.. contents:: List of Releases
18
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
19
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
20
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
25
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
26
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
27
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
28
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
29
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
30
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
31
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
33
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
34
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
35
(Robert Collins, #416732)
37
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
38
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
40
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
41
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
43
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
44
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
45
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
46
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
47
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
48
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
49
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
51
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
52
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
54
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
55
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
56
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
57
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
58
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
59
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
61
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
62
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
64
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
65
repository, such as revisions without inventories or inventories without
66
chk_bytes root records.
67
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506)
75
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
76
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
81
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
82
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
87
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
88
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
89
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
92
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
93
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
99
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
100
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
102
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
103
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
104
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
107
bzr 2.0rc2 (not released yet)

123
(Robert Collins, #416732)
125
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
126
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
128
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
129
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
130
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)

147
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but

good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
150
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
151
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
152
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
154
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
155
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
156
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
158
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
159
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
160
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
162
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
163
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
165
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
166
repository, such as revisions without inventories or inventories without
167
chk_bytes root records.
168
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506)
173
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
174
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
176
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
177
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
184
:Codename: no worries
187
This release of Bazaar makes 2a 'brisbane-core' format the
188
default. Most of the work in this release now focuses on bug
189
fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and previous formats.
191
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported
192
release, with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at
193
least six months or until the following stable release (we said
194
that previously, but that's worth repeating).
199
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
200
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
201
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
202
into ``rich-root`` repositories from ``2a``. The Upgrade guide
203
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
205
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
206
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
207
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
208
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
213
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
214
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
219
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
220
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
222
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
223
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
224
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
225
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
226
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
228
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
229
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
230
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
232
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
233
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
235
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
236
(Martin Pool, #286871)
238
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
239
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
240
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
242
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
243
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
244
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
245
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
250
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
251
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
252
(Martin Pool, #409137)
254
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
255
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
256
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
257
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
259
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
261
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
262
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
264
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
265
(Robert Collins, #305006)
267
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
268
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
269
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
271
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
272
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
273
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
274
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
275
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
276
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
281
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
287
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
288
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
289
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
294
bzr 1.18.1 NOT RELEASED YET
295
###########################
300
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
301
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
302
(Martin Pool, #415508)
307
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
308
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
310
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
311
(Robert Collins, #305006)
316
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
317
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
318
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
320
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
321
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
322
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
324
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
325
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
326
should be used. (Robert Collins)
334
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
335
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
336
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
337
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
338
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
346
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
347
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
348
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
349
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
350
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
352
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
355
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
356
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
358
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
359
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
361
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
362
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
363
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
364
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
366
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
367
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
368
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
370
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
371
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
373
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
374
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
375
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
376
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
381
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
382
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
383
(Martin Pool, #409137)
385
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
386
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
387
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
388
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
389
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
391
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
392
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
393
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
405
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
406
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
407
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
408
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
409
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
410
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
412
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
413
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
414
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
415
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
417
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
418
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
419
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
420
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
423
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
424
protocols. (Robert Collins)
426
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
427
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
428
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
429
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
435
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
436
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)
442
:Codename: little traveller
446
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
447
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
448
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
449
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
450
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
451
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
453
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
454
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
455
or until the following stable release.
457
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
462
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
463
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
465
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
466
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
467
(Martin Pool, #391411)
472
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
473
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
474
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
476
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
477
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
478
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
479
(Martin Pool, #123688)
481
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
482
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
483
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
484
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
486
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
487
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
489
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
490
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
491
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
492
(Robert Collins, #282402)
494
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
495
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
497
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
498
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
500
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
501
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
502
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
503
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
504
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
506
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
507
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
508
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
510
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
511
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
512
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
513
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
514
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
516
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
517
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
519
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
520
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
521
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
523
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
524
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
525
(Martin Pool, #408201)
527
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
528
(Martin Pool, #403523)
530
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
531
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
532
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
534
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
535
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
537
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
538
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
540
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
541
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
543
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
544
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
545
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
547
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
548
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
549
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
551
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
553
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
554
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
556
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
557
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
558
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
559
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
560
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
561
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
563
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
564
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
565
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
567
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
568
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
569
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
570
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
572
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
573
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
574
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
575
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
576
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
578
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
579
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
580
(Robert Collins, #187207)
585
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
588
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
589
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
590
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
591
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
593
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
594
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
600
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
605
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
606
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
607
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
608
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
609
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
610
passwords. (Martin Pool)
612
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
615
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
618
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
622
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
623
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
628
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
629
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
630
paths. (Robert Collins)
632
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
633
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
635
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
636
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
637
disk. (Robert Collins)
639
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
642
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
643
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
644
(Alexander Belchenko)
650
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
651
(Martin Pool, #409684)
653
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
654
(Martin Pool, #408199)
656
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
657
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
658
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
659
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
660
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
661
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
664
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
665
#######################
670
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
671
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
672
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

682
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
683
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
686
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
687
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
688
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
689
annoying progress bar artifacts.
692
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
693
*********************************
695
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
696
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
697
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
699
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
700
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
701
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
703
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
704
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
710
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
711
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
712
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
713
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
719
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
720
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
721
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
722
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
724
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
725
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
726
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
728
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
729
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
730
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
732
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
734
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
735
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
736
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
737
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
743
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
744
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
746
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
747
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
748
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
749
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
751
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
752
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
754
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
755
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
756
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
758
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
759
(Martin Pool, #321935)
761
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
762
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
764
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
765
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
767
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
768
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
769
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
771
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
774
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
775
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
777
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
778
of a remote repository.
779
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
781
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
782
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
785
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
787
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
789
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
790
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
792
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
793
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
795
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
796
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
797
(Martin Pool, #339385)
799
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
800
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
801
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
802
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
805
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
806
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
807
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
809
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
810
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
811
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
812
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
813
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
814
(Robert Collins, #376243)
816
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
817
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
818
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
819
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
820
activity display respectively.
821
(Martin Pool, #340347)
823
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
824
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
826
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
829
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
830
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
836
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
837
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
838
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
839
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
841
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
842
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
843
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
844
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
847
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
848
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
850
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
851
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
852
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
853
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
854
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
855
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
857
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
858
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
859
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
860
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
862
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
863
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
864
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
868
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
869
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
870
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
871
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
877
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
878
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
879
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
880
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
882
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
883
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
884
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
886
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
889
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
890
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
892
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
893
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
894
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
896
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
897
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
898
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
899
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
901
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
907
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
908
formatting in the user reference.
909
(Martin Pool, #249908)
911
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
917
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
920
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
921
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
922
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

#####################
928
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
929
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
930
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
933
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
934
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
935
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
937
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
938
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
943
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
944
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
946
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
947
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
948
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
950
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
951
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
952
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
953
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
954
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
955
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
956
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
958
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
959
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
960
converted data. (Robert Collins)
962
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
963
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
964
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
966
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
967
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
968
that. (Robert Collins)
970
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
971
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
972
repository. (Robert Collins)
974
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
975
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
976
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
977
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

