
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9717
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9719
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9720
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9722
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9723
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9725
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9726
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9727
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9728
space). (Robert Collins)
9730
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9731
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9734
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9735
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9737
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9738
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9740
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9741
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9742
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9743
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9745
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9746
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9747
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9750
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9753
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9754
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9755
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9757
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9758
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9759
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9760
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9761
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
9766
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9767
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9769
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9770
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9771
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9772
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9773
affected. (Robert Collins)
9775
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9776
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9777
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9780
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9781
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9786
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
9787
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
9789
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9790
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9792
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9793
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9795
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9798
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9799
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9804
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9805
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9806
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9807
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9809
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9810
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9812
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9813
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9814
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9815
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9817
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9818
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9819
present. (Robert Collins)
9821
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9822
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9823
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9824
API. (Robert Collins)
9826
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9827
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9830
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9831
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9833
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9834
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9835
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9836
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9837
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9838
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9840
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9841
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9842
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9844
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9845
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9846
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9847
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9850
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9853
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9854
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9855
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9856
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9857
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9858
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9859
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9861
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9862
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9863
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9864
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9866
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9867
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9868
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9869
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9870
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9871
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9873
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9874
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9875
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9877
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9878
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9884
:Released: 2007-08-28
9889
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
9890
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
9891
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
9892
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
9893
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
9894
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
9895
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
9896
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
9902
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
9903
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
9904
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
9910
:Released: 2007-08-14
9915
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9916
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9917
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9918
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9919
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9921
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9924
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9928
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9929
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9932
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9933
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9936
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9939
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9940
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9942
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9943
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9945
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9946
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9948
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9949
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9951
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9952
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
9954
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
9960
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9961
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9963
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9964
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9966
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9967
the repository (Robert Collins)
9969
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9970
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9971
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9972
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9973
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9975
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9976
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9978
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9979
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9980
(John Arbash Meinel)
9982
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9983
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9984
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9986
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9987
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9988
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9989
(John Arbash Meinel)
9991
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9992
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9995
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9996
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9998
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
10001
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
10003
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
10005
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
10006
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
10008
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
10009
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
10012
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
10013
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
10014
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
10015
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10017
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
10018
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
10019
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
10021
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
10022
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
10023
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
10025
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
10026
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
10028
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
10029
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
10030
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
10031
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
10032
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
10033
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
10036
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
10037
(Alexander Belchenko)
10039
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
10040
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
10042
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
10043
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
10045
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
10047
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
10048
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
10053
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
10054
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
10055
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
10056
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
10058
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
10060
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
10063
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
10064
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
10065
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
10066
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
10067
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
10068
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
10073
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
10074
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
10075
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
10076
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
10078
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
10079
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
10080
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
10081
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
10082
tests have been refactored too.
10085
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
10086
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
10087
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
10091
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
10092
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
10093
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
10095
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
10096
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
10097
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
10098
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
10099
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
10100
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
10101
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
10103
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
10104
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
10105
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
10106
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
10107
(John Arbash Meinel)
10109
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
10110
functionality for testing.
10112
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
10114
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
10115
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10117
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
10119
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
10122
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
10123
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
10125
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
10126
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
10127
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
10129
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
10132
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
10133
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
10135
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
10136
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
10137
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
10138
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
10140
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
10141
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
10143
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
10144
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
10145
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
10147
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
10150
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
10151
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
10152
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
10153
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
10154
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
10155
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
10157
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
10158
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
10159
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
10160
many files. (Robert Collins)
10162
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
10163
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
10164
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
10165
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
10170
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
10171
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
10172
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
10174
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
10175
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
10177
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
10178
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
10179
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
10205
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
10206
(James Westby, #122656)
10208
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
10209
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
10211
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
10212
authentication header.

* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
10217
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
10218
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
10226
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.

* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
10230
individually and as part of revision ranges.
10231
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
10233
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
10234
(Martin Pool, #109169)
10236
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
10237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).

* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
10240
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
10242
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
10244
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
10249
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
10250
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
10251
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
10252
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
10253
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
10254
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
10256
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
10257
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
10258
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
10260
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
10263
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
10264
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
10266
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
10267
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
10269
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
10270
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
10272
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
10273
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
10274
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
10275
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
10276
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
10278
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
10279
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
10281
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
10282
can be slow it is useful feedback).
10283
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
10285
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
10286
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
10288
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
10290
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
10291
output. (Aaron Bentley)
10293
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
10294
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
10297
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
10300
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
10301
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
10303
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
10304
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
10306
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
10307
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
10309
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
10311
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
10312
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
10314
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
10320
* Testing cleanups -
10321
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
10322
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
10323
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
10324
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
10325
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10326
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
10327
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10328
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
10329
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10330
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
10331
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
10332
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
10333
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10334
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
10335
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10336
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
10337
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
10340
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
10342
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
10343
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
10344
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
10346
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
10347
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
10349
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
10350
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10352
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
10354
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
10355
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
10356
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
10357
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
10358
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
10359
same location. (Robert Collins)
10364
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
10366
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
10368
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
10370
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
10373
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
10376
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
10377
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
10378
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
10380
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
10382
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
10383
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
10384
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
10386
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
10387
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
10389
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
10390
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
10391
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
10393
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10394
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10395
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10397
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
10398
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
10399
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
10401
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
10402
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
10405
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
10406
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
10408
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
10409
(Alexander Belchenko)
10414
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10415
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10416
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10417
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10419
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10420
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10421
testing. (Robert Collins)
10423
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10424
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10426
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10427
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10428
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10429
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10430
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10431
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10432
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10434
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10435
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10436
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10437
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10439
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10440
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10442
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10443
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
10468
********************
10470
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10471
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10472
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10473
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10474
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10475
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10476
and unlock() like so::
10478
work_tree.lock_read()
10480
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
10486
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10487
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10489
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10490
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10491
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10493
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
10494
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
10495
too. (Robert Collins)
10500
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
10501
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10504
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10505
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10507
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10508
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10510
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10511
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10512
understanding what changes have occurred
10513
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10515
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10516
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10517
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10519
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10520
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10521
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10522
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
10524
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
10530
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
10531
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
10532
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
10533
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
10534
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
10536
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
10537
based on split paths, not just string paths.
10538
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
10540
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
10541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
10543
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
10545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
10547
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
10548
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
10550
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
10551
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
10553
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
10554
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
10556
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
10557
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
10559
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
10560
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
10562
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
10563
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
10564
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
10569
:Released: 2007-05-07
10574
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
10575
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
10576
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
10577
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
10578
(John Arbash Meinel, #111127)
10580
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
10581
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
10582
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
10584
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
10585
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
10590
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
10591
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
10592
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
10594
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
10595
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
10596
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
10597
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
10602
:Released: 2007-04-30
10607
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
10608
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
10609
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
10610
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
10612
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
10613
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
10614
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
10616
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
10617
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
10619
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
10620
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
10622
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
10623
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
10628
:Released: 2007-04-26

Notes When Upgrading
10631
********************
10633
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
10634
it could be recovered again.

