IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
12
13
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
14
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
15
command may need to be adjusted.
16
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
17
18
NEW FEATURES:
19
20
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
21
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
22
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
23
24
IMPROVEMENTS:
25
26
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
27
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
28
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
29
30
BUG FIXES:
31
32
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
33
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
34
35
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
36
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
37
Vernooij, #315048)
38
39
DOCUMENTATION:
40
41
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
42
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
43
44
API CHANGES:
45
46
INTERNALS:
47
48
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
49
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
50
51
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
52
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
53
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)

56
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
57
--------------------------------
58
59
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
60
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
61
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
62
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
63
by showing the rate of network IO.
64
65
BUG FIXES:
66
67
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
68
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
69
70
DOCUMENTATION:
71
72
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
73
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
74
75
76
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
77
-----------------------------------
78
79
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
80
81
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
82
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
83
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
84
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
85
86
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
87
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
88
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
89
(Ian Clatworthy)
90
91
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
92
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
93
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
94
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
95
96
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
97
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
98
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
99
(Ian Clatworthy)
100
101
NEW FEATURES:
102
103
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
104
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
105
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
106
(Marius Kruger)
107
108
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
109
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
110
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
111
112
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
113
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
114
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
115
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
116
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
117
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
118
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
119
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
120
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
121
(Ian Clatworthy)
122
123
IMPROVEMENTS:
124
125
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
126
(Daniel Watkins)
127
128
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
129
(Marius Kruger)
130
131
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
132
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
133
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
134
135
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
136
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
137
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
138
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
139
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
140
141
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
142
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
143
144
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
145
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
146
level for better precision.
147
(Vincent Ladeuil)
148
149
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
150
rules. (Marius Kruger)
151
152
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
153
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
154
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
155
156
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
157
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
158
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
159
(Andrew Bennetts)
160
161
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
162
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
163
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
164
165
BUG FIXES:
166
167
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
168
anymore.
169
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
170
171
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
172
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
173
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
174
175
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
176
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
177
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
178
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
179
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
180
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
181
182
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
183
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
184
185
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
186
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
187
188
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
189
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
190
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
191
192
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
193
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
194
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
195
(Andrew Bennetts)
196
197
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
198
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
199
200
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
201
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
202
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
203
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
204
205
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
206
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
207
handled.
208
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
209
210
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
211
212
DOCUMENTATION:
213
214
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
215
216
API CHANGES:
217
218
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
219
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
220
(Martin Pool)
221
222
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
223
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
224
225
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
226
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
227
228
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
229
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
230
231
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
232
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
233
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
234
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
235
236
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
237
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
238
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
239
240
INTERNALS:
241
242
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
243
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
244
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
245
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
246
compile buffers, are such an example).
247
(Vincent Ladeuil)
248
249
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
250
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
251
(Ian Clatworthy)
252
253
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
254
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
255
efficient way of doing the mapping.
256
(Ian Clatworthy)
257
258
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
259
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
260
261
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
262
formatters to retrict the output.
263
(Vincent Ladeuil)

bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
267
------------------------------
268
269
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
270
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
271
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
272
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
273
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
274
275
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
276
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
277
advice.
278
279
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
280
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
281
282
BUG FIXES:
283
284
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
285
(Vincent Ladeuil)
286
287
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
288
(John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
293
---------------------------------
294
295
CHANGES:
296
297
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
298
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
299
300
NEW FEATURES:
301
302
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
303
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
304
305
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
306
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
307
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
308
implement other plugins.
309
(Vincent Ladeuil)
310
311
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
312
(Aaron Bentley)
313
314
IMPROVEMENTS:
315
316
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
317
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
318
319
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
320
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
321
322
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
323
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
324
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
325
processes which drag in shell extensions.
326
(Mark Hammond)
327
328
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
329
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
330
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
331
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
332
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
333
334
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
335
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
336
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
337
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
338
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
339
340
BUG FIXES:
341
342
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
343
control directory. (#139691)
344
345
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
346
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
347
348
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
349
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
350
351
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
352
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
353
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
354
355
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
356
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
357
358
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
359
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
360
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
361
362
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
363
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
364
365
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
366
(Jari Aalto)
367
368
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
369
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
370
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
371
372
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
373
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
374
375
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
376
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
377
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
378
379
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
380
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
381
in the appropriate sections.
382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
383
384
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
385
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
386
(John Arbash meinel)
387
388
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
390
391
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
393
394
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
395
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
396
397
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
398
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
399
work better with how it splits its requests.
400
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
401
402
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
403
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
404
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
405
406
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
407
(Aaron Bentley)
408
409
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
410
411
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
413
414
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
415
Duffy, #314251)

* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
420
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
421
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
422
(Ian Clatworthy)
423
424
API CHANGES:
425
426
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
427
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
428
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
429
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
430
431
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
432
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
433
434
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
435
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
436
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
437
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
438
439
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
440
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
441
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
442
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
443
444
TESTING:
445
446
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
447
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
448
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
449
450
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
451
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
452
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
453
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
454
455
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
456
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
457
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
458
(Ian Clatworthy)
459
460
INTERNALS:
461
462
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
463
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
464
(John Arbash Meinel)
465
466
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
467
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
468
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
469
(John Arbash Meinel)
470
471
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
472
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
473
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
474
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
475
476
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
477
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
478
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
479
480
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
481
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
482
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
483
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
484
485
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
486
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
487
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
488
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
489
(John Arbash Meinel)
490
491
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
492
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
493
494
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
495
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
496
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
497
498
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
499
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
500
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
501
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
502
503
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
504
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
505
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
506
(John Arbash Meinel)
507
508
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
509
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
510
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
511
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
512
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
513
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
514
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
515
516
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
517
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
518
519
520
521
bzr 1.10 2008-12-05
522
-------------------
523
524
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
525
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
526
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
527
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
528
implementation.
529
530
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
531
532
BUG FIXES:
533
534
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
535
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
536
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
537
(Martin Pool, #303856)
538
539
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
540
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
541
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
542
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
543
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
544
545
546
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
547
----------------------
548
549
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
550
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
551
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
552
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
553
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
554
555
NEW FEATURES:
556
557
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
558
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
559
560
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
561
(Aaron Bentley)
562
563
IMPROVEMENTS:
564
565
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
566
history just to set the last revision info.
567
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
568
569
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
570
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
571
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
572
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
573
574
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
575
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
576
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
577
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
578
(John Arbash Meinel)
579
580
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
581
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
582
583
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
584
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
585
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
586
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
587
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
588
589
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
590
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
591
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
592
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
593
594
BUG FIXES:
595
596
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
597
(Martin Pool, #289148)
598
599
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
600
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
601
602
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
603
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
604
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
605
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
606
607
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
608
starting with a dotted revno.
609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
610
611
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
612
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
613
(Martin Pool, #288751)
614
615
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
616
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
617
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
618
619
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
620
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
621
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
622
623
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
624
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
625
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
626
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
627
628
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
629
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
630
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
631
632
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
633
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
634
635
API CHANGES:
636
637
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
638
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
639
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
640
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
641
642
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
643
have changed incompatibly.
644
645
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
646
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
647
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
648
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
649
don't need to change.
650
651
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
652
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
653
654
TESTING:
655
656
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
657
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
658
659
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
660
661
662
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
663
------------------
664
665
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
666
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
667
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
668
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
669
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
670
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
671
672
BUG FIXES:
673
674
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
675
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
676
677
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
678
679
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
680
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
681
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
682
683
684
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
685
---------------------
686
687
NEW FEATURES:
688
689
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
690
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
691
692
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
693
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
694
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
695
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
696
697
IMPROVEMENTS:
698
699
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
700
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
701
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
702
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
703
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
704
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
705
706
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
707
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
708
709
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
710
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
711
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
712
713
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
714
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
715
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
716
(Andrew Bennetts)
717
718
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
719
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
720
721
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
722
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
723
724
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
725
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
726
727
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
728
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
729
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
730
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
731
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
732
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
733
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
734
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
735
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
736
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
737
738
BUG FIXES:
739
740
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
741
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
742
743
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
744
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
745
746
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
747
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
748
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
749
750
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
751
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
752
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
753
754
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
755
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
756
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
757
758
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
759
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
760
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
761
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
762
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
763
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
764
765
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
766
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
767
768
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
769
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
770
771
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
772
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
773
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
774
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
775
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
776
777
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
778
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
779
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
780
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
781
782
DOCUMENTATION:
783
784
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
785
786
API CHANGES:
787
788
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
789
790
INTERNALS:
791
792
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
793
configuration of authetication credentials.
794
795
796
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
797
------------------
798
799
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
800
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
801
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
802
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
803
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
804
805
BUG FIXES:
806
807
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
808
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
809
810
PORTABILITY:
811
812
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
813
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
814
815
816
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
817
---------------------
818
819
CHANGES:
820
821
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
822
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
823
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
824
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
825
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
826
827
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
828
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
829
830
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
831
server. (Marius Kruger)
832
833
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
834
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
835
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
836
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
837
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
838
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
839
840
FEATURES:
841
842
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
843
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
844
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
845
welcome.
846
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
847
848
IMPROVEMENTS:
849
850
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
851
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
852
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
853
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
854
855
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
856
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
857
(Daniel Watkins)
858
859
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
860
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
861
(Andrew Bennetts)
862
863
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
864
(Robert Collins)
865
866
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
867
868
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
869
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
870
871
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
872
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
873
874
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
875
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
876
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
877
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
878
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
879
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
880
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
881
operations. (Robert Collins)
882
883
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
884
885
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
886
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
887
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
888
889
BUG FIXES:
890
891
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
892
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
893
(Martin Pool, #279381)
894
895
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
896
repository now preserves the repository format.
897
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)