##################################################

:Codename: yesterday-in-california
987
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
988
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
989
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
990
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
992
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
993
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
994
bug fixes and improvements.
997
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
998
*********************************
1000
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1001
2a can work correctly.
1002
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1004
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1005
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1006
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1009
Compatibility Breaks
1010
********************
1012
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1013
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1020
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1021
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1022
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1023
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1024
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1025
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1028
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1029
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1030
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1031
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1033
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1034
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1036
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1037
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1039
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1040
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1041
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1043
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1044
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1050
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1051
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1052
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1054
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1055
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1056
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1057
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1058
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1060
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1061
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1062
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1063
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1065
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1066
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1072
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1073
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1074
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1075
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1081
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1082
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1084
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1085
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1087
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1088
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1089
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1091
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1092
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1094
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1095
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1096
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1098
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1099
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1100
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1101
(John Arbash Meinel)
1103
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1104
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1106
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1107
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1109
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1110
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1112
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1113
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1114
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1115
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1116
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1117
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1119
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1121
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1122
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1124
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1125
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1127
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1128
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1129
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1130
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1131
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1133
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1134
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1135
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1136
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1141
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1142
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1143
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1148
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1150
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1151
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1152
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1154
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1155
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1156
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1158
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1159
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1161
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1162
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1167
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1168
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1173
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
1174
(Martin Pool, #386180)
1176
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1178
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)

The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1190
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1191
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1192
revisions introduce the exact same line.

*********************************
1203
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1204
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1205
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1206
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Compatibility Breaks
1214
********************
1216
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1217
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1218
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1219
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1224
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1225
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1228
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1229
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1230
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1231
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1233
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1234
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1235
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1236
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1238
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1239
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1242
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1243
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1244
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1249
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1250
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1252
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1253
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1255
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1256
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1257
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1259
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1264
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1265
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1267
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1269
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1270
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1272
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1273
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1275
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1276
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1278
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1279
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1280
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1281
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1283
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1286
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1287
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1289
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1290
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1292
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1293
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1295
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1296
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1298
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1301
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1302
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1304
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1305
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1306
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1307
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1308
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1309
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1310
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1311
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1312
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1313
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1314
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1315
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1316
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1317
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1319
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1320
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1321
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1323
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1324
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1332
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1333
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1334
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1336
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1337
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1338
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1339
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1340
(Alexander Belchenko)
1345
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1346
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1347
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1349
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1350
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1353
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1354
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1355
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1356
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1357
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1359
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1360
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1361
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1363
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1364
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1365
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1366
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1368
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1369
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1370
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1372
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1373
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1375
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1376
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1377
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1378
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1380
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1381
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1382
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1384
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1385
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1387
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1388
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1389
branches. (Robert Collins)
1391
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1392
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1394
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1399
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1400
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
1451
********************
1453
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
1454
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
1455
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
1456
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
1457
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1459
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1460
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1461
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1463
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1464
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1465
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1466
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1467
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1472
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1473
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1474
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1475
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1476
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1479
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1482
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1483
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1485
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1486
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1487
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1488
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1489
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1491
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1492
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1494
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1497
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1498
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1499
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1500
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1503
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1504
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1505
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1506
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1507
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1509
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1510
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1513
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1519
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1520
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1521
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1523
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1524
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1525
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1526
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1527
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1529
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1530
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1533
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1534
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1535
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1537
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1540
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1543
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1544
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1546
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1547
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1549
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1550
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1552
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1553
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1556
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1557
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1558
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1560
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1561
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1562
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1565
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1566
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1567
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1568
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1570
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1571
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1572
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1573
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1574
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1575
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1576
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1577
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1578
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1580
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1586
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1587
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1588
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1589
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1590
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1591
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1592
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1594
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1595
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1597
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1598
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1599
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1600
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1602
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1603
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1605
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1607
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1610
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1611
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1612
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1614
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1615
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1617
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1618
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1620
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1621
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1622
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1624
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1625
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1626
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1627
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1629
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1631
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1634
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1635
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1636
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1637
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1638
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1640
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1641
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1642
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1643
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1644
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1645
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1646
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1648
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1649
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1651
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1652
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1655
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1656
(James Westby, #341558)
1658
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1659
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1661
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1662
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1667
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1669
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1671
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1672
(James Westby, #336998)
1677
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1680
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1681
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1684
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1685
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1688
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1689
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1690
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1692
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1693
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1694
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1696
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1697
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1698
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1699
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1702
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1703
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1706
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1709
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1710
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1712
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1713
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1714
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1715
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1717
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1718
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1719
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1724
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1725
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1726
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1727
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1728
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1730
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1733
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1734
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1735
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1736
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1742
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1743
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1745
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1746
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1748
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1749
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1750
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1752
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1753
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1754
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1755
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1757
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1758
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1759
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1760
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1762
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1763
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1764
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1766
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1767
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1768
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1770
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1771
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1772
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1774
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1775
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1778
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1779
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1780
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1782
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1783
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1785
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1786
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1787
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1789
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1790
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1793
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1794
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1795
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1797
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1798
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1799
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1800
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1801
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1803
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1804
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1805
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1806
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1808
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1809
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1810
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1811
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1813
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1814
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1815
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1817
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1818
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1821
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1822
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1823
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1825
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1826
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1827
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1828
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1829
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1831
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1832
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1833
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1836
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1837
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1838
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1839
desired. (Robert Collins)
1841
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1842
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1843
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1844
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1846
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1847
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1848
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1865
*****************************
1867
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1868
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1869
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1870
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1871
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1872
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1878
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1879
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1880
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1882
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1883
********************************
1885
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1886
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1887
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1892
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1893
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1895
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1896
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1898
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1899
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1901
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1903
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1904
*********************************
1906
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1907
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1908
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1910
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1911
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1913
Compatibility Breaks
1914
********************
1916
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1917
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1918
command may need to be adjusted.
1919
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1924
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1925
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1926
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1928
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1931
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1932
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1933
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1936
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1937
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1939
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1940
(John Arbash Meinel)
1942
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1943
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1945
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1947
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1948
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1951
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1957
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1958
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1959
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1960
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1961
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1962
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1963
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1964
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1967
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1968
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1970
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1971
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1972
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1974
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1975
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1977
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1978
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1979
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1982
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1983
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1984
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1986
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1987
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1988
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1989
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1991
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1994
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1995
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1997
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1998
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2000
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2001
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2002
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2004
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2009
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2010
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2012
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2013
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2014
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2016
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2017
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2020
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2021
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2023
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2024
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2027
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2028
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2029
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2031
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2032
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2034
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2035
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2037
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2038
(James Westby, #174539)
2040
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2041
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2043
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2044
error branching from old repositories.
2045
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2047
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2048
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2050
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2051
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2052
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2053
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2055
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2056
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2059
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2060
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2062
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2063
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2065
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2066
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2067
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2069
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2070
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2072
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2073
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2078
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2079
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2080
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2083
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2084
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2086
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2087
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2092
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2093
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2094
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2095
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2096
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2098
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2099
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2101
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2102
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2103
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2104
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2105
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2106
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2108
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2109
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2111
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2112
"author" argument being deprecated.
2114
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2116
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2117
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2118
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2119
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2121
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2122
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2123
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2125
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2126
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2127
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2129
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2130
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2132
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2133
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2134
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2135
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2140
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2141
free of virtual file system methods.
2142
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2144
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2145
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2146
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2148
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2149
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2150
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2151
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2152
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2153
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2155
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2157
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2158
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2160
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2161
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2162
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2163
stream the operation.
2164
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2166
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2167
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2169
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2170
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2171
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2172
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2173
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2175
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2176
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2178
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2179
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2180
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2182
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2183
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2186
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2189
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2190
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2191
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2193
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2194
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2195
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2197
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2198
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2199
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2201
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2202
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2203
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2205
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2206
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2207
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2208
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2209
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2211
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2212
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2213
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2214
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2215
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2216
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2218
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2219
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2220
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2221
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2222
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2224
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2225
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2227
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2228
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2230
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2231
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2232
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2233
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2234
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2236
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2237
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
2248
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2249
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2250
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2251
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2252
by showing the rate of network IO.