This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10636
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
10637
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
10639
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
10641
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
10642
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
10647
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10648
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10650
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10651
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10652
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10653
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10655
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10656
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10658
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10659
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10660
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10662
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10663
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10664
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10666
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10667
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10668
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10670
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10671
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10674
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10677
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10678
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10679
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10680
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10682
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10685
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10686
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10687
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10690
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10691
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10693
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10694
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10696
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10697
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10698
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10699
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10702
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10703
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10705
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10706
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10708
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10709
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10710
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10712
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10713
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10714
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10716
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10717
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10718
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10720
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10721
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10722
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10723
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10725
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10726
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10727
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10728
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10730
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10731
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10732
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10733
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10734
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10735
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10736
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10737
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10744
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10745
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10747
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10748
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10749
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10750
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10751
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10753
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10754
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10756
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10757
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10759
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10760
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10762
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10763
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10765
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10766
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10767
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10770
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10771
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10772
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10773
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10774
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10777
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10778
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10779
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10781
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10782
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10785
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10786
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10787
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10790
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10791
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10792
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10793
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10794
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10796
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10797
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10798
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10799
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10801
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10802
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10804
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10805
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10806
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10807
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10808
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10809
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10811
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10812
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10814
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10815
help. (Robert Collins)
10817
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10818
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10820
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10821
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10822
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10823
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10824
(John Arbash Meinel)
10826
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10827
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10828
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10829
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10830
useful. (Robert Collins)
10832
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
10838
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
10839
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
10841
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
10842
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
10844
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
10845
properly and is no longer beneficial.
10846
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
10848
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
10851
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
10852
the file, and does it faster.
10853
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
10855
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
10856
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
10857
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
10859
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10860
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10861
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10862
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10864
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10865
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
10866
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
10867
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
10869
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
10870
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
10872
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
10873
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
10874
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
10875
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
10878
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
10880
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
10881
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
10883
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
10884
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
10886
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
10887
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
10888
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
10889
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
10893
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
10894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
10899
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10900
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10901
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10903
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10904
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10906
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10907
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10908
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10909
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10910
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10911
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10912
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10913
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10915
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10916
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10917
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10919
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10920
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10921
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10922
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10923
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10925
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10927
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
10928
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
10929
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
10931
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
10932
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
10938
:Released: 2007-04-01
10943
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
10946
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
10947
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
10953
:Released: 2007-03-26
10958
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
10959
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
10965
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10966
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10967
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10968
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10969
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10970
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10971
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10972
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
10978
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
10979
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
10980
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
10982
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
10983
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
10986
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
10987
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
10988
(John Arbash Meinel)
10990
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
10991
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
10992
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
10993
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
10994
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
10999
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
11002
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
11003
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
11005
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
11006
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
11008
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
11009
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
11010
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
11012
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
11013
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
11015
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
11016
last-changed-revision for directories. The
11017
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
11018
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
11019
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
11021
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
11022
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
11023
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
11025
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
11034
********************
11036
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
11037
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
11038
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
11043
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
11044
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
11046
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
11047
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
11049
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
11051
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
11052
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
11054
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
11055
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
11060
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
11066
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
11067
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
11068
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
11069
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
11071
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
11072
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
11074
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
11075
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
11077
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
11080
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
11081
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
11087
:Released: 2007-03-07
11092
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
11093
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
11094
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
11095
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
11096
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
11097
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
11099
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
11100
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
11101
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
11102
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
11103
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
11104
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
11106
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
11108
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
11109
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
11110
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
11111
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
11112
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
11113
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
11114
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
11115
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
11120
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
11121
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
11123
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
11124
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
11125
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
11126
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
11128
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
11129
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
11130
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
11131
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
11132
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
11134
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
11137
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
11140
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
11143
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
11144
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
11147
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
11150
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
11151
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
11153
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
11154
directory. (Martin Pool)
11156
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
11157
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
11158
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
11159
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
11161
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
11162
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
11163
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
11164
in docs/configuration.txt.
11166
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
11167
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
11170
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
11171
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
11172
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
11173
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
11174
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
11175
repositories. (Martin Pool)
11177
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
11178
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11180
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
11181
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
11183
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
11189
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
11190
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
11191
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
11192
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
11193
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
11194
(John Arbash Meinel)
11196
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
11197
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
11200
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
11201
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
11202
(John Arbash Meinel)
11204
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
11205
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
11206
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
11207
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
11208
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
11209
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
11211
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
11212
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
11213
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
11215
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
11216
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
11217
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
11218
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
11220
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11222
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
11223
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
11224
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
11225
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
11227
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
11228
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
11229
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
11230
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
11232
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
11233
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
11234
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
11236
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
11237
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
11238
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
11240
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
11241
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
11242
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
11243
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
11245
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
11246
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
11247
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
11249
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
11250
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
11251
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
11253
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
11254
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
11255
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
11256
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
11257
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
11258
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
11259
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
11260
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
11261
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
11262
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
11263
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
11268
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
11269
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
11270
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
11272
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
11275
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
11276
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
11277
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
11278
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
11280
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
11281
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
11284
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
11285
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
11287
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
11289
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
11290
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
11291
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
11293
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
11294
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
11296
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
11297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
11299
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
11300