899
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
901
902
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
904
905
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
906
it's not there.
907
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
908
909
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
910
(Andrew Bennetts)
911
912
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
913
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
914
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
915
916
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
917
is in a different repository than the current one.
918
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
919
920
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
921
(David Futcher, #242106)
922
923
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
924
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
925
926
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
927
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
928
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
929
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
930
931
* Trivial documentation fix.
932
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
933
934
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
935
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
936
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
937
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
938
939
DOCUMENTATION:
940
941
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
942
943
API CHANGES:
944
945
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
946
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
947
to use. (Robert Collins)
948
949
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
950
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
951
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
952
953
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
954
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
955
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
956
they want. (Robert Collins)
957
958
TESTING:
959
960
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
961
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
962
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
963
964
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
965
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
966
(Mark Hammond)
967
968
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
969
(Aaron Bentley)
970
971
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
972
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
973
974
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
975
(Andrew Bennetts)
976
977
INTERNALS:
978
979
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
980
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
981
982
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
983
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
984
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
985
986
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
987
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
988
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
989
990
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
991
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
992
993
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
994
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
995
996
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
997
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
998
999
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1000
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1001
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1002
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1003
parameters anymore.

1013
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1014
-----------------------
1015
1016
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1017
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1018
1019
FEATURES:
1020
1021
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1022
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1023
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1024
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
1029
------------------
1030
1031
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1032
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1033
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1034
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1035
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1036
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1037
1038
FEATURES
1039
1040
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1041
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1042
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1043
1044
1045
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1046
---------------------
1047
1048
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1049
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1050
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1051
connect to the stacked-on location.
1052
1053
BUG FIXES:
1054
1055
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1056
repository now preserves the repository format.
1057
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1058
1059
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1060
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1061
1062
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1063
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1064
1065
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1070
---------------------
1071
1072
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1073
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1074
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1075
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1076
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1077
it in a future repository format.
1078
1079
1080
CHANGES:
1081
1082
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1083
(Robert Collins)
1084
1085
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1086
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1087
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1088
1089
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1090
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1091
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1092
1093
FEATURES
1094
1095
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1096
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1097
1098
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1099
1100
IMPROVEMENTS:
1101
1102
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1103
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1104
(Martin Pool)
1105
1106
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1107
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1108
1109
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1110
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1111
(Marius Kruger)
1112
1113
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1114
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1115
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1116
(John Arbash Meinel)
1117
1118
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1119
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1120
1121
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1122
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1123
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1124
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1125
(John Arbash Meinel)
1126
1127
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1128
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1129
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1130
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1131
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1132
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1133
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1134
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1135
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1136
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1137
1138
BUG FIXES:
1139
1140
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1141
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1142
1143
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1144
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1145
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1146
1147
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1148
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1149
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1150
1151
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1152
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1153
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1154
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1155
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1156
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1157
1158
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1159
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1160
1161
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1162
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1163
1164
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1165
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1166
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1167
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1168
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1169
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1170
1171
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1172
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1173
1174
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1175
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1176
1177
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1178
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1179
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1180
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1181
1182
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1183
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1184
1185
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1186
assuming the host name is ascii.
1187
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1188
1189
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1190
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1191
1192
DOCUMENTATION:
1193
1194
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1195
1196
API CHANGES:
1197
1198
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1199
1200
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1201
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1202
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1203
(Robert Collins)
1204
1205
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1206
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1207
1208
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1209
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1210
1211
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1212
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1213
1214
TESTING:
1215
1216
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1217
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1218
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1219
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1220
1221
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1222
still in use.
1223
(Mark Hammond)
1224
1225
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1226
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1227
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1228
1229
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1230
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1231
1232
INTERNALS:
1233
1234
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1235
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1236
(Robert Collins)
1237
1238
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1239
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1240
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1241
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1242
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1243
1244
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1245
is unknown in both source and target.
1246
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1247
1248
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1249
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1250
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1251
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1252
1253
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1254
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1255
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1256
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1260
--------------------
1261
1262
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1263
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1264
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1265
1266
1267
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1268
-----------------------
1269
1270
BUG FIXES:
1271
1272
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1273
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1274
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1275
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1276
1277
1278
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1279
-----------------------
1280
1281
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1282
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1283
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1284
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1285
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1286
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1287
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1288
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1289
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1290
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1291
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1292
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1293
1294
BUG FIXES:
1295
1296
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1297
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1298
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1299
start of the string (causing more copies).
1300
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1301
especially for projects with large files.
1302
(John Arbash Meinel)
1303
1304
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1305
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1306
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1307
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1308
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1309
1310
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1311
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1312
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1313
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1314
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
1319
------------------
1320
1321
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1322
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1323
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1324
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1325
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1326
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1327
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1328
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1329
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1333
---------------------
1334
1335
BUG FIXES:
1336
1337
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1338
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1339
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1340
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)

1345
---------------------
1346
1347
BUG FIXES:
1348
1349
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1350
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1351
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)

---------------------
1356
1357
CHANGES:
1358
1359
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1360
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.

1364
1365
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1366
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1367
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1368
(Mark Hammond)
1369
1370
BUG FIXES:
1371
1372
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1373
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1374
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1375
1376
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1377
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1378
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1379
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1380
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1381
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1382
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1383

bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1386
---------------------
1387
1388
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1389
fixes for Windows.
1390
1391
BUG FIXES:
1392
1393
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1394
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1395
1396
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1397
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1398
(Aaron Bentley)
1399
1400
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1401
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1402
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1403
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1404
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1405
1406
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1407
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1408
1409
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1410
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1411
1412
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1413
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1414
1415
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1416
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1417
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1418
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1419
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1420
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1421
1422
1423
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1424
---------------------
1425
1426
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1427
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1428
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1429
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1430
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1431
1432
CHANGES:
1433
1434
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1435
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1436
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1437
1438
IMPROVEMENTS:
1439
1440
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1441
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1442
1443
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1444
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1445
1446
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1447
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1448
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1449
1450
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1451
(James Westby)
1452
1453
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1454
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1455
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1456
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1457
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1458
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1459
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1460
1461
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1462
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1463
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1464
1465
BUG FIXES:
1466
1467
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1468
physical repository boundaries.
1469
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1470
1471
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1472
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1473
1474
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1475
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1476
(Martin Pool)
1477
1478
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1479
(Ian Clatworthy)
1480
1481
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1482
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1483
that Python is running from.
1484
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1485
1486
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1487
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1488
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1489
1490
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1491
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1492
1493
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1494
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1495
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1496
1497
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1498
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1499
1500
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1501
(James Westby, #248448)
1502
1503
API CHANGES:
1504
1505
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1506
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1507
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1508
(Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1511
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1512
(Robert Collins)
1513
1514
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1515
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1516
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1517
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1518
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1519
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1520
(Robert Collins)
1521
1522
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1523
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1524
1525
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1526
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1527
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1528
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1529
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1530
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1531
1532
INTERNALS:
1533
1534
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1535
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1536
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1537
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1538
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1539
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1540
1541
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1542
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1543
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1546
(Ian Clatworthy)
1547
1548
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1549
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1550
1551
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1552
(Ian Clatworthy)

