5
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
11
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
13
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
14
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
15
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
16
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
17
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
19
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
22
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
25
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
28
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
29
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
32
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
35
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
36
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
38
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
39
directory. (Martin Pool)
41
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
42
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
43
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
44
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
46
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
47
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
48
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
49
in docs/configuration.txt.
51
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
52
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
57
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
58
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
59
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
60
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
61
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
64
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
65
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
68
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
69
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
72
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
73
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
74
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
75
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
76
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
78
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
79
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
80
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
82
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
83
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
84
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
85
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
87
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
89
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
90
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
91
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
92
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
94
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
95
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
96
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
97
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
99
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
100
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
101
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
103
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry. log.register_formatter
104
continues to work, but callers accessed the FORMATTERS dictionary
107
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
108
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
109
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
113
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
114
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
115
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
117
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
120
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
121
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
122
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
123
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
125
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
126
password appears in the *_proxy vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
129
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
130
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
132
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
136
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
137
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
144
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
148
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
149
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
150
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
152
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
153
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
154
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
157
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
161
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
162
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
163
server, then you can write over the http connection.
164
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
166
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
169
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
170
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
171
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
173
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
174
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
176
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
179
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
180
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
181
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
182
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
183
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
184
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
186
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
187
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
188
should enable you to do::
191
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
192
push_location:policy = appendpath
194
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
195
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
198
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
199
for each file. For example::
207
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
208
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
210
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
212
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
213
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
215
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
219
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
220
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
221
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
222
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
224
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
225
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
226
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
228
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
230
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
231
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
232
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
233
(Alexander Belchenko)
235
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
238
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
239
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
241
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
245
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
246
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
248
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
249
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
250
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
251
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
252
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
254
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
255
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
257
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
258
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
260
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
262
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
264
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
265
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
266
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
267
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
268
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
270
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
271
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
272
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
273
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
275
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
276
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
278
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
279
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
281
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
282
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
284
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
285
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
290
No changes from 0.13rc1
292
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
296
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
300
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
301
operations are substantially faster.
302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
304
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
305
tree from some other url. For example:
306
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
309
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
310
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
311
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
312
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
314
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
317
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
318
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
319
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
320
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
321
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
322
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
326
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
327
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
330
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
331
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
334
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
335
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
336
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
339
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
340
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
342
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
343
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
348
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
349
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
352
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
353
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
354
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
355
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
357
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
359
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
360
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
362
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
363
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
364
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
367
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
368
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
369
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
371
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
372
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
373
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
376
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
377
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
379
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
381
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
382
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
384
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
385
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
387
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
388
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
389
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
390
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
392
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
393
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
394
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
396
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
397
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
399
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
400
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
401
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
402
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
403
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
407
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
408
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
414
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
415
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
418
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
422
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
423
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
424
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
425
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
427
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
428
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
430
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
432
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
433
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
434
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
435
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
437
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
438
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
439
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
440
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
445
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
446
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
450
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
451
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
452
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
454
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
455
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
458
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
459
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
460
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
462
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
463
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
466
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
467
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
468
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
470
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
471
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
472
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
473
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
474
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
475
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
477
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
478
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
479
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
482
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
483
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
487
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
488
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
489
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
492
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
493
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
495
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
496
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
497
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
499
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
500
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
502
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
503
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
504
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
505
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
507
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
508
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
510
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
511
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
512
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
514
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
515
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
517
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
519
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
520
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
525
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
526
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
527
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
528
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
530
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
531
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
532
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
536
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
538
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
542
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
544
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
547
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
551
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
552
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
553
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
554
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
555
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
556
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
557
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
559
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
560
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
561
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
563
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
565
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
566
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
568
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
569
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
570
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
573
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
574
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
575
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
578
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
579
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
580
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
581
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
584
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
585
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
586
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
591
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
592
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
594
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
596
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
597
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
598
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
600
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
601
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
603
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
604
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
606
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
609
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
610
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
612
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
614
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
615
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
617
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
618
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
620
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
621
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
623
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
626
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
627
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
628
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
630
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
631
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
633
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
634
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
635
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
636
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
638
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
639
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
640
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
642
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
643
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
647
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
651
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
652
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
655
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
656
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
657
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
658
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
660
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
663
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
664
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
665
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
667
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
668
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
670
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
671
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
672
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
674
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
675
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
676
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
677
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
678
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
679
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
680
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
681
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
684
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
685
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
687
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
688
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
690
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
691
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
692
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
693
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
694
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
695
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
696
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
698
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
699
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
700
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
701
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
702
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
703
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
704
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
705
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
708
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
709
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
710
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
712
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
713
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
715
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
716
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
718
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
719
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
723
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
724
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
726
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
727
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
730
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
731
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
732
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
737
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
738
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
740
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
741
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
742
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
743
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
744
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
746
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
747
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
748
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
750
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
751
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
753
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
754
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
755
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
759
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
761
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
762
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
763
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
765
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
767
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
769
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
770
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
771
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
772
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
774
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
775
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
776
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
777
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
778
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
780
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
781
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
783
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
784
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
786
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
787
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
789
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
790
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
793
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
794
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
798
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
799
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
800
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
801
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
804
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
805
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
806
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
812
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
813
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
814
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
815
specific one '.bzrignore'.