11302
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
11303
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
11307
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
11308
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
11313
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
11314
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
11320
:Released: 2007-01-23
11325
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
11330
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
11331
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
11332
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
11334
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
11335
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
11336
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
11342
:Released: 2007-01-16
11347
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
11348
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
11349
server, then you can write over the http connection.
11350
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11352
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
11355
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
11356
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
11357
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
11359
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
11360
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
11362
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
11365
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
11366
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
11367
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
11368
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
11369
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
11370
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
11372
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
11373
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
11374
should enable you to do::
11376
[/home/user/project]
11377
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
11378
push_location:policy = appendpath
11380
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
11381
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
11384
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
11385
for each file. For example::
11387
$ bzr status --short
11393
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
11394
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
11396
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
11398
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
11399
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
11401
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
11406
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
11407
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
11408
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
11409
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
11411
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
11412
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
11413
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
11415
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
11417
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
11418
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
11419
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
11420
(Alexander Belchenko)
11422
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
11425
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
11426
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
11428
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
11433
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
11434
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
11436
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11437
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
11438
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
11439
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
11440
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
11442
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
11443
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
11445
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
11446
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
11448
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
11450
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
11452
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
11453
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
11454
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
11455
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
11456
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
11458
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
11459
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
11460
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
11461
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
11463
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
11464
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
11466
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
11467
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
11469
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
11470
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
11472
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

11492
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
11493
tree from a branch.
11494
(Daniel Silverstone)
11496
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
11497
operations are substantially faster.
11498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
11500
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
11501
tree from some other url. For example:
11502
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
11503
(Daniel Silverstone)
11505
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
11506
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
11507
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
11508
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
11510
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
11513
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
11514
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
11515
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
11516
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
11517
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
11518
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
11523
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
11524
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
11527
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
11528
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
11529
(John Arbash Meinel)
11531
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
11532
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
11533
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
11534
(John Arbash Meinel)
11536
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
11537
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
11539
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
11540
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
11542
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
11543
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
11549
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
11550
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11551
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11553
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11554
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11555
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11556
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
11558
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
11560
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11561
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11563
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11564
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11565
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
11568
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
11569
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
11570
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11572
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11573
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11574
them as full references rather than integers.
11575
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11577
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11578
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11580
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
11582
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
11583
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
11585
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
11586
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
11588
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11589
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
11590
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
11591
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11593
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11594
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
11595
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
11597
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11598
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11600
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11601
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11602
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11603
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11633
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11634
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11635
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11637
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
11638
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11640
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11642
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11643
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11644
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11645
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11647
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11648
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11649
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11650
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