1554
1555
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1556
-----------------------
1557
1558
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1559
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1560
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1561
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1562
bug fixes.
1563
1564
FEATURES:
1565
1566
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1567
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1568
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1569
1570
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1571
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1572
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1573
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1574
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1575
(Ian Clatworthy)
1576
1577
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1578
1579
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1580
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1581
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1582
(Robert Collins)
1583
1584
IMPROVEMENTS:
1585
1586
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1587
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1588
(Martin Pool)
1589
1590
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1591
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1592
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1593
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1594
1595
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1596
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1597
(Christophe Troestler)
1598
1599
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1600
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1601
1602
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1603
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1604
faster. The new request method name is
1605
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1606
1607
BUG FIXES:
1608
1609
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1610
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1611
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1612
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1613
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1614
1615
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1616
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1617
1618
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1619
requires a branch to be present.
1620
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1621
1622
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1623
loaded.
1624
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1625
1626
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1627
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1628
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1629
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1630
1631
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1632
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1633
1634
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1635
name contains an @.
1636
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1637
1638
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1639
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1640
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1641
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1642
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1643
1644
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1645
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1646
1647
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1648
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1649
1650
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1651
Cygwin Bazaar.
1652
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1653
1654
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1655
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1656
1657
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1658
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1659
1660
DOCUMENTATION:
1661
1662
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1663
(Ian Clatworthy)
1664
1665
* Updated developer documentation.
1666
(Martin Pool)
1667
1668
TESTING:
1669
1670
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1671
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1672
1673
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1674
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1675
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1676
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1677
1678
API CHANGES:
1679
1680
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1681
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1682
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1683
Repository docstring for more details.
1684
(Robert Collins)
1685
1686
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1687
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1688
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1689
1690
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1691
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1692
(Daniel Watkins)
1693
1694
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1695
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1696
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1697
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1698
1699
INTERNALS:
1700
1701
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1702
(Alexander Belchenko)
1703
1704
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1705
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1706
containing a given location.
1707
(Daniel Watkins)
1708
1709
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1710
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1711
storage. (Robert Collins)
1712
1713
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1714
(Robert Collins)
1715
1716
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1717
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1718
(Robert Collins)
1719
1720
1721
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1722
-----------------------
1723
1724
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1725
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1726
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1727
now faster.
1728
1729
BUG FIXES:
1730
1731
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1732
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1733
reading from the repository.)
1734
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1735
1736
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1737
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1738
1739
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1740
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1741
(Andrew Bennetts)
1742
1743
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1744
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1745
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1746
1747
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1748
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1749
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1750
1751
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1752
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1753
1754
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1755
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1756
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1757
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1758
1759
IMPROVEMENTS:
1760
1761
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1762
1763
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1764
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1765
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1766
(Adrian Wilkins)
1767
1768
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1769
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1770
1771
DOCUMENTATION:
1772
1773
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1774
1775
TESTING:
1776
1777
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1778
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1779
1780
API CHANGES:
1781
1782
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1783
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1784
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1785
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1786
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1787
1788
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1789
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1790
1791
INTERNALS:
1792
1793
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1794
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1795
1796
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1797
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1798
1799
1800
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1801
-----------------------
1802
1803
1804
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1805
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1806
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1807
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1808
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1809
and future extensions.
1810
1811
1812
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1813
1814
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1815
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1816
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1817
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1818
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1819
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1820
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1821
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1822
1823
CHANGES:
1824
1825
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1826
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1827
(John Arbash Meinel)
1828
1829
FEATURES:
1830
1831
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1832
load. (James Westby)
1833
1834
IMPROVEMENTS:
1835
1836
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1837
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1838
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1839
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1840
1841
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1842
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1843
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1844
1845
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1846
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1847
1848
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1849
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1850
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1851
1852
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1853
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1854
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1855
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1856
step closer to not using full revision history.
1857
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1858
1859
BUGFIXES:
1860
1861
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1862
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1863
1864
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1865
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1866
1867
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1868
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1869
1870
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1871
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1872
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1873
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1874
1875
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1876
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1877
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1878
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1879
1880
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1881
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1882
in use by another process.
1883
(Martin Pool)
1884
1885
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1886
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1887
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1888
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1889
1890
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1891
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1892
1893
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1894
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1895
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1896
1897
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1898
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1899
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1900
1901
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1902
them.
1903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1904
1905
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1906
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1907
1908
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1909
under vim on Mac OS X.
1910
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1911
1912
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1913
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1914
1915
DOCUMENTATION:
1916
1917
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1918
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1919
1920
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1921
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1922
(Ian Clatworthy)
1923
1924
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1925
and about use of Python reprs.
1926
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1927
1928
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1929
1930
TESTING:
1931
1932
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1933
(Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1936
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1937
1938
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1939
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1940
1941
INTERNALS:
1942
1943
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1944
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1945
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1946
(John Arbash Meinel)
1947
1948
API CHANGES:
1949
1950
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1951
instead. (Martin Pool)
1952
1953
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1954
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1955
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1956
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1957
1958
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1959
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1960
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1961
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1962
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1963
1964
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1965
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1966
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1967
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1968
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1969
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
1971
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1972
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1973
(Martin Pool)
1974
1975
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1976
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1977
(Robert Collins)
1978
1979
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1980
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1981
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1982
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1983
1984
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1985
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1986
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1987
1988
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1989
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1990
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1991
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1992
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1993
(Martin Pool)
1994
1995
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1996
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1997
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1998
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1999
(Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2002
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2003
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2004
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2005
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2006
2007
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

2012
------------------
2013
2014
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2015
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2016
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2017
2018
CHANGES:
2019
2020
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2021
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2022
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2023
2024
DOCUMENTATION:
2025
2026

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2035
2036
CHANGES:
2037
2038
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2039
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2040
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2041
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2042
2043
FEATURES:
2044
2045
IMPROVEMENTS:
2046
2047
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2048
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2049
2050
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2051
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2052
2053
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2054
(Aaron Bentley)
2055
2056
BUGFIXES:
2057
2058
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2060
2061
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2062
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2063
2064
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2065
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2066
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2067
2068
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2069
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2070
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2071
2072
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2073
(Andreas Deininger)
2074
2075
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2077
2078
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2079
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2080
2081
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2082
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2083
2084
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2085
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2086
2087
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2088
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2090
2091
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2092
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2093
2094
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2095
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2096
2097
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2098
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2099
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2100
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2101
2102
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2103
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2104
(Martin Pool)
2105
2106
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2107
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2108
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2109
2110
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2111
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2112
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2113
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2114
every revision each side had in common.
2115
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2116
2117
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2118
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2119
2120
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2121
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2122
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2123
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2124
2125
DOCUMENTATION:
2126
2127
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2128
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2129
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2130
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2131
2132
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2133
2134
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2135
2136
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2138
2139
TESTING:
2140
2141
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2142
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2143
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2144
2145
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2146
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2147
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2148
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2149
2150
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2151
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2152
2153
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2154
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2155
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2156
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2157
2158
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2159
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2160
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2161
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2162
2163
INTERNALS:
2164
2165
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2166
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2167
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2168
2169
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2170
2171
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2172
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2173
2174
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2175
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2176
2177
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2178
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2179
2180
API CHANGES:
2181
2182
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2183
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2184
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2185
2186
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2187
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2188
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2189
(Aaron Bentley)
2190
2191
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2192
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2193
(Martin Pool)
2194
2195
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

2200
------------------
2201
2202
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2203
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2204
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2205
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2206
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2207
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2208
and faster performance.
2209
2210
BUG FIXES:
2211
2212
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break

* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2224
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2225
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2226
2227
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2228
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2229
2230
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2231
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2232
2233
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to

CHANGES:
2245
2246
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2247
2248
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2249
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2250
2251
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2252
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2253
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2254
2255
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2256
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2257
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2258
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2259
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2260
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2261
Andrew Cowie)
2262
2263
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2264
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2265
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2266
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2267
2268
FEATURES:
2269
2270
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2271
2272
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2273
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2274
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2275
2276
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2277
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2278
See the User Reference for signature details.
2279
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2280
2281
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2282
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2283
2284
IMPROVEMENTS:
2285
2286
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2287
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2288
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2289
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2290
2291
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2292
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2293
2294
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2295
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2296
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2297
Wouter van Heyst)
2298
2299
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2300
(Chad Miller)
2301
2302
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2303
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2304
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2305
2306
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2307
(Aaron Bentley)
2308
2309
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2310
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
2312
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2313
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2314
2315
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2316
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2317
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2318
2319
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2320
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2321
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2322
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2323
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2324
2325
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2326
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2327
2328
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2329
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2330
2331
BUGFIXES:
2332
2333
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2334
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2335
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2336
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2337
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2338
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2339
2340
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2341
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2342
2343
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2344
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2345
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2346
2347
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2348
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2349
2350
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2351
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2352
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2353
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2354
2355
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2356
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2357
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2358
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2359
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2360
2361
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2362
2363
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2364
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2365
2366
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2367
2368
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2369
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2370
2371
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2372
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

DOCUMENTATION:
2375
2376
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2377
2378
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2379
2380
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2381
2382
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2383
2384
API BREAKS:
2385
2386
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2387
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2388
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2389
2390
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2391
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2392
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2393
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2394
2395
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2396
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2397
release. (James Westby)
2398
2399
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2400
(Andrew Bennetts)
2401
2402
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2403
2404
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2405
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2406
2407
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2408
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2409
2410
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2411
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2412
2413
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2414
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2415
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2416
2417
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2418
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2419
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2420
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2421
2422
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2423
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2424
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2425
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2426
2427
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2428
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2429
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2430
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2431
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2432
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2433
2434
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2435
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2436
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2437
2438
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2439
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2440
2441
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2442
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2443
(Robert Collins)
2444
2445
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2446
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2447
2448
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2449
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2450
2451
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2452
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2455
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2456
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2457
2458
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2459
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2460
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2461
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2462
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2463
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2464
2465
TESTING:
2466
2467
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2468
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2469
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2470
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2471
2472
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2473
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2474
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2475
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2476
implement this).
2477
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2478
2479
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2480
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2481
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2482
2483
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2484
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2485
2486
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2487
2488
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2489
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2490
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2491
2492
INTERNALS:
2493
2494
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2495
2496
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2497
(Martin Albisetti)
2498
2499
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2500
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2501
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2502
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2503
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2504
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2505
2506
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2507
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2508
2509
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2510
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2511
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2512
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2513
2514
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2515
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2516
2517
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2518
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