816
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
817
a more conservative list than the old default.
818
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
819
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
820
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
821
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
823
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
824
to more locations than just branch locations.
829
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
830
revno:N:branch. For example,
831
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
832
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
834
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
835
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
836
the path of a file that has been versioned.
837
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
838
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
839
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
840
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
841
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
844
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
845
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
846
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
849
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
850
(Alexander Belchenko)
852
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
854
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
857
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
858
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
859
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
860
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
861
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
864
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
865
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
866
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
867
grained analysis of performance.
868
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
870
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
871
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
873
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
874
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
875
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
876
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
877
file. (Robert Collins).
879
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
880
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
881
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
883
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
884
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
887
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
888
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
890
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
891
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
892
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
893
the same way you would apply another branch.
894
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
896
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
897
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
899
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
902
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
905
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
906
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
907
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
909
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
910
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
911
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
913
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
914
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
916
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
917
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
918
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
919
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
920
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
922
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
923
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
925
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
926
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
927
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
928
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
929
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
930
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
931
branch is as much as 4x faster.
932
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
934
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
935
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
936
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
940
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
941
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
944
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
945
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
947
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
948
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
950
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
951
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
953
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
955
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
958
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
959
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
961
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
962
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
965
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
966
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
968
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
969
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
971
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
972
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
973
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
974
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
976
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
977
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
979
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
981
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
982
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
984
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
986
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
988
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
989
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
991
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
992
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
994
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
995
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
996
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
998
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
999
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1000
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1002
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1003
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1005
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1006
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1008
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1009
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1011
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1012
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1014
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1015
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1017
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1018
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1019
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1021
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1023
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1024
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1028
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1029
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1030
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1032
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1033
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1035
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1036
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1037
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1039
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1040
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1042
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1043
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1046
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1047
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1048
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1050
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1051
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1052
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1054
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1055
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1056
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1058
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1059
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1060
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1062
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1063
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1064
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1066
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1067
instead. (Robert Collins)
1069
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1071
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1075
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1077
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1081
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1082
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1084
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1085
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1087
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1088
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1089
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1093
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1095
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1096
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1098
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1102
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1103
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1104
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1105
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1109
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1110
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1111
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1115
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1116
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1117
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1121
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1122
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1126
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1128
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1129
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1130
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1131
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1132
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1133
will keep the same format.
1135
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1136
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1137
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1138
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1139
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1141
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1142
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1143
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1144
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1145
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1146
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1147
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1149
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1150
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1151
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1152
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1153
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1155
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1156
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1157
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1163
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1164
convention. Paths now take the form:
1165
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1167
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1169
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1170
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1172
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1173
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1174
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1176
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1177
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1178
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1179
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1181
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1182
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1185
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1187
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1189
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1190
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
1191
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1192
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1195
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1197
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1198
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1199
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1202
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1204
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1206
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1209
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1210
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1212
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1213
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1216
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1217
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1220
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1222
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1224
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1225
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1227
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1228
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1229
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1230
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1231
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1232
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1234
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1236
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1237
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1240
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1241
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1243
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1244
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1246
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1248
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1249
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1250
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1251
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1252
specification by Martin Pool.