API Incompatability
11654
*******************
11656
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
11657
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
11662
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
11663
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
11664
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11666
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11667
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
11668
(John Arbash Meinel)
11670
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
11671
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
11672
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
11674
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
11675
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
11678
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
11679
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
11680
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11682
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11683
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
11684
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11685
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
11686
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11687
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11689
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
11690
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
11691
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
11694
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
11695
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
11700
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
11701
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
11702
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
11705
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
11706
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
11708
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
11709
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
11710
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
11712
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
11713
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
11715
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11716
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11717
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
11718
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
11720
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
11721
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
11723
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
11724
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
11725
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
11727
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
11728
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
11730
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
11732
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
11733
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
11739
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
11740
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
11741
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
11742
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
11744
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
11745
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
11746
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11751
:Released: 2006-10-02
11753
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
11758
:Released: 2006-09-27
11763
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
11765
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
11771
:Released: 2006-09-25
11776
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11777
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11778
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11779
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11780
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11781
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
11782
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
11784
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
11785
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
11786
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
11788
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
11790
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
11791
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
11793
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11794
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11795
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11798
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
11799
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
11800
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
11801
(John Arbash Meinel)
11803
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
11804
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
11805
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
11806
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
11809
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
11810
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
11811
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
11812
(John Arbash Meinel)
11817
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
11818
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
11820
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
11822
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
11823
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
11824
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
11826
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
11827
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
11829
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
11830
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
11832
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
11833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
11835
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
11836
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
11838
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
11840
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
11841
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
11843
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
11844
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
11846
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
11847
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
11849
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
11850
(John Arbash Meinel)
11852
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
11853
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
11854
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
11856
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
11857
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11859
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
11860
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
11861
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
11862
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #43744)
11864
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
11865
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
11866
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56815)
11868
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
11869
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
11874
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
11879
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
11880
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
11881
(John Arbash Meinel)
11883
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
11884
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
11885
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
11886
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11888
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
11891
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
11892
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
11893
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11895
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
11896
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
11898
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11899
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11900
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11902
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11903
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11904
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11905
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11906
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11907
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11908
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11909
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11910
caller to repeat their request.
11911
(John Arbash Meinel)
11913
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11914
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11916
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11917
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11919
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11920
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11921
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11922
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11923
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11924
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11925
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11927
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11928
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11929
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11930
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11931
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11932
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11933
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11934
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11937
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11938
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
11939
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11941
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
11942
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11944
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11945
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11947
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
11948
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11953
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11954
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11956
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11957
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11958
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11960
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11961
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
11962
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11967
:Released: 2006-08-29
11971
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11972
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11974
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11975
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11976
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11977
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11978
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11980
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11981
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11982
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11984
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11985
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11987
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11988
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
11989
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11994
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11996
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11997
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11998
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
12000
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
12002
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
12004
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
12005
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
12006
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
12007
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
12009
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
12010
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
12011
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
12012
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
12013
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
12015
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
12016
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
12018
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
12019
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
12021
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
12022
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
12024
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
12025
in handling of revision properties.
12026
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
12028
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
12029
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
12034
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
12035
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
12036
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
12037
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
12038
(John Arbash Meinel)
12040
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
12041
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
12042
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
12047
:Released: 2006-08-11
12052
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
12053
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
12054
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
12055
specific one '.bzrignore'.
12056
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
12057
a more conservative list than the old default.
12058
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
12059
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
12060
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
12061
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
12063
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
12064
to more locations than just branch locations.
12070
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
12071
revno:N:branch. For example,
12072
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
12073
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
12075
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
12076
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
12077
the path of a file that has been versioned.
12078
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
12079
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
12080
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
12081
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
12082
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
12085
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
12086
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
12087
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
12090
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
12091
(Alexander Belchenko)
12093
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
12095
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
12098
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
12099
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
12100
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
12101
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
12102
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
12103
(John Arbash Meinel)
12105
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
12106
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
12107
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
12108
grained analysis of performance.
12109
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12111
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
12112
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
12114
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
12115
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
12116
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
12117
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
12118
file. (Robert Collins).
12120
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
12121
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
12122
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
12124
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
12125
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
12128
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
12129
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
12131
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
12132
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
12133
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
12134
the same way you would apply another branch.
12135
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
12137
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
12138
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
12140
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
12143
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
12146
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
12147
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
12148
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
12150
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
12151
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
12152
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
12154
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
12155
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
12157
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
12158
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
12159
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
12160
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
12161
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
12163
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
12164
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
12166
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
12167
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
12168
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
12169
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
12170
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
12171
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
12172
branch is as much as 4x faster.
12173
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
12175
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
12176
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
12177
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
12182
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
12184
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
12186
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
12187
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12189
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
12190
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
12192
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
12193
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
12195
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
12197
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
12198
(John Arbash Meinel)
12200
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
12201
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
12203
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
12204
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
12207
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
12208
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
12210
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
12211
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
12213
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
12214
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
12215
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
12216
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
12218
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
12219
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
12221
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
12223
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
12224