2539
------------------
2540
2541
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2542
2543
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2544
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2545
features have been added.
2546
2547

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2558
2559
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2560
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2561
2562
CHANGES:
2563
2564
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2565
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2566
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2567
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2568
(Robert Collins)
2569
2570
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2571
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2572
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2573
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2574
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2575
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2576
2577
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2578
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2579
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2580
(Alexander Belchenko)
2581
2582
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2583
2584
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2585
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2586
2587
FEATURES:
2588
2589
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2590
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2591
2592
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2593
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2594
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2595
2596
IMPROVEMENTS:
2597
2598
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2601
2602
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2603
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2604
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2605
2606
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2607
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2608
2609
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2610
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2611
2612
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2613
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2614
(Alexander Belchenko)
2615
2616
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2617
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2618
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2619
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2620
2621
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2622
(Daniel Watkins)
2623
2624
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2625
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2626
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2627
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2628
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2629
2630
BUGFIXES:
2631
2632
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2633
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2634
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2635
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2636
2637
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2638
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2639
2640
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2641
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2642
2643
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2644
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2645
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2646
2647
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2648
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2649
2650
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2651
#196618)
2652
2653
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2654
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2655
2656
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2657
2658
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2659
2660
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2661
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2662
2663
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2664
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2665
2666
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2667
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2668
2669
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2670
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2671
2672
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2673
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2674
2675
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2676
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2677

API BREAKS:
2684
2685
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2686
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2687
(Alexander Belchenko)
2688
2689
TESTING:
2690
2691
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2692
2693
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2694
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2695
(Robert Collins)
2696
2697
INTERNALS:
2698
2699
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2700
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2701
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2702
2703
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2704
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2705
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2706
(Alexander Belchenko)
2707
2708
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2709
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2710
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2711
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2712
2713
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2714
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2715
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2716
(Robert Collins)
2717
2718
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2719
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2720
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2721
2722
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2723
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2724
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2725
2726
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2727
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2728
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2729
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2744
2745
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2746
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2747
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2748
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.

This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.

CHANGES:
2753
2754
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2755
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2756
2757
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2758
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2759
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2760
2761
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2762
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2763
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2764
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2765
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2766
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2767
(Aaron Bentley)
2768
2769
FEATURES:
2770
2771
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2772
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2773
2774
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2775
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2776
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2777
(Robert Collins)
2778
2779
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2780
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2781
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2782
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2783
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2784
2785
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2786
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2787
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2788
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2789
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2790
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2791
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2792
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2793
2794
IMPROVEMENTS:
2795
2796
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2797
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2798
2799
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2800
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2801
2802
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2803
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2804
2805
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2806
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2807
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2808
2809
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2810
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2811
(John Arbash Meinel)
2812
2813
BUGFIXES:
2814
2815
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2816
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2817
2818
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2819
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2820
2821
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2822
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2823
2824
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2825
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2826
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2827
2828
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2829
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2830
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2831
2832
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2833
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2834
2835
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2836
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2837
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2838
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2839
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2840
unittest runner.
2841
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2842
2843
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2844
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2845
#185907)
2846
2847
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2848
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2849
2850
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2851
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2852
2853
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2855
2856
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2857
more characters which should be considered valid.
2858
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2859
2860
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2861
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2862
2863
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2864
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2865
2866
API BREAKS:
2867
2868
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2869
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2870
2871
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2872
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2873
(Martin Pool)
2874
2875
TESTING:
2876
2877
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2878
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2879
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2880
2881
INTERNALS:
2882
2883
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2884
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2885
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2886
2887
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2888
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2889
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2890
2891
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2892
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2893
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2894
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2895
2896
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2897
2898
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2899
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2900
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2901
server. (Robert Collins)
2902
2903
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2904
operate. (Robert Collins)
2905
2906
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2907
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2908
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2909
2910
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2911
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2912
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2913
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2914
2915
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2916
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2917
2918
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2919
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2920
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2921
2922
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2923
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2924
2925
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2926
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2927
2928
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2929
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2930
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2931
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
2935
------------------
2936
2937
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2938
2939
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2940
---------------------
2941
2942
CHANGES:
2943
2944
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2945
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2946
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2947
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2948
2949
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2950
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2951
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2952
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2953
2954
FEATURES:
2955
2956
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2957
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2958
2959
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2960
(Aaron Bentley)
2961
2962
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2963
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2964
2965
IMPROVEMENTS:
2966
2967
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2968
#90049)
2969
2970
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2971
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2972
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2973
2974
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2975
2976
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2977
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2978
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2979
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2980
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2981
2982
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2983
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2984
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2985
2986
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2987
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2988
2989
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2990
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2991
2992
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2993
2994
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2995
2996
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2997
(Aaron Bentley)
2998
2999
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3000
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3001
3002
BUGFIXES:
3003
3004
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3005
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3006
3007
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3009
3010
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3011
(Aaron Bentley)
3012
3013
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3014
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3015
3016
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3017
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3018
3019
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3020
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3021
3022
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3023
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3024
3025
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3026
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3027
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3028
3029
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3031
3032
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3033
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3034
(Aaron Bentley)
3035
3036
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3037
3038
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3039
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3041
3042
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3043
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3044
3045
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3046
(Aaron Bentley)
3047
3048
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3049
#148087)
3050
3051
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3052
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3053
3054
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3055
#137681)
3056
3057
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3058
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3059
(Aaron Bentley)
3060
3061
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3062
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3064
3065
DOCUMENTATION:
3066
3067
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3068
(Ian Clatworthy)
3069
3070
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3071
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3072
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3073
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3074
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3075
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3076
3077
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3078
3079
INTERNALS:
3080
3081
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3082
(Aaron Bentley)
3083
3084
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3085
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3086
3087
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3088
3089
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3090
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3091
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3092
Robert Collins)
3093
3094
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3095
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3096
3097
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3098
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3099
3100
API BREAKS:
3101
3102
TESTING:
3103
3104
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3105
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3106
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3107
3108
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3109
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3110
(Robert Collins)
3111
3112
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3113
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3114
3115
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3116
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3117
3118
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3119
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3120
3121
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3122
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3123
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3124
3125
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3126
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3127
3128
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3129
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3130
3131
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3132
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3133
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3134
3135
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3136
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3137
3138
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3139
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

3163
3164
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug

BUGFIXES:
3170
3171
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3172
3173
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3174
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3175
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3176
feedback but also incur more latency.
3177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3178
3179
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3180
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

3188
3189
INTERNALS:
3190
3191
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3205
(Aaron Bentley)
3206
3207
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3208
Nordhoff, #172612)
3209
3210
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3211
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3212
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3213
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3214
3215
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.

* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3226
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3227
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3228
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3229
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3230
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3231
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3232
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3233
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3250
3251
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3252
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3253
required.
3254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

3269
---------------------
3270
3271
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3272
3273
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3274
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3275
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3276
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3277
3278
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3279
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3280
3281
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3282
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3283
3284
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3285
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3286
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3287
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3288
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3289
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3290
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3291
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3292
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3293
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3294
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3295
from any tree without problems.
3296
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3297
3298
CHANGES:
3299
3300
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3301
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3302
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3303
3304
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3305
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3306
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3307
(Martin Pool)
3308
3309
FEATURES:
3310
3311
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3312
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3313
supported transports.
3314
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3315
3316
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3317
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3318
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3319
3320
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3321
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3322
3323
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3324
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3325
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3326
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3327
3328
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3329
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3330
3331
PERFORMANCE:
3332
3333
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3334
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3335
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3336
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3337
3338
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3339
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3340
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3341
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3342
3343
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3344
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3345
3346
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3347
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3348
3349
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3350
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3351
3352
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3353
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3354
(Aaron Bentley)
3355
3356
IMPROVEMENTS:
3357
3358
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3359
(Aaron Bentley)
3360
3361
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3362
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3363
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3364
3365
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3366
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3367
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3368
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3369
3370
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3371
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3372
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3373
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3383
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3384
3385
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3386
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3387
3388
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3390

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3392
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

3394
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

3401
(Aaron Bentley)
3402
3403
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3405
3406
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3407
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3409
3410
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3411
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3412
3413
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3414
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3415
3416
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3417
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3418
3419
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3421
3422
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3423
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3424
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3425
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3426
on them.
3427
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3428
3429
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3430
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3432
3433
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3434
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3435
3436
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3437
to be reconciled.
3438
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3439
3440
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3441
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3442
3443
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3444
specify a port in urls.
3445
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3446
3447
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3448
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3449
3450
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3451
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3452
3453
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3454
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3455
3456
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3457
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3458
3459
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3460
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3461
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3462
3463
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3464
3465
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3466
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3467
3468
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3469
Watkins, #152811)
3470
3471
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3472
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3473
3474
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3475
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3476
3477
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3478
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3479
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3480
3481
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3482
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3483
3484
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3485
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3486
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3487
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3488
3489
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3490
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3491
3492
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3493
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3494
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3495
3496
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3497
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3498
3499
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3501
3502
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3504
3505
API BREAKS:
3506
3507
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3508
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3509
3510
* The return value of
3511
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3512
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3513
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3514
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3515
3516
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3517
(Robert Collins)
3518
3519
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3520
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3521
format.
3522
(Martin Pool)
3523
3524
INTERNALS:
3525
3526
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3527
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3528
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3529
Bennetts)
3530
3531
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3532
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3533
3534
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

