12
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
13
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
14
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
19
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
20
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
21
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
26
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
27
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
29
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
30
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
32
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
33
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
35
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
38
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
39
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
41
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
42
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
44
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
45
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
47
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
48
(Blake Winton, #129299)
50
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
52
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
55
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
56
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
57
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
58
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
60
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
62
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
63
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
66
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
67
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
69
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
70
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
73
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
74
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
78
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
81
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
84
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
85
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
87
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
89
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
90
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
92
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
93
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
95
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
96
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
97
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
98
space). (Robert Collins)
102
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
103
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
105
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
106
previous release. (Martin Pool)
110
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
111
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
113
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
114
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
116
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
117
previous release. (Martin Pool)
119
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
124
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
125
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
126
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
127
its version information. (Robert Collins)
129
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
130
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
133
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
134
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
136
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
137
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
138
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
139
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
140
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
141
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
143
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
144
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
145
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
149
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
150
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
158
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
159
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
160
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
161
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
162
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
163
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
164
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
165
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
170
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
171
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
172
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
175
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
176
======================
180
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
181
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
182
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
183
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
184
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
186
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
187
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
189
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
193
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
194
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
197
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
198
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
201
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
204
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
205
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
207
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
208
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
210
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
211
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
213
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
214
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
216
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
217
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
219
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
224
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
225
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
227
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
228
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
230
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
231
the repository (Robert Collins)
233
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
234
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
235
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
236
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
237
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
239
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
240
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
242
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
243
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
246
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
247
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
248
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
250
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
251
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
252
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
255
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
256
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
259
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
260
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
262
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
265
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
267
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
269
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
270
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
272
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
273
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
276
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
277
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
278
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
279
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
281
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
282
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
283
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
285
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
286
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
287
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
289
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
290
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
292
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
293
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
294
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
295
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
296
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
297
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
300
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
301
(Alexander Belchenko)
303
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
304
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
306
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
307
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
309
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
311
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
312
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
316
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
317
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
318
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
319
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
321
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
323
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
326
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
327
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
328
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
329
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
330
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
331
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
335
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
336
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
337
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
338
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
340
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
341
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
342
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
343
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
344
tests have been refactored too.
347
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
348
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
349
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
353
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
354
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
355
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
357
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
358
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
359
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
360
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
361
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
362
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
363
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
365
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
366
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
367
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
368
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
371
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
372
functionality for testing.
374
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
376
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
377
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
379
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
381
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
384
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
385
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
387
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
388
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
389
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
391
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
394
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
395
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
397
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
398
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
399
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
400
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
402
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
403
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
405
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
406
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
407
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
409
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
412
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
413
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
414
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
415
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
416
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
417
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
419
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
420
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
421
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
422
many files. (Robert Collins)
424
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
425
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
426
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
427
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
431
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
432
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
433
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
435
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
436
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
438
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
439
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
440
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
448
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
451
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
452
=======================
456
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
457
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
459
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
460
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
461
(James Westby, #122656)
463
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
464
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
466
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
467
authentication header.
468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
470
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
472
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
473
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
475
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
477
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
480
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
481
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
484
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
485
individually and as part of revision ranges.
488
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
489
(Martin Pool, #109169)
491
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
492
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
494
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
495
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
497
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
499
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
503
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
504
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
505
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
506
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
507
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
508
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
510
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
511
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
512
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
514
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
517
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
518
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
520
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
521
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
523
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
524
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
526
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
527
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
528
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
529
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
530
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
532
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
533
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
535
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
536
can be slow it is useful feedback).
537
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
539
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
540
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
542
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
544
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
545
output. (Aaron Bentley)
547
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
548
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
551
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
554
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
555
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
557
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
558
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
560
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
561
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
563
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
565
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
566
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
568
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
574
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
575
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
576
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
577
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
578
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
579
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
580
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
581
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
582
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
583
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
584
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
585
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
586
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
587
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
588
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
589
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
590
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
593
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
595
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
596
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
597
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
599
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
600
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
602
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
603
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
605
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
607
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
608
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
609
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
610
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
611
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
612
same location. (Robert Collins)
616
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
618
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
620
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
622
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
625
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
628
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
629
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
630
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
632
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
634
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
635
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
636
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
638
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
639
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
641
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
642
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
643
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
645
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
646
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
647
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
649
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
650
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
651
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
653
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
654
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
657
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
658
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
660
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
661
(Alexander Belchenko)
665
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
666
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
667
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
668
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
670
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
671
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
672
testing. (Robert Collins)
674
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
675
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
677
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
678
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
679
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
680
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
681
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
682
attribute during the test parameterisation in
683
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
685
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
686
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
687
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
688
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
690
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
691
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
693
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
694
avoid useless cloning.