Notes When Upgrading
12386
********************
12388
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
12389
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
12390
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
12391
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
12392
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
12393
will keep the same format.
12395
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12396
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12397
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12398
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12399
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12401
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12402
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12403
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12404
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12405
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12406
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12407
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12409
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12410
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12411
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12412
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12413
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12415
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12416
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12417
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12424
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12425
convention. Paths now take the form::
12427
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12429
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12431
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12432
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12434
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12435
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12436
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12438
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12439
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12440
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12441
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12443
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12444
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12445
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12447
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12449
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12451
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12452
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12455
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12456
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12457
| xargs bzr re-sign
12459
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12461
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12462
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12463
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12466
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12468
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12470
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12473
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12474
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12476
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12477
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12478
Daniel Silverstone)
12480
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12481
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12484
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12486
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12488
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12489
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12491
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12492
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12493
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12494
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12495
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12496
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12498
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12500
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12501
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12504
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12505
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12507
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12508
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12510
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12512
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12513
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12514
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12515
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12516
specification by Martin Pool.
12517
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12519
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12522
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12523
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12525
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12526
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12527
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12529
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12531
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12532
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12538
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12539
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12541
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12543
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12545
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12548
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12549
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12550
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12551
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12556
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12557
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12558
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12559
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12561
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12562
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12563
tried. (Martin Pool)
12565
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12568
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12570
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12571
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12572
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12574
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12575
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12577
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12578
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12579
paths. (Robert Collins)
12581
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12582
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12583
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12585
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12586
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12587
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12589
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12590
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12591
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12593
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12596
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12599
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12601
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12603
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12604
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12605
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12608
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12609
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12611
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12612
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12613
check. (Robert Collins)
12615
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12616
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12621
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12622
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12624
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12625
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12626
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12627
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12629
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12630
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12631
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12632
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12633
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12635
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12636
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12637
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12639
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12641
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12642
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
12647
:Released: 2006-01-09
12652
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12653
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12655
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12656
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12657
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12660
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12661
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12663
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12664
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12665
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12666
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12667
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12669
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12670
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12671
used. (Robert Collins)
12673
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12674
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12677
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12678
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12679
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12681
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12684
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12685
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
12690
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12691
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12693
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12695
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12697
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12698
tree. (Robert Collins)
12700
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12701
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12702
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12705
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12708
* Tweaks to short log printing
12710
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12713
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12714
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12716
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12717
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12719
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12720
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12722
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12723
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12724
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12726
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12727
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12729
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12730
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12733
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12734
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12736
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12737
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12739
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12740
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12742
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12745
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12746
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12748
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12749
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12751
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12752
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
12753
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
12758
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
12760
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12762
* Error when run with -OO
12764
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
12767
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
12769
* Change status to 3 for all errors
12771
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
12772
ignored by diff and status
12774
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
12775
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
12777
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
12779
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
12781
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
12782
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
12784
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
12785
email address. (Marien Zwart)
12787
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12790
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
12791
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12793
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12795
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12796
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
12798
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
12801
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
12802
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
12804
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
12809
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12810
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12812
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12814
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12816
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12818
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12819
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12820
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12822
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12824
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12825
(John Arbash Meinel)
12827
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12829
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12830
If adding a new test script please add that to
12831
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12833
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12834
imported. (Martin Pool)
12836
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12837
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12838
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12839
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12840
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12843
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12844
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12845
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12847
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12848
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12849
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12851
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12852
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12853
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12854
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12855
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12858
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12859
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
12865
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12866
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12868
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12869
function. (Robert Collins)
12871
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12872
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12873
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12875
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12876
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12879
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12880
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12881
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12882
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12883
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12884
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12885
version. (Robert Collins)
12887
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12888
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12890
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12891
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12892
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12893
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12894
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12895
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12897
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12900
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
12910
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12912
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12914
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12917
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12918
query method. (Robert Collins)
12920
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12923
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12926
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12929
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12930
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12931
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12932
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12934
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12935
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12936
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12937
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12939
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12940
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
12945
:Released: 2005-10-28
12950
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12953
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12957
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12958
a separator, not ':'.
12961
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12962
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12963
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12965
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12966
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12969
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12970
has been added that suppresses all output.
12972
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12975
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12976
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12978
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12979
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12981
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12982
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12984
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12985
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12986
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12987
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12989
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12991
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12992
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12994
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12995
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12997
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12998
output directory, if one was supplied.
13000
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
13001
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
13002
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
13003
parameters. (Robert Collins)
13005
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
13007
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
13008
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
13010
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
13011
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
13012
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
13014
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
13015
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
13017
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
13020
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
13022
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
13027
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
13028
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
13029
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
13031
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
13032
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
13033
related questions. (Robert Collins)
13035
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
13036
is given. (Martin Pool)
13038
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
13039
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
13040
file. (Robert Collins)
13042
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
13048
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
13049
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
13050
representation. (Martin Pool).
13052
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
13053
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
13054
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
13056
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13059
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
13060
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
13063
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13064
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
13065
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
13066
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
13067
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
13069
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
13070
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
13071
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
13072
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
13073
python path. (Robert Collins)
13075
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
13076
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
13077
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
13078
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
13080
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
13081
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
13083
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
13084
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
13087
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
13088
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
13089
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
13091
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
13092
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
13093
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
13095
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13096
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13098
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
13099
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
13100
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
13103
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
13104
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
13105
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
13106
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
13109
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
13112
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
13113
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
13116
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
13117
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
13118
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
13120
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
13121
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
13122
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
13124
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
13125
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
13126
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
13128
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13129
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13131
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
13132
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
13133
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
13134
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
13135
caller. (Robert Collins)
13137
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
13138
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
13141
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
13142
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
13145
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
13147
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
13148
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
13153
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
13154
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
13156
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
13157
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
13163
:Released: 2005-10-12
13168
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
13169
allow directories to be listed.
13171
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
13172
upgrading branch format.
13177
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
13183
:Released: 2005-10-11
13188
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
13189
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
13190
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
13191
high-latency connections.
13196
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
13199
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
13200
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
13202
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
13203
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
13204
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
13205
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13207
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
13208
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
13210
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
13211
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
13213
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
13214
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
13215
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13217
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
13218
for files with only a change to their executable status.
13219
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
13222
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
13223
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
13225
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
13226
different partial views of history.
13228
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
13229
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
13234
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
13235
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
13236
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13238
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
13239
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
13242
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
13243
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
13245
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
13248
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
13249
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
13251
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
13252
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
13253
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
13254
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13256
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
13258
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
13259
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
13262
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
13263
Contributed by Robert Collins.
13265
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
13266
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
13267
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
13273
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
13274
for your viewing pleasure.
13276
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
13277
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
13279
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
13280
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
13281
handling of such circumstances.
13283
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
13284
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
13285
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
13287
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
13289
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
13290
we call them revisions not patches.
13292
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
13293
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
13295
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
13296
giving the revision *of that file*.
13298
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
13299
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
13300
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
13305
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
13306
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
13308
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
13309
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
13315
:Released: 2005-09-23
13320
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
13322
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
13325
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
13327
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
13329
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
13330
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
13335
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
13336
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
13338
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
13339
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
13340
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
13341
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
13344
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
13345
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
13350
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
13352
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
13353
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
13359
:Released: 2005-09-20
13365
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
13366
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
13367
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
13368
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
13371
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
13374
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
13375
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
13376
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
13377
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
13378
for the operating system is still tried.
13380
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
13381
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
13382
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
13388
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
13393
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
13395
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
13398
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