3550
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3551
3552
CHANGES:
3553
3554
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3555
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3556
3557
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3558
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3559
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3560
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3561
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3562
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3563
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3564
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3565
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3566
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3567
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3568
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3569
(Robert Collins)
3570
3571
FEATURES:
3572
3573
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3574
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3575
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3576
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3577
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3578
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3579
3580
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3581
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3582
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3583
(Robert Collins)
3584
3585
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3586
3587
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3588
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3589
3590
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3591
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3592
(Aaron Bentley)
3593
3594
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3595
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3596
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3597
3598
PERFORMANCE:
3599
3600
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3601
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3602
3603
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3604
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3605
3606
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3607
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3608
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3609
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3610
3611
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3612
(Robert Collins)
3613
3614
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3615
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3616
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3617
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3618
3619
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3620
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3623
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3624
3625
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3626
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3627
3628
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3629
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3630
3631
IMPROVEMENTS:
3632
3633
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3634
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3635
3636
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3637
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3638
3639
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3640
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3641
3642
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3643
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3644
3645
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3646
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3647
3648
DOCUMENTATION:
3649
3650
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3651
3652
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3653
(Ian Clatworthy)
3654
3655
BUG FIXES:
3656
3657
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3658
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3659
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3660
3661
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3662
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3663
3664
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3665
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3666
3667
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3668
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3669
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3670
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3671
3672
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3673
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3674
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3675
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3676
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3677
3678
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3679
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3680
paramiko.
3681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3682
3683
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3684
3685
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3686
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3687
3688
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.

3691
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3693
3694
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3695
contains a symbolic link.
3696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3697
3698
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3699
(James Westby, #140615)
3700
3701
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3702
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3704
3705
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3706
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3707
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3708
3709
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3710
3711
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3713
3714
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3715
will remain opened.
3716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3717
3718
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3719
directory to detect leaking tests.
3720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3721
3722
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3723
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3724
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3725
3726
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3727
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3728
3729
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3730
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3731
3732
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3733
Merwe)
3734
3735
API BREAKS:
3736
3737
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3738
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3739
3740
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3741
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3742
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3743
3744
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3745
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3746
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3747
3748
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3749
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3750
3751
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3752
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3753
3754
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3755
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3756
(Martin Pool)
3757
3758
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3759
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3760
3761
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3762
class that needs it.
3763
(Martin Pool)
3764
3765
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3766
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3767
3768
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3769
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3770
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3771
3772
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3773
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3774
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3775
(Robert Collins)
3776
3777
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3778
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3779
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3780
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3781
(Robert Collins)
3782
3783
INTERNALS:
3784
3785
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3786
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3787
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3788
3789
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3790
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3791
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3792
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3793
3794
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3795
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3796
(Robert Collins)
3797
3798
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3799
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3800
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3801
3802
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3803
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3804
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3805
3806
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3807
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3808
3809
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3810
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3811
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3812
3813
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3814
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3815
3816
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3817
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3818
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3819
3820
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3821
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3822
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3823
3824
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3825
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3826
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3827
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3828
3829
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3830
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3831
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3832
returned. (Robert Collins)
3833
3834
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3835
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3836
3837
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3838
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3839
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3840
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3841
(Robert Collins)
3842
3843
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3844
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3845
3846
TESTING:
3847
3848
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3849
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3850
3851
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3852
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3853
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3854
makes this behavior available to other users.
3855
(Martin Pool)
3856
3857
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3858
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3859
3860
3861
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3862
-------------------
3863
3864
BUG FIXES:
3865
3866
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3867
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3868
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3869
3870
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3871
3872
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3873
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3874
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3875
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3876
3877
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3878
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3879
(Andrew Bennetts)
3880
3881
3882
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3883
----------------------
3884
3885
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3886
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3887
3888
3889
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3890
----------------------
3891
3892
CHANGES:
3893
3894
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3895
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3896
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3897
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3898
(Martin Pool)
3899
3900
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3901
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3902
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3903
(Ian Clatworthy)
3904
3905
FEATURES:
3906
3907
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3908
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3909
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3910
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3911
3912
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3913
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3914
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3915
3916
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3917
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3918
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3919
3920
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3921
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3922
3923
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3924
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3925
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3926
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3927
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3928
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3929
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3930
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3931
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3932
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3933
3934
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3935
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3936
3937
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3938
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3939
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3940
3941
BUG FIXES:
3942
3943
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3944
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3945
3946
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3947
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3948
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3949
3950
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3951
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3952
3953
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3954
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3955
3956
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3957
(Aaron Bentley)
3958
3959
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3960
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3961
3962
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3963
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3964
3965
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3966
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3967
3968
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3969
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3970
3971
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3972
3973
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3974
Watkins, #106726)
3975
3976
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3977
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3978
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3979
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3980
3981
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3982
3983
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3984
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3985
#133548)
3986
3987
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3988
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3989
3990
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3991
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3992
#116143)
3993
3994
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3995
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3996
3997
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3998
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3999
4000
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4001
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4002
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4003
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4004
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4005
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4006
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4007
4008
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4009
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4010
4011
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4012
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4013
4014
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4015
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4016
4017
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4019
4020
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4021
connections.
4022
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4023
4024
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4025
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4026
4027
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4028
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4029
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4030
4031
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4032
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4033
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4034
4035
IMPROVEMENTS:
4036
4037
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4038
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4039
4040
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4041
(Aaron Bentley)
4042
4043
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4044
(Aaron Bentley)
4045
4046
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4047
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4048
4049
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4050
4051
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4052
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4053
4054
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4055
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4056
4057
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4058
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4059
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4060
space). (Robert Collins)
4061
4062
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4063
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4064
(Ian Clatworthy)
4065
4066
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4067
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4068
4069
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4070
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4071
4072
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4073
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4074
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4075
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4076
4077
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4078
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4079
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4080
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4081
4082
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4083
(Ian Clatworthy)
4084
4085
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4086
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4087
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4088
4089
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4090
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4091
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4092
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4093
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4094
4095
API BREAKS:
4096
4097
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4098
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4099
4100
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4101
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4102
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4103
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4104
affected. (Robert Collins)
4105
4106
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4107
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4108
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4109
(Robert Collins)
4110
4111
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4112
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4113
4114
TESTING:
4115
4116
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4117
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4118
4119
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4120
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4121
4122
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4123
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4124
4125
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4126
(Aaron Bentley)
4127
4128
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4129
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4130
4131
INTERNALS:
4132
4133
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4134
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4135
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4136
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4137
4138
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4139
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4140
4141
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4142
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4143
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4144
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4145
4146
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4147
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4148
present. (Robert Collins)
4149
4150
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4151
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4152
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4153
API. (Robert Collins)
4154
4155
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4156
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4157
(Robert Collins)
4158
4159
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4160
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4161
4162
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4163
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4164
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4165
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4166
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4167
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4168
4169
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4170
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4171
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4172
4173
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4174
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4175
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4176
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4177
protocol.
4178
4179
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4180
(Aaron Bentley)
4181
4182
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4183
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4184
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4185
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4186
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4187
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4188
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4189
4190
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4191
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4192
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4193
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4194
4195
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4196
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4197
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4198
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4199
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4200
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4201
4202
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4203
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4204
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4205
4206
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4207
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
4212
4213
IMPROVEMENTS:
4214
4215
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4216
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4217
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4218
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4219
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4220
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4221
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4223
4224
4225
API CHANGES:
4226
4227
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4228
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4229
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4230
4231
4232
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4233
----------------------
4234
4235
BUGFIXES:
4236
4237
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4238
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4239
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4240
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4241
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4242
4243
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4245
4246
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4247
anymore.
4248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4249
4250
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4251
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4252
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4253
4254
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4255
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4256
#111664)
4257
4258
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4259
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4260
4261
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4262
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4263
4264
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4265
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4266
4267
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4268
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4269
4270
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4271
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4272
4273
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4274
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4275
4276
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4277
(Aaron Bentley)
4278
4279
IMPROVEMENTS:
4280
4281
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4282
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4283
4284
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4285
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4286
4287
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4288
the repository (Robert Collins)
4289
4290
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4291
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4292
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4293
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4294
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4295
4296
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4297
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4298
4299
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4300
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4301
(John Arbash Meinel)
4302
4303
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4304
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4305
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4306
about 10%).
4307
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4308
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4309
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4310
(John Arbash Meinel)
4311
4312
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4313
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4314
(Robert Collins)
4315
4316
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4317
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4318
4319
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4320
(Ian Clatworthy)
4321
4322
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4323
4324
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4325
4326
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4327
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4328
4329
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4330
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4331
Meinel)
4332
4333
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4334
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4335
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4336
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4337
4338
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4339
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4340
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4341
4342
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4343
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4344
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4345
4346
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4347
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4348
4349
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4350
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4351
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4352
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4353
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4354
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4355
(Ian Clatworthy)
4356
4357
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4358
(Alexander Belchenko)
4359
4360
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4361
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4362
4363
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4364
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4365
4366
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4367
4368
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4369
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4370
4371
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4372
4373
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4374
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4375
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4376
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4377
4378
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4379
4380
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4381
(Robert Collins)
4382
4383
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4384
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4385
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4386
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4387
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4388
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4389
4390
INTERNALS:
4391
4392
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4393
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4394
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4395
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4396
4397
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4398
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4399
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4400
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4401
tests have been refactored too.
4402
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4403
4404
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4405
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4406
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4407
list, it will.
4408
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4409
4410
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4411
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4412
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4413
4414
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4415
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4416
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4417
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4418
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4419
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4420
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4421
4422
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4423
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4424
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4425
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4426
(John Arbash Meinel)
4427
4428
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4429
functionality for testing.
4430
4431
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4432
4433
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4434
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4435
4436
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4437
4438
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4439
(Robert Collins)
4440
4441
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4442
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4445
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4446
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4447
4448
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4449
(Aaron Bentley)
4450
4451
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4452
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4453
4454
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4455
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4456
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4457
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4458
4459
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4460
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4461
4462
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4463
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4464
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4465
4466
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4467
(Marius Kruger)
4468
4469
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4470
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4471
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4472
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4473
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4474
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4475
4476
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4477
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4478
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4479
many files. (Robert Collins)
4480
4481
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4482
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4483
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4484
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4485
4486
TESTING:
4487
4488
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4489
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4490
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4491
4492
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4493
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4494
4495
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4496
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4497
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
4512
4513
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4514
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4515
4516
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4517
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4518
(James Westby, #122656)
4519
4520
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4521
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4522
4523
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4524
authentication header.
4525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4526
4527
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4528
4529
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4530
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4531
4532
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4533
4534
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4536
4537
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4538
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4540
4541
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4542
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4543
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4544
4545
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4546
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4547
4548
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4550
4551
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4552
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4553
4554
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4555
4556
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4557
4558
IMPROVEMENTS:
4559
4560
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4561
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4562
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4563
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4564
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4565
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4566
4567
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4568
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4569
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4570
4571
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4572
(Elliot Murphy)
4573
4574
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4575
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4576
4577
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4578
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4579
4580
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4581
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4582
4583
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4584
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4585
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4586
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4587
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4588
4589
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4590
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4591
4592
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4593
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4594
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4595
4596
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4597
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4598
4599
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4600
4601
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4602
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4603
4604
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4605
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4606
(Robert Collins)
4607
4608
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4609
(Martin Pool)
4610
4611
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4612
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4613
4614
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4615
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4616
4617
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4618
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4619
4620
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4621
4622
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4623
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4624
4625
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4626
(Andrew Bennetts)
4627
4628
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4629
4630
* Testing cleanups -
4631
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4632
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4633
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4634
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4635
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4636
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4637
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4638
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4639
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4640
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4641
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4642
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4643
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4644
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4645
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4646
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4647
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4648
(Robert Collins)
4649
4650
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4651
4652
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4653
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4654
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4655
4656
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4657
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4658
4659
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4660
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4661
4662
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4663
4664
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4665
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4666
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4667
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4668
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4669
same location. (Robert Collins)
4670
4671
INTERNALS:
4672
4673
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4674
4675
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4676
4677
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4678
4679
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4680
(Martin Pool)
4681
4682
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4683
(Martin Pool)
4684
4685
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4686
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4687
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4688
4689
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4690
4691
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4692
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4693
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4694
4695
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4696
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4697
4698
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4699
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4700
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4701
4702
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4703
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4704
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4705
4706
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4707
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4708
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4709
4710
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4711
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4712
Martin Pool)
4713
4714
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4715
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4716
4717
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4718
(Alexander Belchenko)
4719
4720
TESTING:
4721
4722
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4723
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4724
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4725
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4726
4727
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4728
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4729
testing. (Robert Collins)
4730
4731
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4732
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4733
4734
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4735
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4736
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4737
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4738
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4739
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4740
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4741
4742
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4743
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4744
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4745
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4746
4747
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4748
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4749
4750
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4751
avoid useless cloning.