Changes from RC1 to Final
2255
*************************
2257
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2258
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2260
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2261
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2263
Compatibility Breaks
2264
********************
2266
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2267
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2268
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2269
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2271
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2272
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2273
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2276
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2277
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2278
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2279
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2281
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2282
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2283
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2286
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2291
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2292
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2293
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2296
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2297
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2298
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2300
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2301
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2302
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2303
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2304
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2305
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2306
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2307
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2308
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2314
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2317
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2320
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2321
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2322
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2324
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2325
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2326
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2327
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2328
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2330
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2331
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2333
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2334
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2335
level for better precision.
2338
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2339
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2341
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2342
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2343
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2345
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2346
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2347
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2350
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2351
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2352
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2357
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2359
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2361
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2362
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2363
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2365
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2366
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2367
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2368
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2369
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2370
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2372
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2373
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2375
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2376
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2378
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2379
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2380
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2382
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2383
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2384
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2387
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2388
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2390
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2391
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2392
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2393
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2395
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2396
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2398
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2400
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2405
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2410
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2411
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2414
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2415
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2417
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2418
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2420
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2421
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2423
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2424
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2425
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2426
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2428
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2429
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2430
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2435
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2436
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2437
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2438
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2439
compile buffers, are such an example).
2442
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2443
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2446
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2447
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2448
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2451
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2452
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2454
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2455
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
2462
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2463
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2464
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2465
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2466
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2468
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2469
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2472
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2473
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2478
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2481
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
2487
#################################
2492
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2493
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2498
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2499
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2501
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2502
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2503
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2504
implement other plugins.
2507
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2513
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2514
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2516
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2517
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2519
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2520
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2521
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2522
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2525
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2526
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2527
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2528
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2529
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2531
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2532
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2533
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2534
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2535
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2540
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2541
control directory. (#139691)
2543
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2544
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2546
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2547
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2549
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2550
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2551
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2553
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2554
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2556
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2557
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2558
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2560
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2561
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2563
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2566
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2567
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2568
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2570
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2571
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2573
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2574
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2575
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2577
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2578
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2579
in the appropriate sections.
2580
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2582
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2583
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2584
(John Arbash meinel)
2586
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2589
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2592
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2593
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2595
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2596
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2597
work better with how it splits its requests.
2598
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2600
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2601
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2602
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2604
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2607
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2609
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2612
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2618
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2619
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2620
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2626
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2627
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2628
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2629
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2631
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2632
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2634
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2635
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2636
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2637
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2639
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2640
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2641
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2642
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2647
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2648
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2649
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2651
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2652
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2653
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2654
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2656
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2657
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2658
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2664
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2665
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2666
(John Arbash Meinel)
2668
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2669
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2670
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2671
(John Arbash Meinel)
2673
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2674
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2675
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2676
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2678
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2679
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2680
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2682
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2683
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2684
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2685
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2687
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2688
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2689
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2690
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2691
(John Arbash Meinel)
2693
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2694
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2696
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2697
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2698
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2700
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2701
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2702
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2703
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2705
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2706
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2707
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2708
(John Arbash Meinel)
2710
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2711
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2712
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2713
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2714
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2715
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2716
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2718
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2719
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2726
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2727
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2728
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2729
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2732
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2737
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2738
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2739
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2740
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2742
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2743
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2744
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2745
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2746
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2749

######################
2752
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2753
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2754
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2755
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2756
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2761
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2762
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2764
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2770
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2771
history just to set the last revision info.
2772
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2774
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2775
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2776
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2777
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2779
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2780
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2781
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2782
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2783
(John Arbash Meinel)
2785
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2786
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2788
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2789
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2790
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2791
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2792
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2794
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2795
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2796
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2797
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2802
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2803
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2805
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2806
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2808
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2809
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2810
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2811
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2813
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2814
starting with a dotted revno.
2815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2817
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2818
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2819
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2821
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2822
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2823
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2825
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2826
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2827
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2829
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2830
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2831
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2832
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2834
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2835
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2836
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2838
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2839
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2844
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2845
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2846
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2847
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2849
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2850
have changed incompatibly.
2852
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2853
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2854
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2855
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2856
don't need to change.
2858
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2859
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2864
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2865
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2867
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2873
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2874
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2875
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2876
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2877
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2878
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2883
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2884
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2886
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2888
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2889
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2899
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2900
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2902
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2903
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2904
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2905
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2910
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2911
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2912
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2913
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2914
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2915
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2917
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2918
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2920
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2921
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2922
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2924
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2925
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2926
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2929
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2930
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2932
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2933
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2935
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2936
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2938
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2939
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2940
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2941
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2942
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2943
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2944
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2945
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2946
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2947
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2952
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2953
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2955
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2956
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2958
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2959
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2960
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2962
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2963
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2964
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2966
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2967
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2968
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2970
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2971
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2972
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2973
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2974
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2975
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2977
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2978
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2980
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2981
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2983
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2984
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2985
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2986
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2987
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2989
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2990
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2991
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2992
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2997
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3002
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3007
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3008
configuration of authetication credentials.
3014
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3015
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3016
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3017
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3018
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3023
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3024
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3029
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3030
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3033
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
3034
#####################
3039
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3040
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3041
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3042
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3043
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3045
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3046
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3048
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3049
server. (Marius Kruger)
3051
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3052
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3053
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3054
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3055
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3056
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3061
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3062
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3063
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3065
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3070
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3071
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3072
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3073
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3075
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3076
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3079
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3080
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3083
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3086
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3088
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3089
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3091
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3092
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3094
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3095
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3096
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3097
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3098
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3099
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3100
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3101
operations. (Robert Collins)
3103
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3105
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3106
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3107
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3112
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3113
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3114
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3116
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3117
repository now preserves the repository format.
3118
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3120
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3123
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3126
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3130
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3133
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3134
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3135
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3137
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3138
is in a different repository than the current one.
3139
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3141
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3142
(David Futcher, #242106)
3144
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3145
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3147
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3148
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3149
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3150
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3152
* Trivial documentation fix.
3153
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3155
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3156
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3157
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3158
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3163
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3168
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3169
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3170
to use. (Robert Collins)
3172
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3173
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3174
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3176
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3177
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3178
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3179
they want. (Robert Collins)
3184
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3185
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3186
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3188
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3189
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3192
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3195
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3196
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3198
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3204
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3205
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3207
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3208
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3209
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3211
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3212
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3213
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3215
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3216
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3218
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3219
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3221
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3222
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3224
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3225
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3226
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3227
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

