* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
9
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
10
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
11
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
12
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
13
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
14
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
15
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
16
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
17
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
18
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
19
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
23
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
24
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
26
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
27
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
28
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
29
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
31
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
32
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
33
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
34
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
35
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
37
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
40
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
43
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
46
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
47
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
50
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
53
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
54
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
56
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
57
directory. (Martin Pool)
59
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
60
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
61
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
62
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
64
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
65
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
66
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
67
in docs/configuration.txt.
69
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
70
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
75
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
76
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
77
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
78
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
79
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
82
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
83
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
86
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
87
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
90
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
91
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
92
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
93
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
94
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
96
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
97
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
98
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
100
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
101
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
102
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
103
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
105
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
107
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
108
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
109
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
110
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
112
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
113
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
114
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
115
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
117
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
118
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
119
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
121
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry. log.register_formatter
122
continues to work, but callers accessed the FORMATTERS dictionary
125
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
126
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
127
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
131
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
132
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
133
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
135
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
138
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
139
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
140
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
141
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
143
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
144
password appears in the *_proxy vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
147
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
148
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
150
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
154
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
155
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
162
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
166
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
167
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
168
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
170
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
171
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
172
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
175
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
179
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
180
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
181
server, then you can write over the http connection.
182
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
184
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
187
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
188
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
189
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
191
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
192
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
194
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
197
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
198
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
199
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
200
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
201
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
202
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
204
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
205
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
206
should enable you to do::
209
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
210
push_location:policy = appendpath
212
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
213
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
216
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
217
for each file. For example::
225
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
226
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
228
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
230
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
231
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
233
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
237
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
238
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
239
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
240
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
242
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
243
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
244
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
246
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
248
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
249
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
250
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
251
(Alexander Belchenko)
253
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
256
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
257
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
259
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
263
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
264
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
266
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
267
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
268
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
269
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
270
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
272
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
273
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
275
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
276
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
278
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
280
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
282
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
283
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
284
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
285
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
286
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
288
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
289
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
290
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
291
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
293
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
294
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
296
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
297
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
299
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
300
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
302
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
303
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
308
No changes from 0.13rc1
310
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
314
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
318
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
319
operations are substantially faster.
320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
322
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
323
tree from some other url. For example:
324
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
327
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
328
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
329
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
330
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
332
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
335
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
336
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
337
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
338
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
339
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
340
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
344
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
345
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
348
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
349
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
352
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
353
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
354
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
357
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
358
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
360
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
361
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
366
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
367
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
370
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
371
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
372
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
373
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
375
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
377
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
378
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
380
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
381
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
382
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
383
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
385
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
386
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
387
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
389
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
390
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
391
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
394
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
395
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
397
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
399
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
400
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
402
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
403
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
405
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
406
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
407
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
408
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
410
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
411
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
412
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
414
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
415
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
417
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
418
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
419
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
420
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
421
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
425
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
426
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
432
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
433
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
436
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
440
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
441
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
442
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
443
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
445
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
446
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
448
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
450
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
451
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
452
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
453
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
455
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
456
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
457
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
458
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
463
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
464
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
468
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
469
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
470
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
472
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
473
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
476
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
477
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
478
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
480
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
481
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
484
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
485
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
486
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
488
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
489
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
490
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
491
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
492
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
493
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
495
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
496
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
497
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
500
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
501
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
505
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
506
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
507
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
510
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
511
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
513
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
514
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
515
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
517
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
518
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
520
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
521
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
522
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
523
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
525
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
526
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
528
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
529
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
530
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
532
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
533
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
535
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
537
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
538
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
543
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
544
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
545
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
546
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
548
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
549
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
550
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
554
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
556
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
560
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
562
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
565
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
569
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
570
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
571
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
572
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
573
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
574
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
575
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
577
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
578
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
579
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
581
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
583
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
584
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
586
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
587
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
588
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
591
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
592
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
593
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
596
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
597
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
598
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
599
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
602
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
603
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
604
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
609
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
610
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
612
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
614
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
615
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
616
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
618
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
619
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
621
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
622
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
624
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
627
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
628
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
630
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
632
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
633
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
635
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
636
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
638
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
639
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
641
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
644
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
645
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
646
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
648
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
649
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
651
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
652
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
653
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
654
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
656
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
657
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
658
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
660
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
661
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
665
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
669
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
670
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
673
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
674
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
675
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
676
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
678
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
681
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
682
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
683
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
685
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
686
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
688
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
689
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
690
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
692
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
693
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
694
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
695
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
696
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
697
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
698
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
699
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
702
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
703
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
705
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
706
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
708
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
709
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
710
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
711
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
712
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
713
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
714
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
716
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
717
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
718
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
719
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
720
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
721
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
722
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
723
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
726
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
727
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
728
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
730
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
731
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
733
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
734
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
736
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
737
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
741
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
742
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
744
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
745
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
748
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
749
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
750
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
755
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
756
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
758
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
759
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
760
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
761
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
762
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
764
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
765
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
766
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
768
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
769
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
771
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
772
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
773
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
777
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
779
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
780
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
781
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
783
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
785
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
787
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
788
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
789
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
790
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
792
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
793
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
794
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
795
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
796
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
798
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
799
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
801
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
802
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
804
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
805
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
807
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
808
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
811
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
812
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
816
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
817
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
818
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
819
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
822
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
823
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
824
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
830
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
831
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
832
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
833
specific one '.bzrignore'.