695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
703
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
704
(Colin Watson, #120647)
706
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
707
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
711
=======================
713
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
715
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
716
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
717
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
718
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
719
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
720
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
721
and unlock() like so::
723
work_tree.lock_read()
725
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
730
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
731
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
733
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
734
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
735
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
737
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
738
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
739
too. (Robert Collins)
743
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
744
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
747
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
750
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
751
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
753
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
754
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
755
understanding what changes have occurred
756
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
758
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
759
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
760
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
762
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
763
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
764
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
765
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
767
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
772
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
773
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
774
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
775
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
776
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
778
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
779
based on split paths, not just string paths.
780
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
782
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
785
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
789
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
790
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
792
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
793
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
795
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
796
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
798
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
799
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
801
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
802
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
804
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
805
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
806
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
813
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
814
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
815
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
816
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
817
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
819
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
820
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
821
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
823
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
824
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
828
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
829
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
830
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
832
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
833
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
834
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
835
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
837
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
838
=======================
842
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
843
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
844
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
845
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
847
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
848
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
849
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
851
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
852
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
854
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
855
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
857
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
858
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
860
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
861
=======================
863
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
865
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
866
it could be recovered again.
867
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
868
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
869
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
871
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
873
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
874
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
878
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
879
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
881
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
882
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
883
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
884
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
886
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
887
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
889
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
890
tests with names that match that regular expression.
891
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
893
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
894
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
895
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
897
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
898
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
899
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
901
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
902
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
905
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
908
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
909
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
910
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
911
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
913
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
916
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
917
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
918
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
921
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
922
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
924
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
925
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
927
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
928
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
929
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
930
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
933
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
934
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
936
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
937
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
939
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
940
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
941
(Robert Collins, #107125).
943
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
944
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
945
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
947
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
948
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
949
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
951
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
952
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
953
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
954
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
956
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
957
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
958
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
959
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
961
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
962
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
963
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
964
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
965
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
966
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
967
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
968
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
974
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
975
code paths. (Robert Collins)
977
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
978
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
979
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
980
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
981
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
983
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
984
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
986
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
987
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
989
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
990
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
992
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
993
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
995
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
996
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
997
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1000
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1001
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1002
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1003
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1004
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1007
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1008
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1009
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1011
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1012
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1015
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1016
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1017
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1020
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1021
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1022
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1023
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1024
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1026
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1027
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1028
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1029
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1031
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1032
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1034
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1035
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1036
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1037
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1038
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1039
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1041
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1042
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1044
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1045
help. (Robert Collins)
1047
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1048
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1050
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1051
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1052
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1053
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1054
(John Arbash Meinel)
1056
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1057
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1058
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1059
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1060
useful. (Robert Collins)
1062
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1067
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1068
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1070
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1071
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1073
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1074
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1075
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1077
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1080
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1081
the file, and does it faster.
1082
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1084
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1085
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1086
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1088
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1089
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1090
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1091
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1093
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1094
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1095
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1096
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1098
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1099
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1101
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1102
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1103
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1104
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1107
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1109
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1110
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1112
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1113
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1115
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1116
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1117
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1118
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1122
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1127
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1128
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1129
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1131
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1132
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1134
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1135
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1136
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1137
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1138
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1139
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1140
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1141
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1143
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1144
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1145
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1147
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1148
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1149
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1150
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1151
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1153
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1155
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1156
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1157
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1159
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1160
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1168
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1171
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1172
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1175
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1176
=======================
1180
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1181
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1186
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1187
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1188
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1189
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1190
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1191
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1192
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1193
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1198
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1199
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1200
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1202
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1203
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1206
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1207
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1208
(John Arbash Meinel)
1210
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1211
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1212
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1213
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1214
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1218
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1221
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1222
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1224
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1225
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1227
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1228
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1229
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1231
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1232
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1234
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1235
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1236
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1237
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1238
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1240
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1241
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1242
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1244
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1247
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1248
=======================
1250
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1252
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1253
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1254
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1258
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1259
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1261
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1262
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1264
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1266
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1267
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1269
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1270
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1274
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1279
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1280
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1281
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1282
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1284
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1285
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1287
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1288
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1290
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1293
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1294
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1297
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1298
=======================
1302
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1303
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1304
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1305
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1306
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1307
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1309
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1310
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1311
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1312
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1313
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1314
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1316
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1318
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1319
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1320
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1321
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1322
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1323
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1324
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1325
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1329
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1330
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1332
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1333
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1334
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1335
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1337
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1338
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1339
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1340
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1341
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1343
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1346
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1349
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1352
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1353
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1356
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1359
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1360
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1362
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1363
directory. (Martin Pool)
1365
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1366
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1367
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1368
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1370
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1371
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1372
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1373
in docs/configuration.txt.