4770
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4771
4772
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4773
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4774
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4775
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4776
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4777
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4778
and unlock() like so::
4779
4780
work_tree.lock_read()
4781
try:
4782
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4783
finally:
4784
work_tree.unlock()
4785
4786
INTERNALS:
4787
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4788
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4789
object.
4790
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4791
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4792
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4793
4794
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4795
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4796
too. (Robert Collins)
4797
4798
IMPROVEMENTS:
4799
4800
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4801
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4802
Aaron Bentley)
4803
4804
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4805
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4806
4807
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4808
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4809
4810
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4811
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4812
understanding what changes have occurred
4813
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4814
4815
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4816
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4817
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4818
4819
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4820
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4821
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4822
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4823
4824
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4825
#56322)
4826
4827
BUGFIXES:
4828
4829
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4830
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4831
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4832
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4833
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4834
4835
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4836
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4837
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4838
4839
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4841
4842
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4843
into account.
4844
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4845
4846
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4847
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4848
4849
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4850
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4851
4852
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4853
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4854
4855
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4856
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4857
4858
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4859
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4860
4861
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4862
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4863
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4866
--------------------
4867
4868
BUGFIXES:
4869
4870
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4871
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4872
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4873
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4874
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4875
4876
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4877
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4878
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4879
4880
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4881
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4882
4883
IMPROVEMENTS:
4884
4885
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4886
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4887
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4888
4889
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4890
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4891
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4892
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4895
-----------------------
4896
4897
BUGFIXES:
4898
4899
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4900
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4901
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4902
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4903
4904
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4905
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4906
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4907
4908
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4909
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4910
4911
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4912
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4913
4914
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4915
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4918
-----------------------
4919
4920
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4921
4922
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4923
it could be recovered again.
4924
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4925
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4926
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4927
but not delete it.
4928
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4929
files.
4930
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4931
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4932
4933
IMPROVEMENTS:
4934
4935
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4936
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4937
4938
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4939
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4940
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4941
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4942
4943
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4944
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4945
4946
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4947
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4948
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4949
4950
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4951
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4952
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4953
4954
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4955
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4956
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4957
4958
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4959
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4960
Robert Collins)
4961
4962
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4963
Pool)
4964
4965
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4966
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4967
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4968
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4969
4970
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4971
(Robert Collins)
4972
4973
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4974
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4975
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4976
(Robert Collins)
4977
4978
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4979
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4980
4981
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4982
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4983
4984
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4985
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4986
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4987
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4988
(Robert Collins)
4989
4990
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4991
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4992
4993
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4994
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4995
4996
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4997
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4998
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4999
5000
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5001
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5002
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5003
5004
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5005
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5006
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5007
5008
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5009
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5010
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5011
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5012
5013
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5014
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5015
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5016
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5017
5018
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5019
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5020
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5021
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5022
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5023
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5024
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5025
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5026
header(s).
5027
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5028
5029
INTERNALS:
5030
5031
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5032
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5033
5034
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5035
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5036
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5037
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5038
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5039
5040
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5041
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5042
5043
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5044
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5045
5046
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5047
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5050
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5051
5052
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5053
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5054
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5055
(Robert Collins).
5056
5057
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5058
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5059
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5060
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5061
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5062
(Robert Collins)
5063
5064
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5065
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5066
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5067
5068
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5069
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5070
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5071
5072
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5073
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5074
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5075
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5076
5077
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5078
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5079
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5080
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5081
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5082
5083
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5084
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5085
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5086
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5087
5088
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5089
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5090
5091
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5092
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5093
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5094
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5095
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5096
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5097
5098
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5099
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5100
5101
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5102
help. (Robert Collins)
5103
5104
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5105
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5106
5107
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5108
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5109
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5110
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5111
(John Arbash Meinel)
5112
5113
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5114
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5115
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5116
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5117
useful. (Robert Collins)
5118
5119
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5120
(Andrew Bennetts)
5121
5122
BUGFIXES:
5123
5124
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5125
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5126
5127
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5128
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5129
5130
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5131
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5132
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5133
5134
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5135
(Aaron Bentley)
5136
5137
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5138
the file, and does it faster.
5139
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5140
5141
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5142
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5143
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5144
5145
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5146
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5147
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5148
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5149
5150
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5151
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5152
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5153
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5154
5155
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5156
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5157
5158
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5159
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5160
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5161
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5162
Arbash Meinel)
5163
5164
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5165
5166
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5167
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5168
5169
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5170
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5171
5172
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5173
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5174
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5175
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5176
security hole.
5177
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5178
5179
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5181
5182
TESTING:
5183
5184
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5185
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5186
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5187
5188
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5189
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5190
5191
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5192
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5193
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5194
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5195
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5196
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5197
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5198
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5199
5200
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5201
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5202
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5203
5204
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5205
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5206
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5207
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5208
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5209
access.
5210
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5211
5212
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5213
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5214
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5215
5216
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5217
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
5234
5235
CHANGES:
5236
5237
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5238
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5239
(Martin Pool)
5240
5241
IMPROVEMENTS:
5242
5243
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5244
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5245
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5246
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5247
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5248
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5249
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5250
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5251
path. (vila)
5252
5253
INTERNALS:
5254
5255
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5256
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5257
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5258
5259
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5260
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5261
(Martin Pool)
5262
5263
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5264
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5265
(John Arbash Meinel)
5266
5267
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5268
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5269
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5270
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5271
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5272
5273
BUGFIXES:
5274
5275
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5276
(vila, #92195)
5277
5278
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5279
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5280
5281
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5282
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5283
5284
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5285
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5286
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5287
5288
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5289
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5290
5291
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5292
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5293
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5294
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5295
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5296
5297
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5298
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5299
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5300
5301
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