834
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
835
a more conservative list than the old default.
836
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
837
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
838
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
839
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
841
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
842
to more locations than just branch locations.
847
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
848
revno:N:branch. For example,
849
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
850
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
852
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
853
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
854
the path of a file that has been versioned.
855
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
856
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
857
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
858
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
859
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
862
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
863
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
864
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
867
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
868
(Alexander Belchenko)
870
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
872
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
875
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
876
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
877
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
878
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
879
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
882
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
883
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
884
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
885
grained analysis of performance.
886
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
888
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
889
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
891
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
892
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
893
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
894
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
895
file. (Robert Collins).
897
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
898
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
899
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
901
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
902
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
905
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
906
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
908
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
909
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
910
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
911
the same way you would apply another branch.
912
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
914
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
915
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
917
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
920
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
923
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
924
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
925
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
927
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
928
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
929
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
931
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
932
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
934
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
935
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
936
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
937
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
938
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
940
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
941
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
943
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
944
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
945
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
946
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
947
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
948
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
949
branch is as much as 4x faster.
950
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
952
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
953
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
954
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
958
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
959
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
962
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
963
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
965
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
966
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
968
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
969
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
971
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
973
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
976
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
977
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
979
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
980
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
983
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
984
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
986
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
987
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
989
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
990
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
991
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
992
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
994
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
995
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
997
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
999
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1000
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1002
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1004
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1006
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1007
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1009
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1010
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1012
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1013
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1014
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1016
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1017
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1018
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1020
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1021
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1023
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1024
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1026
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1027
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1029
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1030
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1032
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1033
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1035
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1036
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1037
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1039
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1041
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1042
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1046
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1047
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1048
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1050
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1051
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1053
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1054
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1055
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1057
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1058
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1060
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1061
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1064
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1065
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1066
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1068
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1069
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1070
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1072
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1073
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1074
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1076
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1077
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1078
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1080
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1081
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1082
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1084
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1085
instead. (Robert Collins)
1087
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1089
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1093
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1095
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1099
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1100
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1102
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1103
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1105
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1106
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1107
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1111
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1113
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1114
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1116
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1120
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1121
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1122
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1123
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1127
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1128
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1129
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1133
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1134
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1135
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1139
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1140
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1144
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1146
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1147
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1148
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1149
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1150
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1151
will keep the same format.
1153
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1154
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1155
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1156
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1157
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1159
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1160
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1161
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1162
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1163
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1164
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1165
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1167
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1168
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1169
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1170
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1171
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1173
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1174
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1175
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1181
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1182
convention. Paths now take the form:
1183
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1185
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1187
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1188
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1190
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1191
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1192
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1194
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1195
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1196
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1197
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1199
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1200
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1203
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1205
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1207
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1208
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
1209
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1210
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1213
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1215
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1216
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1217
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1220
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1222
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1224
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1227
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1228
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1230
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1231
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1234
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1235
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1238
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1240
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1242
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1243
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1245
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1246
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1247
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1248
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1249
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1250
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1252
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1254
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1255
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1258
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1259
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1261
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1262
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1264
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1266
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1267
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1268
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1269
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1270
specification by Martin Pool.