13418
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
13419
help with intelligent shell completion.
13421
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
13427
* Much better merge support.
13429
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
13430
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
13437
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
13438
mention revisions that are not present.
13440
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
13442
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
13444
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
13445
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
13451
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
13453
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
13454
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle

* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
13462
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

13475
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
13476
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
13478
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
13480
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
13481
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
13483
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
13486
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
13488
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
13491
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
13492
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
13494
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
13495
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
13496
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
13502
* Faster working tree operations.
13508
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13509
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13510
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13511
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13513
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13514
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13515
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13516
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13517
standard plugins directory.
13519
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13520
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13521
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13522
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13524
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13525
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13527
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13530
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13531
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13532
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13534
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13535
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13537
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13538
line options must come before the command name because they
13539
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13540
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13543
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13545
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
13546
is available with ``--short``.
13552
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
13558
:Released: 2005-06-15
13563
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13564
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13566
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13567
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13568
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13569
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13571
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13572
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13573
with the ``--forward`` option.
13575
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
13576
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
13583
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
13584
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
13586
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
13588
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
13589
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
13591
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
13593
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
13594
either read or write mode.
13596
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
13598
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
13599
affected that file.
13601
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
13603
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
13604
suggested by LarstiQ.
13606
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
13607
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
13609
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
13612
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
13613
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
13615
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
13616
haven't changed since the previous time.
13618
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
13619
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
13621
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
13623
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
13625
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
13626
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
13628
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
13629
options through to an external GNU diff.
13631
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
13634
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
13641
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
13642
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
13644
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
13651
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
13652
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
13655
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13656
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13658
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13659
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
13661
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
13662
under a different version.
13664
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
13670
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
13672
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
13673
Scott James Remnant.
13675
* Better help messages for many commands.
13677
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
13678
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
13680
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
13681
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
13683
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
13685
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
13687
* New AtomicFile class.
13689
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
13695
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
13696
2.4 is now only recommended.

13707
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
13708
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
13710
* More default ignore patterns.
13712
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
13713
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
13715
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
13717
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
13720
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
13726
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
13727
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
13728
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
13729
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
13730
there are DNS problems.
13732
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
13738
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
13740
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
13742
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
13743
trailing newlines properly.
13749
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
13752
* More tests in test.sh.
13754
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
13755
directory and delete it when done.
13757
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
13763
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
13766
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

13786
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different

* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
13791
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
13796
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
13797
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
13803
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
13804
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
13810
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
13815
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

13839
rather than replacing it.
13841
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
13843
* More help topics.
13845
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the

13849
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
13851
* Performance improvements.