5305
-----------------------
5306
5307
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5308
5309
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5310
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5311
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5312
5313
IMPROVEMENTS:
5314
5315
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5316
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5317
5318
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5319
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5320
5321
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5322
5323
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5324
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5325
5326
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5327
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5328
5329
INTERNALS:
5330
5331
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5332
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
5333
5334
BUGFIXES:
5335
5336
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5337
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5338
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5339
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5340
5341
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5342
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5343
5344
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5345
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5346
5347
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5348
(Marien Zwart)
5349
5350
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5351
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

5354
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5355
-----------------------
5356
5357
SURPRISES:
5358
5359
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5360
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5361
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5362
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5363
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5364
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5365
5366
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5367
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5368
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5369
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5370
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5371
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5372
development.
5373
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5374
5375
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5376
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5377
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5378
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5379
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5380
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5381
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5382
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5383
5384
IMPROVEMENTS:
5385
5386
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5387
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5388
5389
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5390
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5391
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5392
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5393
does exist.
5394
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5395
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5396
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5397
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5398
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5399
5400
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5401
(Aaron Bentley)
5402
5403
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5404
(Aaron Bentley)
5405
5406
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5407
(Robert Collins)
5408
5409
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5410
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5411
(Aaron Bentley)
5412
5413
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5414
(Aaron Bentley)
5415
5416
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5417
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5418
5419
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5420
directory. (Martin Pool)
5421
5422
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5423
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5424
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5425
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5426
5427
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5428
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5429
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5430
in docs/configuration.txt.
5431
5432
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5433
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5434
bind location.
5435
5436
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5437
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5438
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5439
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5440
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5441
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5442
5443
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5444
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5445
5446
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5447
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5448
5449
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5450
(Aaron Bentley)
5451
5452
INTERNALS:
5453
5454
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5455
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5456
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5457
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5458
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5459
(John Arbash Meinel)
5460
5461
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5462
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5463
(Aaron Bentley)
5464
5465
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5466
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5467
(John Arbash Meinel)
5468
5469
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5470
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5471
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5472
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5473
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5474
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5475
5476
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5477
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5478
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5479
5480
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5481
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5482
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5483
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5484
repository.
5485
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5486
5487
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5488
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5489
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5490
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5491
5492
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5493
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5494
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5495
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5496
5497
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5498
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5499
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5500
5501
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5502
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5503
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5504
5505
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5506
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5507
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5508
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5509
5510
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5511
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5512
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5513
5514
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5515
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5516
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5517
5518
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5519
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5520
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5521
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5522
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5523
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5524
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5525
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5526
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5529
5530
BUGFIXES:
5531
5532
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5533
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5534
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5535
5536
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5537
(Aaron Bentley)
5538
5539
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5540
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5541
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5542
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5543
5544
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5545
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5546
#83954).
5547
5548
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5549
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5550
5551
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5552
5553
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5554
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5555
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5556
5557
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5558
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5559
5560
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5562
5563
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5565
5566
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5567
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5568
5569
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5570
5571
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5572
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5573
5574
TESTING:
5575
5576
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

5583
IMPROVEMENTS:
5584
5585
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5586
5587
BUG FIXES:
5588
5589
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5590
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5591
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5592
5593
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5594
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5595
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5599
-----------------------
5600
5601
IMPROVEMENTS:
5602
5603
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5604
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5605
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5606
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5607
5608
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5609
(Marius Kruger)
5610
5611
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5612
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5613
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5614
5615
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5616
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5617
5618
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5619
(Aaron Bentley)
5620
5621
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5622
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5623
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5624
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5625
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5626
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5627
5628
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5629
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5630
should enable you to do::
5631
5632
[/home/user/project]
5633
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5634
push_location:policy = appendpath
5635
5636
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5637
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5638
(James Henstridge)
5639
5640
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5641
for each file. For example::
5642
5643
$ bzr status --short
5644
A foo
5645
A bar
5646
D baz
5647
? wooley
5648
5649
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5650
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5651
5652
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5653
5654
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5655
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5656
5657
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5658
5659
INTERNALS:
5660
5661
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5662
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5663
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5664
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5665
5666
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5667
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5668
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5669
5670
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5671
5672
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5673
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5674
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5675
(Alexander Belchenko)
5676
5677
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5678
Pool)
5679
5680
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5681
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5682
5683
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5684
5685
BUG FIXES:
5686
5687
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5688
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5689
5690
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5691
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5692
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5693
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5694
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5695
5696
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5697
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5698
5699
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5700
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5701
5702
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5703
matcher.
5704
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5705
5706
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5707
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5708
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5709
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5710
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5711
5712
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5713
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5714
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5715
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5716
5717
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5718
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5719
5720
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5721
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5722
5723
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5724
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5725
5726
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
5739
5740
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5741
tree from a branch.
5742
(Daniel Silverstone)
5743
5744
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5745
operations are substantially faster.
5746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5747
5748
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5749
tree from some other url. For example:
5750
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5751
(Daniel Silverstone)
5752
5753
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5754
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5755
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5756
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5757
5758
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5759
(Andrew Bennetts)
5760
5761
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5762
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5763
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5764
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5765
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5766
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5767
5768
INTERNALS:
5769
5770
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5771
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5772
(Martin Pool)
5773
5774
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5775
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5776
(John Arbash Meinel)
5777
5778
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5779
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5780
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5781
(John Arbash Meinel)
5782
5783
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5784
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5785
5786
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5787
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5788
5789
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5790
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5791
Bennetts)
5792
5793
BUG FIXES:
5794
5795
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5796
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5797
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5798
5799
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5800
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5801
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5802
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5803
5804
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5805
5806
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5807
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5808
5809
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5810
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5811
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5813
5814
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5815
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5816
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5817
5818
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5819
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5820
them as full references rather than integers.
5821
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5822
5823
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5824
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5825
5826
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5827
5828
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5829
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5830
5831
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5832
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5833
5834
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5835
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5836
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5837
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5838
5839
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5840
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5841
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5842
5843
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5844
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5845
5846
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5847
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5848
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5849
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5850
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5851
5852
TESTING:
5853
5854
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5855
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

5860
INTERNALS:

bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5867
-----------------------
5868
5869
IMPROVEMENTS:
5870
5871
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5872
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5873
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5874
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5875
5876
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5877
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5878
5879
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5880
5881
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5882
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5883
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5884
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5885
5886
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5887
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5888
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5889
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5890
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5891
5892
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5893
5894
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5895
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5896
5897
INTERNALS:
5898
5899
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5900
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5901
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5902
5903
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5904
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5905
(John Arbash Meinel)
5906
5907
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5908
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5909
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5910
5911
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5912
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5913
(Aaron Bentley)
5914
5915
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5916
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5917
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5918
5919
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5920
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5921
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5922
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5923
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5924
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5925
5926
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5927
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5928
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5929
(Robert Collins)
5930
5931
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5932
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5933
5934
BUG FIXES:
5935
5936
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5937
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5938
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5939
#63360, #66349)
5940
5941
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5942
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5943
5944
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5945
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5946
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5947
5948
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5949
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5950
5951
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5952
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5953
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5954
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5955
5956
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5957
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5958
5959
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5960
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5961
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5962
5963
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5964
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5965
5966
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5967
5968
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5969
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5970
#32054)
5971
5972
TESTING:
5973
5974
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5975
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5976
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5977
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5978
5979
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5980
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5981
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5982
5983
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

--------------------
5985
5986
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