1375
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1376
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1379
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1380
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1381
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1382
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1383
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1384
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1386
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1387
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1389
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1390
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1392
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1397
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1398
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1399
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1400
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1401
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1402
(John Arbash Meinel)
1404
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1405
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1408
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1409
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1410
(John Arbash Meinel)
1412
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1413
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1414
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1415
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1416
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1417
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1419
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1420
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1421
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1423
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1424
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1425
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1426
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1428
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1430
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1431
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1432
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1433
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1435
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1436
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1437
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1438
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1440
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1441
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1442
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1444
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1445
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1446
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1448
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1449
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1450
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1451
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1453
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1454
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1455
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1457
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1458
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1459
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1461
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1462
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1463
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1464
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1465
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1466
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1467
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1468
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1469
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1470
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1471
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1475
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1476
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1477
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1479
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1482
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1483
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1484
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1485
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1487
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1488
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1491
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1492
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1494
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1496
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1497
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1498
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1500
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1501
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1503
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1506
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1509
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1510
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1512
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1514
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1515
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1519
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1520
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1524
====================
1528
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1532
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1533
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1534
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1536
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1537
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1538
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1541
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1542
=======================
1546
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1547
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1548
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1549
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1551
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1554
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1555
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1556
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1558
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1559
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1561
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1564
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1565
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1566
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1567
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1568
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1569
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1571
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1572
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1573
should enable you to do::
1575
[/home/user/project]
1576
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1577
push_location:policy = appendpath
1579
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1580
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1583
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1584
for each file. For example::
1586
$ bzr status --short
1592
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1593
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1595
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1597
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1598
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1600
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1604
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1605
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1606
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1607
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1609
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1610
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1611
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1613
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1615
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1616
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1617
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1618
(Alexander Belchenko)
1620
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1623
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1624
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1626
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1630
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1631
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1633
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1634
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1635
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1636
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1637
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1639
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1640
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1642
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1643
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1645
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1647
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1649
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1650
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1651
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1652
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1653
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1655
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1656
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1657
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1658
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1660
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1661
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1663
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1664
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1666
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1667
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1669
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1670
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1674
====================
1676
No changes from 0.13rc1
1678
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1679
=======================
1683
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1685
(Daniel Silverstone)
1687
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1688
operations are substantially faster.
1689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1691
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1692
tree from some other url. For example:
1693
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1694
(Daniel Silverstone)
1696
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1697
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1698
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1699
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1701
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1704
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1705
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1706
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1707
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1708
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1709
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1713
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1714
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1717
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1718
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1719
(John Arbash Meinel)
1721
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1722
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1723
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1724
(John Arbash Meinel)
1726
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1727
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1729
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1730
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1732
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1733
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1738
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1739
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1740
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1742
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1743
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1744
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1745
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1747
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1749
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1750
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1752
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1753
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1754
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1755
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1757
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1758
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1759
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1761
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1762
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1763
them as full references rather than integers.