3241
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3242
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3247
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3248
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3249
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3250
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
3257
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3258
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3259
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3260
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3261
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3262
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3267

#####################
3300
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3301
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3302
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3303
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3304

3305

3311
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3314
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3315
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3316
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3318
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3319
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3320
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3325
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3326
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3328
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3333
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3334
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3337
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3338
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3340
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3341
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3344
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3345
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3346
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3347
(John Arbash Meinel)
3349
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3350
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3352
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3353
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3354
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3355
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3356
(John Arbash Meinel)
3358
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3359
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3360
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3361
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3362
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3363
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3364
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3365
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3366
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3367
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3372
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3373
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3375
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3376
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3377
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3379
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3380
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3381
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3383
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3384
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3385
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3386
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3387
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3388
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3390
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3391
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3393
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3394
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3396
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3397
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3398
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3399
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3400
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3401
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3403
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3404
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3406
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3407
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3409
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3410
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3411
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3412
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3414
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3415
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3417
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3418
assuming the host name is ascii.
3419
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3421
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3422
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3427
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3432
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3434
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3435
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3436
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3439
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3440
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3442
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3443
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3445
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3446
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3451
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3452
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3453
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3454
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3456
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3460
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3461
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3462
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3464
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3470
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3471
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3474
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3475
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3476
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3477
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3478
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3480
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3481
is unknown in both source and target.
3482
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3484
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3485
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3486
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3487
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3489
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3490
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3491
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3492
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
3498
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3499
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3500
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3503
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3504
#######################
3509
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3510
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3511
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3512
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3515
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3516
#######################
3518
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3519
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3520
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3521
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3522
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3523
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3524
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3525
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3526
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3527
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3528
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3529
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3534
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3535
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3536
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3537
start of the string (causing more copies).
3538
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3539
especially for projects with large files.
3540
(John Arbash Meinel)
3542
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3543
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3544
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3545
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3546
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3548
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3549
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3550
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3551
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3552
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3553
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3559
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3560
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3561
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3562
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3563
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3564
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3565
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3566
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3567
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3570
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3571
#####################
3576
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3577
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3578
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3579
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3580
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3583
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3584
#####################
3589
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3590
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3591
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3594
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3595
#####################
3600
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3601
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3607
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3608
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3609
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3615
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3616
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3617
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3619
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3620
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3621
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3622
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3623
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3624
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3625
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3628
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3629
#####################
3631
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3637
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3638
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3640
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3641
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3644
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3645
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3646
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3647
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3648
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3650
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3651
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3653
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3654
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3656
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3657
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3659
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3660
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3661
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3662
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3663
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3664
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3667
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3668
#####################
3670
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3671
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3672
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3673
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3674
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3679
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3680
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3681
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3686
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3687
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3689
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3690
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3692
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3693
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3694
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3696
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3699
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3700
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3701
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3702
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3703
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3704
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3705
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3707
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3708
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3709
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3714
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3715
physical repository boundaries.
3716
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3718
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3719
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3721
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3722
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3725
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3728
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3729
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3730
that Python is running from.
3731
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3733
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3734
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3735
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3737
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3738
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3740
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3741
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3742
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3744
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3745
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3747
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3748
(James Westby, #248448)
3753
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3754
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3755
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3758
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3759
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3762
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3763
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3764
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3765
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3766
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3767
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3770
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3771
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3773
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3774
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3775
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3776
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3777
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3778
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3783
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3784
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3785
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3786
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3787
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3788
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3790
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3791
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3792
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3794
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3797
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3798
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3800
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3807
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3808
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3809
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3810
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3816
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3817
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3818
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3820
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3821
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3822
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3823
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3824
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3827
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3829
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3830
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3831
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3837
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3838
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3841
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3842
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3843
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3844
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3846
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3847
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3848
(Christophe Troestler)
3850
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3851
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3853
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3854
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3855
faster. The new request method name is
3856
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3861
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3862
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3863
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3864
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3865
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3867
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3868
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3870
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3871
requires a branch to be present.
3872
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3874
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3876
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3878
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3879
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3880
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3881
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3883
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3884
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3886
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3888
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3890
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3891
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3892
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3893
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3894
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3896
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3897
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3899
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3900
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3902
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3904
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3906
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3907
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3909
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3910
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3915
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3918
* Updated developer documentation.
3924
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3925
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3927
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3928
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3929
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3930
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3935
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3936
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3937
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3938
Repository docstring for more details.
3941
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3942
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3943
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3945
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3946
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3949
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3950
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3951
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3952
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3957
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3958
(Alexander Belchenko)
3960
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3961
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3962
containing a given location.
3965
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3966
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3967
storage. (Robert Collins)
3969
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3972
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3973
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4001
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4002
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4004

* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4012
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4013
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4014
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4019
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4021
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4022
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4023
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4026
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4027
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4032
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4037
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4038
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4043
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4044
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4045
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4046
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4047
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4049
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4050
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4055
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4056
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4058
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4059
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

#######################
4065
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4066
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4067
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4068
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4069
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4070
and future extensions.
4073
Notes When Upgrading
4074
********************
4076
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4077
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4078
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4079
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4080
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4081
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4082
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4083
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4088
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4089
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4090
(John Arbash Meinel)
4095
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4096
load. (James Westby)
4101
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4102
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4103
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4104
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4106
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4107
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4108
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4110
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4111
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4113
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4114
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4115
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4117
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4118
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4119
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4120
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4121
step closer to not using full revision history.
4122
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4127
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4128
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4130
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4131
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4133
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4134
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4136
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4137
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4138
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4139
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4141
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4142
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4143
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4144
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4146
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4147
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4148
in use by another process.
4151
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4152
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4153
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4154
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4156
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4157
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4159
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4160
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4163
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4164
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4167
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4171
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4172
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4174
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4175
under vim on Mac OS X.
4176
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4178
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4179
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4184
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4185
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4187
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4188
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4191
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4192
and about use of Python reprs.
4193
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4195
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4200
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4203
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4204
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4206
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4207
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4212
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4213
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4214
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4215
(John Arbash Meinel)
4220
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4221
instead. (Martin Pool)
4223
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4224
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4225
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4226
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4228
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4229
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4230
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4231
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4232
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4234
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4235
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4236
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4237
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4238
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4239
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4241
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4242
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4245
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4246
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4249
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4250
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4251
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4252
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4254
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4255
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4256
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4258
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4259
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4260
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4261
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4262
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4265
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4266
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4267
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4268
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4271
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4272
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4273
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4274
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4275
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4277
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4284
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4285
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4286
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4291
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4292
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4293
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4298
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4299
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