5989
-----------------------
5990
5991
BUG FIXES:
5992
5993
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5994
5995
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
5996
Arbash Meinel).
5997

bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5999
-----------------------
6000
6001
IMPROVEMENTS:
6002
6003
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6004
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6005
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6006
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6007
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6008
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6009
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6010
6011
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6012
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6013
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6014
6015
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6016
6017
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6018
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6019
6020
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6021
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6022
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6023
(Robert Collins)
6024
6025
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6026
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6027
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6028
(John Arbash Meinel)
6029
6030
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6031
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6032
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6033
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6034
Pool)
6035
6036
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6037
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6038
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6039
(John Arbash Meinel)
6040
6041
BUG FIXES:
6042
6043
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6044
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6045
6046
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6047
6048
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6049
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6050
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6051
6052
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6053
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6054
6055
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6056
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6057
6058
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6060
6061
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6062
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6063
6064
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6065
6066
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6067
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6068
6069
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6070
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6071
6072
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6073
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6074
6075
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6076
(John Arbash Meinel)
6077
6078
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6079
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6080
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6081
6082
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6083
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6084
6085
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6086
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6087
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6088
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6089
6090
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6091
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6092
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6093
6094
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6095
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6096
6097
PORTABILITY:
6098
6099
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6100
6101
INTERNALS:
6102
6103
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6104
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6105
(John Arbash Meinel)
6106
6107
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6108
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6109
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6110
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6111
6112
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6113
(Andrew Bennetts)
6114
6115
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6116
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6117
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6118
6119
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6120
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6121
6122
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6123
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6124
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6125
6126
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6127
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6128
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6129
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6130
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6131
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6132
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6133
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6134
caller to repeat their request.
6135
(John Arbash Meinel)
6136
6137
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6138
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6139
6140
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6141
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6142
6143
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6144
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6145
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6146
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6147
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6148
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6149
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6150
6151
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6152
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6153
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6154
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6155
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6156
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6157
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6158
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6159
(Robert Collins)
6160
6161
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6162
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6163
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6164
6165
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6166
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6167
6168
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6169
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6170
6171
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6172
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6173
6174
TESTING:
6175
6176
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6177
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6178
6179
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6180
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6181
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6182
6183
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6184
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6185
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6186
6187
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
6188
--------------------
6189
6190
IMPROVEMENTS:
6191
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6192
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6193
6194
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6195
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6196
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6197
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6198
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6199
6200
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6201
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6202
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6203
6204
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6205
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6206
6207
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6208
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6209
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6210
6211
BUG FIXES:
6212
6213
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6214
6215
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6216
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6217
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6218
6219
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6220
6221
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6222
6223
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6224
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6225
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6226
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6227
6228
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6229
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6230
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6231
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6232
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6233
6234
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6235
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6236
6237
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6238
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6239
6240
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6241
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6242
6243
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6244
in handling of revision properties.
6245
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6246
6247
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6248
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6249
6250
INTERNALS:
6251
6252
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6253
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6254
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6255
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6256
(John Arbash Meinel)
6257
6258
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6259
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6260
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6261
6262
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6263
---------------------
6264
6265
SURPRISES:
6266
6267
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6268
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6269
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6270
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6271
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6272
a more conservative list than the old default.
6273
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6274
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6275
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6276
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6277
6278
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6279
to more locations than just branch locations.
6280
(Aaron Bentley)
6281
6282
IMPROVEMENTS:
6283
6284
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6285
revno:N:branch. For example,
6286
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6287
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6288
6289
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6290
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6291
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6292
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6293
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6294
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6295
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6296
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6297
#42517, #42514)
6298
6299
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6300
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6301
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6302
(Malone #3507)
6303
6304
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6305
(Alexander Belchenko)
6306
6307
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6308
6309
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6310
(Robert Collins).
6311
6312
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6313
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6314
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6315
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6316
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6317
(John Arbash Meinel)
6318
6319
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6320
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6321
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6322
grained analysis of performance.
6323
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6324
6325
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6326
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6327
6328
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6329
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6330
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6331
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6332
file. (Robert Collins).
6333
6334
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6335
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6336
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6337
6338
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6339
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6340
Matthieu Moy)
6341
6342
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6343
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6344
6345
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6346
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6347
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6348
the same way you would apply another branch.
6349
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6350
6351
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6352
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6353
6354
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6355
(Michael Ellerman)
6356
6357
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6358
(Aaron Bentley)
6359
6360
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6361
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6362
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6363
6364
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6365
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6366
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6367
6368
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6369
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6370
6371
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6372
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6373
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6374
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6375
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6376
6377
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6378
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6379
6380
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6381
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6382
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6383
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6384
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6385
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6386
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6387
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6388
6389
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6390
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6391
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6392
6393
BUG FIXES:
6394
6395
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6396
tests not to run.
6397
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6398
6399
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6400
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6401
6402
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6403
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6404
6405
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6406
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6407
6408
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6409
6410
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6411
(John Arbash Meinel)
6412
6413
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6414
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6415
6416
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6417
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6418
and y.
6419
6420
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6421
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6422
6423
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6424
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6425
6426
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6427
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6428
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6429
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6430
6431
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6432
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6433
6434
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6435
6436
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6437
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6438
6439
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6440
6441
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6442
6443
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6444
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6445
6446
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6447
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6448
6449
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6450
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6451
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6452
6453
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6454
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6455
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6456
6457
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6458
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6459
6460
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6461
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6462
6463
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6464
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6465
6466
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6467
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6468
6469
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6470
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6471
6472
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6473
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6474
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6475
6476
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6477
6478
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6479
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6480
6481
INTERNALS:
6482
6483
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6484
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6485
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6486
6487
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6488
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6489
6490
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6491
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6492
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6493
6494
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6495
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6496
6497
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6498
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6499
(Martin Pool)
6500
6501
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6502
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6503
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6504
6505
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6506
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6507
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6508
6509
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6510
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6511
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6512
6513
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6514
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6515
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6516
6517
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6518
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6519
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6520
6521
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6522
instead. (Robert Collins)
6523
6524
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6539
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6540
6541
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6542
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6543
6544
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6545
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

6556
6557
CHANGES:
6558
6559
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6560
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6561
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6562
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6563
6564
NEW FEATURES:
6565
6566
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6567
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6568
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6569

INTERNALS:
6571
6572
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6575
6576
TESTING:

6581
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6582
-------------------
6583
6584
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6585
6586
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6587
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6588
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6589
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6590
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6591
will keep the same format.
6592
6593
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6594
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6595
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6596
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6597
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6598
6599
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6600
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6601
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6602
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6603
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6604
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6605
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6606
6607
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6608
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6609
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6610
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6611
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6612
6613
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6614
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6615
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6616
arrangement.
6617
6618
6619
IMPROVEMENTS:
6620
6621
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6622
convention. Paths now take the form::
6623
6624
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6625
or
6626
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6627
6628
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6629
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6630
6631
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6632
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6633
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6634
6635
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6636
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6637
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6638
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6639
6640
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6641
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6642
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6643
6644
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6645
6646
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6647
6648
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6649
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6650
commits::
6651
6652
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6653
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6654
| xargs bzr re-sign
6655
6656
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6657
6658
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6659
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6660
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6661
(Robert Collins)
6662
6663
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6664
6665
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6666
6667
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6668
'.moved'.
6669
6670
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6671
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6672
6673
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6674
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6675
Daniel Silverstone)
6676
6677
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6678
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6679
Martin Pool)
6680
6681
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6682
6683
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6684
6685
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6686
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6687
6688
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6689
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6690
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6691
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6692
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6693
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6694
6695
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6696
6697
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6698
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6699
(Robert Collins)
6700
6701
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6702
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6703
6704
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6705
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6706
6707
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6708
6709
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6710
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6711
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6712
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6713
specification by Martin Pool.
6714
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6715
6716
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6717
Belchenko)
6718
6719
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6720
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6721
6722
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6723
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6724
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6725
6726
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6727
6728
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6729
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6730
(Robert Collins)
6731
6732
CHANGES:
6733
6734
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6735
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6736
6737
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6738
6739
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6740
6741
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6742
(Olaf Conradi)
6743
6744
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6745
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6746
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6747
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6748
6749
INTERNALS:
6750
6751
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6752
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6753
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6754
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6755
6756
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6757
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6758
tried. (Martin Pool)
6759
6760
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6761
(Martin Pool)
6762
6763
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6764
6765
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6766
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6767
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6768
6769
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6770
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6771
6772
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6773
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6774
paths. (Robert Collins)
6775
6776
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6777
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6778
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6779
6780
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6781
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6782
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6783
6784
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6785
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6786
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6787
6788
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6789
(Olaf Conradi)
6790
6791
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6792
(Olaf Conradi)
6793
6794
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6795
6796
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6797
6798
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6799
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6800
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6801
(Robert Collins)
6802
6803
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6804
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6805
6806
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6807
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6808
check. (Robert Collins)
6809
6810
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6811
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6812
6813
TESTING:
6814
6815
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6816
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6817
6818
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6819
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6820
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6821
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6822
6823
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6824
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6825
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6826
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6827
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6828
6829
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6830
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6831
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6832
6833

6854
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6855
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6856
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6857
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6858
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)

6868
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6869
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6870
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6871
6872
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6873
ignore list.
6874
6875

* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the IETF draft spec.
27
Paths now take the form:

* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6920
76
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6921
77
requests.
6922

(Denys Duchier)
6934

6936
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6937
6938
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6939
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)

6942
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7018
144
If adding a new test script please add that to
7019
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7020
7021
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7022
imported. (Martin Pool)
7023
7024
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7025
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7026
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7027
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7028
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7029
(Robert Collins)
7030
7031
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7032
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7033
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7034
7035
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7036
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7037
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7038
7039
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7040
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7041
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7042
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7043
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7044
(Robert Collins).
7045

given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7069
165
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is

7076
172
7077
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7078
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7079
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7080
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7081
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7082
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
173
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
174
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
175
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree

(Michael Ellerman)
7115
7116
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7117
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7118
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7119
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7120
7121
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7122
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7123
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7124
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