1764
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1766
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1767
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1769
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1771
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1772
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1774
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1775
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1777
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1778
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1779
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1780
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1782
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1783
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1784
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1786
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1787
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1789
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1790
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1791
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1792
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1793
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1797
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1798
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1801
====================
1805
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1806
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1807
(John Arbash Meinel)
1809
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1810
=======================
1814
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1815
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1816
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1817
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1819
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1820
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1822
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1824
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1825
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1826
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1827
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1829
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1830
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1831
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1832
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1833
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1835
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1837
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1838
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1842
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1843
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1844
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1846
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1847
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1848
(John Arbash Meinel)
1850
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1851
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1852
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1854
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1855
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1858
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1859
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1860
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1862
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1863
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1864
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1865
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1866
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1867
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1869
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1870
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1871
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1874
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1875
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1879
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1880
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1881
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1884
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1885
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1887
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1888
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1889
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1891
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1892
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1894
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1895
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1896
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1897
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1899
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1900
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1902
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1903
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1904
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1906
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1907
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1909
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1911
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1912
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1917
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1918
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1919
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1920
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1922
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1923
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1924
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1927
====================
1929
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1931
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1932
=======================
1936
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1938
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1941
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1942
=======================
1946
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1947
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1948
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1949
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1950
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1951
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1952
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1954
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1955
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1956
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1958
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1960
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1961
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1963
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1964
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1965
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1968
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1969
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1970
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1971
(John Arbash Meinel)
1973
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1974
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1975
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1976
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1979
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1980
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1981
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1982
(John Arbash Meinel)
1986
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1987
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1989
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1991
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1992
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1993
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1995
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1996
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1998
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1999
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2001
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2004
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2005
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2007
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2009
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2010
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2012
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2013
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2015
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2016
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2018
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2019
(John Arbash Meinel)
2021
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2022
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2023
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2025
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2026
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2028
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2029
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2030
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2031
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2033
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2034
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2035
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2037
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2038
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2042
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2046
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2047
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2048
(John Arbash Meinel)
2050
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2051
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2052
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2053
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2055
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2058
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2059
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2060
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2062
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2063
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2065
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2066
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2067
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2069
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2070
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2071
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2072
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2073
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2074
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2075
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2076
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2077
caller to repeat their request.
2078
(John Arbash Meinel)
2080
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2081
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2083
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2084
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2086
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2087
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2088
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2089
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2090
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2091
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2092
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2094
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2095
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2096
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2097
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2098
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2099
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2100
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2101
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2104
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2105
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2106
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2108
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2109
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2111
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2112
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2114
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2115
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2119
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2120
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2122
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2123
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2124
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2126
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2127
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2128
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2131
====================
2134
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2135
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2137
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2138
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2139
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2140
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2141
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2143
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2144
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2145
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2147
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2148
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2150
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2151
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2152
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2156
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2158
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2159
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2160
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2162
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2164
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2166
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2167
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2168
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2169
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2171
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2172
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2173
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2174
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2175
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2177
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2178
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2180
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2181
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2183
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2184
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2186
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2187
in handling of revision properties.
2188
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2190
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2191
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2195
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2196
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2197
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2198
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2199
(John Arbash Meinel)
2201
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2202
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2203
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2205
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2206
=====================
2210
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2211
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2212
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2213
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2214
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2215
a more conservative list than the old default.
2216
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2217
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2218
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2219
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2221
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2222
to more locations than just branch locations.
2227
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2228
revno:N:branch. For example,
2229
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2230
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2232
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2233
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2234
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2235
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2236
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2237
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2238
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2239
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2242
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2243
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2244
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2247
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2248
(Alexander Belchenko)
2250
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2252
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2255
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2256
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2257
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2258
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2259
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2260
(John Arbash Meinel)
2262
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2263
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2264
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2265
grained analysis of performance.
2266
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2268
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2269
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2271
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2272
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2273
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2274
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2275
file. (Robert Collins).
2277
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2278
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2279
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2281
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2282
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2285
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2286
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2288
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2289
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2290
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2291
the same way you would apply another branch.
2292
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2294
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2295
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2297
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2300
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2303
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2304
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2305
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2307
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2308
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2309
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2311
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2312
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2314
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2315
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2316
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2317
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2318
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2320
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2321
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2323
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2324
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2325
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2326
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2327
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2328
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2329
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2330
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2332
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2333
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2334
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2338
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2340
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2342
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2343
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2345
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2346
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2348
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2349
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2351
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2353
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2354
(John Arbash Meinel)
2356
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2357
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2359
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2360
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2363
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2364
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2366
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2367
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2369
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2370
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2371
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2372
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2374
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2375
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2377
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2379
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2380
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2382
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2384
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2386
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2387
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2389
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2390
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2392
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2393
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2394
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2396
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2397
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2398
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2400
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2401
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2403
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2404
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2406
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2407
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2409
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2410
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2412
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2413
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2415
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2416
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2417
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2419
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2421
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2422
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2426
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2427
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2428
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2430
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2431
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2433
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2434
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2435
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2437
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2438
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2440
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2441
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2444
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2445
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2446
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2448
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2449
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2450
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2452
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2453
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2454
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2456
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2457
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2458
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2460
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2461
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2462
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2464
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2465
instead. (Robert Collins)
2467
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2469
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2470
=====================
2474
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2476
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2477
=====================
2481
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2482
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2484
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2485
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2487
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2488
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2489
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2493
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2495
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2496
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2498
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2502
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2503
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2504
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2505
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2509
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2510
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2511
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2515
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2516
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2517
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2521
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2522
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2527
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2529
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2530
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2531
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2532
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2533
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2534
will keep the same format.