#####################
4309
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4310
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4311
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4312
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4317
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4318
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4320
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4321
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4323
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4329
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4332
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4333
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4335
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4336
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4337
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4339
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4340
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4341
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4343
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4346
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4349
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4350
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4352
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4353
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4355
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4356
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4358
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4359
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4360
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4362
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4363
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4365
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4366
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4368
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4369
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4370
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4371
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4373
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4374
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4377
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4378
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4379
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4381
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4382
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4383
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4384
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4385
every revision each side had in common.
4386
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4388
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4389
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4391
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4392
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4393
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4394
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4399
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4400
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4401
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4402
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4404
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4406
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4408
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4414
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4415
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4416
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4418
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4419
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4420
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4421
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4423
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4424
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4426
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4427
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4428
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4429
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4431
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4432
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4433
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4434
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4439
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4440
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4441
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4443
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4445
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4446
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4448
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4449
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4451
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4452
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4457
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4458
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4459
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4461
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4462
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4463
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4466
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4467
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4470
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
4477
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4478
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4479
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4480
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4481
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4482
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4483
and faster performance.
4488
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4489
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4490
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4531
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4533
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4534
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4535
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4536
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4537
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4538
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4541

4543
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.

* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)

4552
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large

4567
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4568
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4569
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4571
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4572

* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4575
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4576
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,

4590
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4592
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4593
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4595
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4596
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4597
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4599
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4600
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4601
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4602
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4603
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4605
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4606
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4608
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4609
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4614
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4615
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4616
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4617
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4618
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4619
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4621
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4622
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4624
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4625
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4626
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4628
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4629
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4631
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4632
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4633
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4634
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4636
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4637
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4638
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4639
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4640
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4642
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4644
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4645
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4647
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4649
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4650
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4652
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4653
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4658
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4660
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4662
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4664
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4669
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4670
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4671
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4673
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4674
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4675
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4676
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4678
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4679
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4680
release. (James Westby)
4682
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4685
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4687
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4688
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4690
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4691
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4693
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4694
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4696
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4697
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4698
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4700
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4701
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4702
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4703
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4705
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4706
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4707
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4708
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4710
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4711
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4712
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4713
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4714
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4715
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4717
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4718
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4719
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4721
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4722
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4724
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4725
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4728
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4729
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4731
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4732
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4734
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4735
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4737
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4738
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4739
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4741
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4742
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4743
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4744
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4745
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4746
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4751
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4752
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4753
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4754
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4756
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4757
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4758
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4759
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4763
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4764
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4767
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4768
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4770
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4772
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4773
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4774
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4779
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4781
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4784
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4785
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4786
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4787
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4788
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4789
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4791
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4792
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4794
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4795
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4796
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4797
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4799
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4800
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4802
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4803
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4845
********************
4847
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4848
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4853
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4854
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4855
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4856
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4859
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4860
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4861
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4862
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4863
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4864
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4866
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4867
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4868
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4869
(Alexander Belchenko)
4871
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4873
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4874
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4879
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4880
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4882
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4883
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4889
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4891
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4893
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4894
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4895
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4897
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4898
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4900
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4901
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4903
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4904
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4905
(Alexander Belchenko)
4907
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4908
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4909
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4910
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4912
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4915
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4916
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4917
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4918
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4919
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4924
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4925
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4926
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4927
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4929
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4930
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4932
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4933
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4935
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4936
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4937
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4939
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4940
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4942
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4945
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4946
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4948
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4950
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4952
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4953
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4955
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4956
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4958
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4959
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4961
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4962
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4964
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4965
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4967
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4968
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4973
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4974
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4979
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4980
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4981
(Alexander Belchenko)
4986
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4988
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4989
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4995
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4996
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4997
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4999
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5000
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5001
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5002
(Alexander Belchenko)
5004
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5005
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5006
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5007
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5009
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5010
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5011
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5014
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5015
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5016
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5018
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5019
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5020
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5022
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5023
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5024
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5025
format. (Robert Collins)
5034
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

5040
Notes When Upgrading
5041
********************
5043
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5044
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5045
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5046
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5047
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5053
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5054
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5056
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5057
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5058
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5060
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5061
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5062
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5063
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5064
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5065
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5071
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5072
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5074
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5075
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5076
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5079
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5080
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5081
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5082
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5083
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5085
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5086
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5087
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5088
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5089
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5090
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5091
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5092
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5097
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5098
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5100
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5101
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5103
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5104
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5106
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5107
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5108
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5110
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5111
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5112
(John Arbash Meinel)
5117
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5118
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5120
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5121
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5123
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5124
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5126
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5127
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5128
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5130
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5131
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5132
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5134
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5135
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5137
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5138
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5139
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5140
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5141
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5143
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5145
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5146
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5149
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5150
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5152
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5153
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5155
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
5158
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5159
more characters which should be considered valid.
5160
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5162
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5163
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5165
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5166
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5171
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5172
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5174
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5175
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5181
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5182
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5188
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5189
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5190
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5192
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5193
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5194
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5196
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5197
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5198
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5199
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5201
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5203
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5204
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5205
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5206
server. (Robert Collins)
5208
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5209
operate. (Robert Collins)
5211
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5212
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5213
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5215
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5216
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5217
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5218
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5220
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5221
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5223
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5224
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5225
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5227
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5228
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5230
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5231
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5233
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5234
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5235
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5236
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

5250
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5251
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5252
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5253
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5255
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5256
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5257
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5258
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5263
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5266
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5269
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5270
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5275
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5278
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5279

5280
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5282
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5284
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5285
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5286
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5287
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5288
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5290
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5291
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5292
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5294
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5295
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5297
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.

* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5304
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5307

5308
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5313
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.

5322
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5323
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5325
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5326
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
5328
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5329
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5331
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5332
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5334
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5335
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5336
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5338
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5341
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5342
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5345
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5347
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5348
user:pass embedded in the urls.

* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5361
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5363
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5366
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5367
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5370
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5371
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5377
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5380
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5381
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5382
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5383
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5384
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5385
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)

* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5400
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5401
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5402
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5405
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5406
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5408
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5417
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5418
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5419
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5421
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5422
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5425
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5426
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)

* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5429
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)

regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5438
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5439
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5441
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5442
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5444
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5445
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.

* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5449
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)

5545
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the

Notes When Upgrading
5594
********************
5596
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5597
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5598
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5599
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5601
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5602
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5604
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5605
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5607
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5608
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5609
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5610
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5611
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5612
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5613
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5614
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5615
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5616
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5617
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5618
from any tree without problems.
5619
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5624
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5625
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5626
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5628
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5629
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5635
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5636
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5637
supported transports.
5640
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5641
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5642
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5644
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5645
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5647
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5648
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5649
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5650
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5652
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5653
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5658
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5659
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5660
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5661
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5663
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5664
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5665
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5666
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5668
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5669
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5671
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5672
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5674
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5675
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5677
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5678
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5684
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5687
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5688
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5691
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5692
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5693
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5694
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5696
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5697
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5698
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5699
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5707
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5708
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5710
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5711
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5713
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5714
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)

* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5719
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5731
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5732
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5734
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5735
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.

* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5742
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)

5750
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between

5752
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5753
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend

5757
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5758
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.

5761
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.

(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5802
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5803
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5805
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5806
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5807
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5809
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5810
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5812
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5813
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5814
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5815
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5817
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5818
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5820
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5821
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5822
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5824
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5825
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5827
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5830
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5836
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5837
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5839
* The return value of
5840
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5841
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5842
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5843
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5845
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5848
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5849
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5856
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5857
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5858
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5861
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5862
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5864
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5873
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)

######################
5882
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5883
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5885
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5886
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5887
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5888
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5889
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5890
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5891
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5892
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5893
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5894
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5895
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5896
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5902
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5903
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5904
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5905
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5906
commands. (Robert Collins)
5908
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5909
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5910
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5913
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5915
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5916
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5918
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5919
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5922
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5923
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5924
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5929
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5930
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5932
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5933
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5935
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5936
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5937
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5938
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5940
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5943
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5944
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5945
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5946
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5948
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5949
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5951
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5952
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5954
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5955
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5957
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5958
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5963
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5964
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5966
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5967
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5969
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5970
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5972
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5973
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5975
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5976
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5981
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5983
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5989
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5990
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5991
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5993
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5994
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5996
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5997
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5999
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6000
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6001
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6002
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6004
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6005
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6006
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6007
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6008
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6010
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6011
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6015
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6017
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6018
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6020
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6023
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6026
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6027
contains a symbolic link.
6028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6030
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6031
(James Westby, #140615)
6033
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6034
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6037
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6038
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6039
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6041
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6043
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6046
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6050
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6051
directory to detect leaking tests.
6052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6054
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6055
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6056
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6058
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6061
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6062
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6064
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6070
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6071
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6073
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6074
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6075
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6077
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6078
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6079
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6081
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6082
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6084
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6085
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6087
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6088
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6091
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6092
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6094
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6095
class that needs it.
6098
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6099
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6101
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6102
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6103
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6105
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6106
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6107
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6110
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6111
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6112
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6113
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6119
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6120
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6121
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6123
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6124
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6125
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6126
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6128
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6129
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6132
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6133
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6134
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6136
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6137
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6138
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6140
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6141
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6143
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6144
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6145
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6147
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6148
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6150
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6151
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6152
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6154
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6155
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6156
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6158
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6159
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6160
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6161
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6163
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6164
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6165
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6166
returned. (Robert Collins)
6168
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6169
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6171
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6172
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6173
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6174
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6177
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6178
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6183
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6184
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6186
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6187
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6188
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6189
makes this behavior available to other users.
6192
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6193
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6202
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6203
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6204
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6206
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6208
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6209
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6210
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6211
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6213
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6214
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6218
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
6219
######################
6221
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6222
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6225
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
6226
######################
6231
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6232
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6233
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6234
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6237
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6238
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6239
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6245
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6246
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6247
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6250
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6251
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6252
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6254
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6255
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6256
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6258
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6259
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6261
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6262
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6263
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6264
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6265
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6266
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6267
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6268
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6269
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6270
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6272
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6273
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6275
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6276
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6277
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6282
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6283
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6285
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6286
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6287
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6289
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6290
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6292
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6293
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6295
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6298
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6299
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6301
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6302
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6304
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6305
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6307
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6308
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6310
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6312
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6315
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6316
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6317
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6318
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6320
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6322
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6323
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6326
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6327
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6329
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6330
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6333
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6334
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6336
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6337
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6339
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6340
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6341
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6342
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6343
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6344
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.

(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6347
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6348
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6350
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6351
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6353
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6354
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6356
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6357

6359
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple

* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6364
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6366
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6367
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6368
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)

* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6378
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6380
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6383
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6386
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6387
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6389
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6391
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6392
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6394
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6395
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6397
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6398
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6399
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6400
space). (Robert Collins)
6402
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6403
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6406
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6407
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6409
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6410
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6412
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6413
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6414
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6415
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6417
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6418
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6419
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6422
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6425
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6426
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6427
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6429
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6430
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6431
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6432
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6433
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6438
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6439
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6441
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6442
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6443
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6444
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6445
affected. (Robert Collins)
6447
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6448
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6449
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6452
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6453
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6458
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6459
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6461
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6462
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6464
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6465
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6467
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6470
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6471
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6476
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6477
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6478
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6479
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6481
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6482
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6484
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6485
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6486
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6487
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6489
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6490
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6491
present. (Robert Collins)
6493
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6494
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6495
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6496
API. (Robert Collins)
6498
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6499
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6502
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6503
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6505
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6506
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6507
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6508
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6509
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6510
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6512
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6513
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6514
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6516
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6517
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6518
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6519
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6522
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6525
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6526
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6527
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6528
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6529
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6530
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6531
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6533
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6534
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6535
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6536
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6538
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6539
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6540
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6541
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6542
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6543
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6545
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6546
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6547
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6549
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6550
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6559
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6560
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6561
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6562
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6563
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6564
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6565
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6566
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6572
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6573
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6574
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6577

6583
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6584
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6585
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6586
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

6589
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).