1253
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1255
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1258
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1259
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1261
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1262
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1263
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1265
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1267
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1268
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1273
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1274
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1276
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1278
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1280
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1283
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1284
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1285
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1286
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1290
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1291
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1292
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1293
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1295
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1296
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1297
tried. (Martin Pool)
1299
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1302
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1304
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1305
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1306
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1308
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1309
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1311
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1312
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1313
paths. (Robert Collins)
1315
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1316
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1317
needs. (Robert Collins)
1319
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1320
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1321
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1323
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1324
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1326
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1329
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1332
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1334
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1336
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1337
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1338
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1341
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1342
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1344
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1345
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1346
check. (Robert Collins)
1348
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1349
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1353
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1354
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1356
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1357
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1358
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1359
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1361
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1362
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1363
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1364
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1365
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1367
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1368
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1369
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1371
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1373
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1374
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1380
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1381
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1383
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1384
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1385
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1388
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1389
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1391
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1392
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1393
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1394
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1395
(John Arbash Meinel)
1397
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1398
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1399
used. (Robert Collins)
1401
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1402
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1405
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1406
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1407
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1409
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1412
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1413
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1417
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1418
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1420
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1422
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1424
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1425
tree. (Robert Collins)
1427
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1428
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1429
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1432
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1435
* Tweaks to short log printing
1437
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1440
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1441
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1443
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1444
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1446
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1447
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1449
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1450
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1451
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1453
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1454
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1456
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1457
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1460
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1461
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1463
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1464
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1466
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1467
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1469
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1472
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1473
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1475
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1476
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1478
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1479
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1480
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1484
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1486
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1488
* Error when run with -OO
1490
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1493
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1495
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1497
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1498
ignored by diff and status
1500
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1501
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1503
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1505
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1507
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1508
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1510
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1511
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1513
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1516
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1517
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1519
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1521
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1522
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1524
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1527
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1530
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1534
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1535
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1537
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1539
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1541
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1543
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1544
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1545
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1547
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1549
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1550
(John Arbash Meinel)
1552
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1554
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1555
If adding a new test script please add that to
1556
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1558
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1559
imported. (Martin Pool)
1561
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1562
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1563
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1564
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1565
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1568
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1569
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1570
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1572
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1573
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1574
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1576
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1577
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1578
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1579
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1580
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1583
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1584
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1589
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1590
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1592
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1593
function. (Robert Collins)
1595
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1596
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1597
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1599
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1600
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1602
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1603
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1604
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1605
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1606
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1607
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1608
version. (Robert Collins)
1610
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1611
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1613
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1614
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1615
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1616
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1617
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1618
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1620
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1623
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1631
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1633
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1635
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1638
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1639
query method. (Robert Collins)
1641
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1644
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1647
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1651
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1652
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1653
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1654
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1656
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1657
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1658
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1659
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1661
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1662
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1668
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1671
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1675
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1676
a separator, not ':'.
1679
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1680
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1681
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1683
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1684
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1687
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1688
has been added that suppresses all output.
1690
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1693
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1694
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1696
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1697
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1699
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1700
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1702
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1703
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1704
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1705
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1707
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1709
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1710
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1712
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1713
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1715
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1716
output directory, if one was supplied.
1718
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1719
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1720
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1721
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1723
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1725
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1726
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1728
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1729
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1730
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1732
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1733
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1735
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1738
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1740
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1744
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1745
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1746
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1748
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1749
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1750
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1752
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1753
is given. (Martin Pool)
1755
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1756
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1757
file. (Robert Collins)
1759
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1764
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1765
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1766
representation. (Martin Pool).
1768
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1769
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1770
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1772
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1775
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1776
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1779
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1780
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1781
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1782
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1783
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1785
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1786
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1787
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1788
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1789
python path. (Robert Collins)
1791
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1792
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1793
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1794
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1796
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1797
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1799
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1800
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1803
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1804
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1805
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1807
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1808
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1809
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1811
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1812
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1814
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1815
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1816
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1819
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1820
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1821
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1822
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1825
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1828
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1829
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1832
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1833
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1834
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1836
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1837
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1838
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1840
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1841
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1842
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1844
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1845
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1847
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1848
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1849
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1850
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1851
caller. (Robert Collins)
1853
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1854
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1857
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1858
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1860
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1862
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1863
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1867
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1868
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1870
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1871
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1874
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1878
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1879
allow directories to be listed.
1881
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1882
upgrading branch format.
1886
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1893
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1894
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1895
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1896
high-latency connections.