2536
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2537
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2538
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2539
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2540
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2542
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2543
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2544
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2545
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2546
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2547
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2548
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2550
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2551
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2552
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2553
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2554
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2556
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2557
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2558
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2564
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2565
convention. Paths now take the form::
2567
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2569
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2571
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2572
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2574
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2575
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2576
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2578
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2579
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2580
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2581
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2583
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2584
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2585
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2587
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2589
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2591
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2592
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2595
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2596
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2599
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2601
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2602
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2603
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2606
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2608
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2610
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2613
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2614
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2616
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2617
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2620
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2621
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2624
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2626
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2628
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2629
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2631
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2632
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2633
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2634
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2635
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2636
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2638
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2640
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2641
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2644
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2645
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2647
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2648
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2650
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2652
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2653
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2654
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2655
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2656
specification by Martin Pool.
2657
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2659
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2662
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2663
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2665
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2666
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2667
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2669
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2671
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2672
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2677
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2678
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2680
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2682
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2684
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2687
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2688
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2689
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2690
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2694
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2695
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2696
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2697
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2699
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2700
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2701
tried. (Martin Pool)
2703
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2706
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2708
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2709
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2710
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2712
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2713
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2715
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2716
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2717
paths. (Robert Collins)
2719
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2720
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2721
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2723
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2724
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2725
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2727
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2728
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2729
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2731
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2734
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2737
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2739
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2741
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2742
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2743
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2746
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2747
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2749
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2750
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2751
check. (Robert Collins)
2753
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2754
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2758
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2759
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2761
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2762
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2763
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2764
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2766
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2767
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2768
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2769
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2770
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2772
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2773
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2774
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2776
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2778
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2779
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2786
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2787
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2789
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2790
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2791
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2794
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2795
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2797
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2798
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2799
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2800
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2801
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2803
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2804
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2805
used. (Robert Collins)
2807
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2808
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2811
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2812
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2813
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2815
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2818
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2819
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2823
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2824
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2826
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2828
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2830
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2831
tree. (Robert Collins)
2833
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2834
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2835
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2838
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2841
* Tweaks to short log printing
2843
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2846
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2847
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2849
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2850
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2852
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2853
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2855
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2856
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2857
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2859
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2860
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2862
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2863
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2866
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2867
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2869
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2870
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2872
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2873
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2875
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2878
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2879
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2881
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2882
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2884
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2885
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2886
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2890
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2892
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2894
* Error when run with -OO
2896
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2899
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2901
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2903
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2904
ignored by diff and status
2906
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2907
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2909
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2911
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2913
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2914
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2916
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2917
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2919
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2922
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2923
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2925
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2927
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2928
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2930
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2933
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2934
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2936
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2940
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2941
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2943
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2945
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2947
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2949
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2950
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2951
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2953
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2955
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2956
(John Arbash Meinel)
2958
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2960
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2961
If adding a new test script please add that to
2962
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2964
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2965
imported. (Martin Pool)
2967
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2968
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2969
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2970
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2971
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2974
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2975
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2976
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2978
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2979
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2980
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2982
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2983
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2984
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2985
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2986
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2989
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2990
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2995
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2996
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2998
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2999
function. (Robert Collins)
3001
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3002
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3003
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3005
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3006
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3009
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3010
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3011
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3012
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3013
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3014
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3015
version. (Robert Collins)
3017
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3018
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3020
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3021
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3022
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3023
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3024
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3025
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3027
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3030
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3040
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3042
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3044
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3047
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3048
query method. (Robert Collins)
3050
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3053
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3056
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3059
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3060
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3061
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3062
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3064
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3065
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3066
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3067
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3069
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3070
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3077
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3080
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3084
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3085
a separator, not ':'.
3088
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3089
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3090
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3092
5
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3093
6
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