(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6592
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6596
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6597
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6600
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6601
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6604
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6607
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6608
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6610
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6611
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6613
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6614
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6616
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6617
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6619
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6620
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6622
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6628
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6629
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6631
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6632
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6634
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6635
the repository (Robert Collins)
6637
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6638
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6639
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6640
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6641
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6643
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6644
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6646
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6647
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6648
(John Arbash Meinel)
6650
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6651
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6652
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6654
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6655
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6656
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6657
(John Arbash Meinel)
6659
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6660
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6663
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6664
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6666
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6669
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6671
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6673
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6674
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6676
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6677
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6680
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6681
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6682
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6683
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6685
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6686
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6687
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6689
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6690
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6691
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6693
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6694
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6696
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6697
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6698
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6699
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6700
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6701
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6704
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6705
(Alexander Belchenko)
6707
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6708
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6710
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6711
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6713
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6715
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6716
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6721
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6722
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6723
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6724
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6726
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6728
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6731
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6732
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6733
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6734
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6735
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6736
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6741
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6742
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6743
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6744
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6746
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6747
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6748
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6749
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6750
tests have been refactored too.
6753
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6754
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6755
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6759
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6760
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6761
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6763
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6764
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6765
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6766
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6767
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6768
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6769
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6771
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6772
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6773
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6774
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6775
(John Arbash Meinel)
6777
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6778
functionality for testing.
6780
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6782
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6783
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6785
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6787
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6790
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6791
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6793
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6794
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6795
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6797
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6800
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6801
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6803
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6804
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6805
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6806
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6808
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6809
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6811
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6812
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6813
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6815
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6818
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6819
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6820
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6821
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6822
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6823
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6825
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6826
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6827
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6828
many files. (Robert Collins)
6830
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6831
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6832
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6833
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6838
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6839
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6840
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6842
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6843
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6845
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6846
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6847
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

6939
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6940
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6942
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6943
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
6945
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6946
can be slow it is useful feedback).
6947
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
6949
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
6950
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
6952
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
6954
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
6955
output. (Aaron Bentley)
6957
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
6958
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
6961
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
6964
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
6965
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
6967
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
6968
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
6970
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
6971
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
6973
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
6975
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
6976
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
6978
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
6984
* Testing cleanups -
6985
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6986
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
6987
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6988
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
6989
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6990
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
6991
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6992
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
6993
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6994
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
6995
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
6996
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
6997
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6998
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
6999
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7000
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7001
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7004
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7006
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7007
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7008
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7010
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7011
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7013
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7014
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7016
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7018
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7019
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7020
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7021
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7022
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7023
same location. (Robert Collins)
7028
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7030
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7032
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7034
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7037
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7040
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7041
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7042
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7044
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7046
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7047
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7048
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7050
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7051
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7053
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7054
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7055
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7057
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7058
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7059
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7061
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7062
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7063
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7065
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7066
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7069
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7070
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7072
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7073
(Alexander Belchenko)
7078
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7079
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7080
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7081
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7083
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7084
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7085
testing. (Robert Collins)
7087
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7088
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7090
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7091
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7092
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7093
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7094
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7095
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7096
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7098
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7099
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7100
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7101
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7103
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7104
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7106
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7107
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7128
********************
7130
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7131
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7132
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7133
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7134
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7135
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7136
and unlock() like so::
7138
work_tree.lock_read()
7140
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7146
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7147
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7149
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7150
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7151
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7153
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7154
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7155
too. (Robert Collins)
7160
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7161
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7164
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7165
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7167
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7168
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7170
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7171
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7172
understanding what changes have occurred
7173
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7175
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7176
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7177
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7179
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7180
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7181
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7182
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7184
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7190
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7191
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7192
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7193
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7194
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7196
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7197
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7198
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7200
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7203
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7207
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7208
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7210
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7211
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7213
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7214
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7216
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7217
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7219
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7220
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7222
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7223
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7224
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7227
####################
7232
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7233
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7234
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7235
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7236
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7238
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7239
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7240
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7242
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7243
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7248
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7249
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7250
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7252
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7253
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7254
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7255
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7257
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
7258
#######################
7263
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7264
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7265
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7266
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7268
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7269
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7270
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7272
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7273
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7275
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7276
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7278
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7279
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

7284
Notes When Upgrading
7285
********************
7287
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7288
it could be recovered again.
7289
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7290
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7291
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7293
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7295
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7296
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7301
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7302
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7304
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7305
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7306
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7307
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7309
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7310
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7312
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7313
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7314
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7316
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7317
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7318
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7320
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7321
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7322
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7324
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7325
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7328
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7331
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7332
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7333
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7334
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7336
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7339
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7340
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7341
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7344
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7345
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7347
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7348
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7350
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7351
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7352
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7353
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7356
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7357
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7359
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7360
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7362
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7363
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7364
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7366
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7367
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7368
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7370
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7371
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7372
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7374
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7375
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7376
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7377
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7379
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7380
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7381
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7382
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7384
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7385
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7386
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7387
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7388
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7389
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7390
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7391
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7398
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7399
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7401
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7402
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7403
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7404
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7405
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7407
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7408
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7410
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7411
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7413
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7414
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7416
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7417
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7419
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7420
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7421
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7424
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7425
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7426
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7427
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7428
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7431
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7432
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7433
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7435
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7436
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7439
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7440
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7441
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7444
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7445
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7446
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7447
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7448
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7450
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7451
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7452
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7453
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7455
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7456
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7458
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7459
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7460
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7461
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7462
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7463
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7465
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7466
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7468
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7469
help. (Robert Collins)
7471
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7472
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7474
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7475
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7476
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7477
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7478
(John Arbash Meinel)
7480
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7481
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7482
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7483
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7484
useful. (Robert Collins)
7486
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7492
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7493
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7495
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7496
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7498
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7499
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7500
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7502
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7505
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7506
the file, and does it faster.
7507
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7509
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7510
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7511
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7513
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7514
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7515
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7516
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7518
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7519
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7520
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7521
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7523
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7524
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7526
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7527
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7528
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7529
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7532
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7534
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7535
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7537
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7538
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7540
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7541
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7542
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7543
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7547
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7553
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7554
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7555
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7557
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7558
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7560
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7561
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7562
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7563
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7564
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7565
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7566
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7567
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7569
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7570
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7571
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7573
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7574
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7575
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7576
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7577
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7579
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7581
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7582
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7583
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7585
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7586
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7595
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7598
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7599
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7602
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7603
#######################
7608
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7609
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7615
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7616
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7617
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7618
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7619
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7620
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7621
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7622
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7628
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7629
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7630
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7632
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7633
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7636
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7637
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7638
(John Arbash Meinel)
7640
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7641
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7642
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7643
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7644
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7649
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7652
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7653
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7655
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7656
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7658
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7659
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7660
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7662
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7663
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7665
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7666
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7667
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7668
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7669
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7671
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7672
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7673
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7675
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