1271
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1273
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1276
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1277
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1279
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1280
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1281
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1283
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1285
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1286
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1291
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1292
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1294
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1296
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1298
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1301
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1302
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1303
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1304
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1308
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1309
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1310
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1311
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1313
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1314
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1315
tried. (Martin Pool)
1317
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1320
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1322
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1323
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1324
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1326
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1327
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1329
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1330
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1331
paths. (Robert Collins)
1333
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1334
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1335
needs. (Robert Collins)
1337
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1338
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1339
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1341
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1342
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1344
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1347
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1350
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1352
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1354
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1355
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1356
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1359
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1360
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1362
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1363
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1364
check. (Robert Collins)
1366
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1367
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1371
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1372
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1374
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1375
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1376
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1377
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1379
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1380
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1381
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1382
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1383
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1385
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1386
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1387
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1389
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1391
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1392
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1398
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1399
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1401
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1402
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1403
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1406
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1407
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1409
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1410
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1411
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1412
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1413
(John Arbash Meinel)
1415
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1416
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1417
used. (Robert Collins)
1419
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1420
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1423
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1424
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1425
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1427
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1430
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1431
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1435
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1436
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1438
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1440
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1442
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1443
tree. (Robert Collins)
1445
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1446
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1447
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1450
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1453
* Tweaks to short log printing
1455
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1458
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1459
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1461
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1462
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1464
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1465
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1467
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1468
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1469
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1471
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1472
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1474
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1475
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1478
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1479
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1481
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1482
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1484
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1485
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1487
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1490
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1491
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1493
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1494
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1496
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1497
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1498
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1502
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1504
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1506
* Error when run with -OO
1508
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1511
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1513
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1515
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1516
ignored by diff and status
1518
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1519
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1521
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1523
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1525
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1526
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1528
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1529
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1531
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1534
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1535
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1537
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1539
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1540
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1542
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1545
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1548
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1552
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1553
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1555
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1557
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1559
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1561
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1562
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1563
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1565
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1567
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1568
(John Arbash Meinel)
1570
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1572
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1573
If adding a new test script please add that to
1574
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1576
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1577
imported. (Martin Pool)
1579
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1580
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1581
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1582
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1583
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1586
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1587
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1588
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1590
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1591
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1592
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1594
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1595
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1596
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1597
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1598
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1601
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1602
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1607
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1608
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1610
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1611
function. (Robert Collins)
1613
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1614
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1615
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1617
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1618
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1620
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1621
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1622
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1623
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1624
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1625
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1626
version. (Robert Collins)
1628
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1629
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1631
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1632
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1633
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1634
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1635
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1636
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1638
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1641
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1649
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1651
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1653
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1656
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1657
query method. (Robert Collins)
1659
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1662
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1665
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1669
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1670
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1671
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1672
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1674
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1675
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1676
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1677
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1679
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1680
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1686
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1689
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1693
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1694
a separator, not ':'.
1697
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1698
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1699
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1701
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1702
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1705
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1706
has been added that suppresses all output.
1708
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1711
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1712
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1714
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1715
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1717
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1718
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1720
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1721
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1722
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1723
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1725
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1727
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1728
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1730
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1731
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1733
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1734
output directory, if one was supplied.
1736
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1737
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1738
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1739
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1741
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1743
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1744
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1746
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1747
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1748
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1750
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1751
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1753
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1756
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1758
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1762
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1763
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1764
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1766
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1767
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1768
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1770
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1771
is given. (Martin Pool)
1773
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1774
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1775
file. (Robert Collins)
1777
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1782
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1783
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1784
representation. (Martin Pool).
1786
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1787
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1788
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1790
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1793
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1794
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1797
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1798
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1799
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1800
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1801
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1803
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1804
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1805
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1806
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1807
python path. (Robert Collins)
1809
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1810
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1811
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1812
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1814
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1815
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1817
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1818
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1821
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1822
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1823
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1825
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1826
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1827
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1829
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1830
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1832
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1833
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1834
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1837
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1838
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1839
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1840
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1843
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1846
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1847
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1850
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1851
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1852
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1854
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1855
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1856
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1858
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1859
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1860
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1862
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1863
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1865
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1866
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1867
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1868
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1869
caller. (Robert Collins)
1871
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1872
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1875
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1876
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1878
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1880
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1881
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1885
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1886
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1888
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1889
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1892
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1896
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1897
allow directories to be listed.
1899
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1900
upgrading branch format.
1904
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1911
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1912
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1913
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1914
high-latency connections.