#######################
7681
Notes When Upgrading
7682
********************
7684
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7685
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7686
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7691
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7692
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7694
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7695
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7697
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7699
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7700
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7702
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7703
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7708
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7714
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7715
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7716
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7717
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7719
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7720
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7722
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7723
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7725
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7728
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7729
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7732
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7733
#######################
7738
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7739
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7740
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7741
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7742
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7743
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7745
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7746
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7747
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7748
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7749
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7750
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7752
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7754
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7755
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7756
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7757
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7758
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7759
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7760
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7761
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7766
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7767
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7769
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7770
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7771
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7772
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7774
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7775
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7776
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7777
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7778
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7780
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7783
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7786
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7789
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7790
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7793
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7796
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7797
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7799
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7800
directory. (Martin Pool)
7802
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7803
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7804
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7805
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7807
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7808
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7809
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7810
in docs/configuration.txt.
7812
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7813
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7816
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7817
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7818
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7819
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7820
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7821
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7823
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7824
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7826
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7827
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7829
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7835
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7836
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7837
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7838
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7839
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7840
(John Arbash Meinel)
7842
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7843
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7846
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7847
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7848
(John Arbash Meinel)
7850
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7851
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7852
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7853
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7854
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7855
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7857
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7858
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7859
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7861
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7862
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7863
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7864
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7866
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7868
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7869
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7870
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7871
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7873
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7874
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7875
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7876
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7878
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7879
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7880
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7882
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7883
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7884
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7886
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7887
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7888
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7889
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7891
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7892
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7893
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7895
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7896
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7897
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7899
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7900
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7901
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7902
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7903
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7904
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7905
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7906
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7907
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7908
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7909
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7914
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7915
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7916
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7918
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7921
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7922
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7923
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7924
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7926
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7927
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7930
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7931
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7933
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7935
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7936
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7937
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7939
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7940
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7942
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7945
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7946
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
7948
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
7949
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
7951
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
7953
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
7954
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
7959
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
7960
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
7964
####################
7969
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
7974
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
7975
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
7976
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
7978
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
7979
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
7980
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
7983
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
7984
#######################
7989
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7990
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7991
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7992
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7994
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7997
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7998
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7999
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8001
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8002
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8004
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8007
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8008
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8009
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8010
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8011
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8012
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8014
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8015
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8016
should enable you to do::
8018
[/home/user/project]
8019
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8020
push_location:policy = appendpath
8022
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8023
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8026
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8027
for each file. For example::
8029
$ bzr status --short
8035
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8036
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8038
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8040
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8041
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8043
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8048
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8049
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8050
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8051
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8053
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8054
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8055
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)

* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8059
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8060
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8061
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8062
(Alexander Belchenko)

* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8067
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8068
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8070
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8075
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8076
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8078
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8079
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8080
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8081
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8082
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8084
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8085
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8087
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8088
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8090
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8092
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8094
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8095
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8096
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8097
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8098
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8100
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8101
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8102
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8103
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8105
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8106
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)

* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8109
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8132
(Daniel Silverstone)
8134
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8135
operations are substantially faster.
8136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8138
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8139
tree from some other url. For example:
8140
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8141
(Daniel Silverstone)
8143
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8144
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8145
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8146
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8148
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8151
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8152
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8153
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8154
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8155
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8156
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8161
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8162
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8165
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8166
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8167
(John Arbash Meinel)
8169
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8170
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8171
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8172
(John Arbash Meinel)
8174
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8175
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8177
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8178
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8180
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8181
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8187
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8188
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8189
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8191
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8192
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8193
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8194
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8196
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8198
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8199
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8201
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8202
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8203
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8204
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8206
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8207
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8208
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8210
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8211
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8212
them as full references rather than integers.
8213
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8215
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8216
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8218
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8220
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8221
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8223
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8224
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8226
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8227
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8228
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8229
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8231
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8232
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8233
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8235
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8236
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8238
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8239
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8240
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8241
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
8242
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
8247
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
8248
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
8266
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8267
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8268
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8269
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8271
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8272
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8274
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8276
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8277
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8278
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8279
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8281
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8282
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8283
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8284
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8285
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8290
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8291
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8296
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8297
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8298
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8300
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8301
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8302
(John Arbash Meinel)
8304
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8305
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8306
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8308
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8309
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8312
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8313
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8314
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8316
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8317
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8318
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8319
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8320
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8321
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8323
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8324
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8325
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8328
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8329
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8334
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8335
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
8336
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8339
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8340
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8342
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8343
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8344
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8346
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8347
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8349
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8350
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8351
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8352
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8354
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8355
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8357
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8358
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8359
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
8361
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8362
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8364
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8366
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8367
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
8373
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
8374
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8375
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8376
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8378
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8379
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8380
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

8404
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8405
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8406
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8407
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8408
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8409
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8410
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8412
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8413
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8414
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8416
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8418
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8419
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8421
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8422
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8423
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8426
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8427
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8428
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8429
(John Arbash Meinel)
8431
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8432
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8433
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8434
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8437
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8438
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8439
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8440
(John Arbash Meinel)
8445
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8446
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8448
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8450
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8451
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8452
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8454
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8455
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)

* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8458

8463
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8464
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8466
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8468
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8469
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8471
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8472
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8474
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8475
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8477
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8478
(John Arbash Meinel)
8480
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8481
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8482
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8484
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8485
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8487
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8488
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8489
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8490
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8492
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8493
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8494
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8496
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8497
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8502
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8507
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8508
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8509
(John Arbash Meinel)
8511
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8512
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8513
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8514
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8516
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8519
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8520
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8521
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8523
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8524
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8526
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8527
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8528
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8530
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8531
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8532
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8533
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8534
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8535
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8536
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8537
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8538
caller to repeat their request.
8539
(John Arbash Meinel)
8541
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8542
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8544
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8545
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8547
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8548
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8549
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8550
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8551
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8552
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8553
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8555
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8556
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8557
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8558
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8559
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8560
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8561
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8562
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8565
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8566
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8567
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8569
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8570
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8572
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8573
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8575
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8576
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8581
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8582
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8584
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8585
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8586
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8588
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8589
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8590
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

8601
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8602
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8603
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8604
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8606
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8607
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8608
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8610
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8611
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8613
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8614
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8615
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8620
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8622
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8623
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8624
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8626
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8628
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8630
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8631
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8632
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8633
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8635
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8636
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8637
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8638
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8639
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8641
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8642
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8644
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8645
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8647
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8648
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8650
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8651
in handling of revision properties.
8652
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8654
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8655
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8660
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8661
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8662
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8663
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8664
(John Arbash Meinel)
8666
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8667
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8668
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8670

8671
#####################
8676
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8677
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8678
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8679
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8680
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8681
a more conservative list than the old default.
8682
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8683
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8684
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8685
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8687
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8688
to more locations than just branch locations.
8694
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8695
revno:N:branch. For example,
8696
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8697
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8699
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8700
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8701
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8702
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8703
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8704
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8705
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8706
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8709
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8710
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8711
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8714
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8715
(Alexander Belchenko)
8717
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8719
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8722
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8723
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8724
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8725
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8726
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8727
(John Arbash Meinel)
8729
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8730
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8731
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8732
grained analysis of performance.
8733
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8735
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8736
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8738
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8739
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8740
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8741
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8742
file. (Robert Collins).
8744
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8745
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8746
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8748
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8749
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8752
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8753
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8755
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8756
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8757
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8758
the same way you would apply another branch.
8759
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8761
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8762
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8764
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8767
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8770
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8771
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8772
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8774
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8775
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8776
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8778
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8779
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8781
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8782
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8783
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8784
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8785
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8787
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8788
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8790
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8791
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8792
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8793
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8794
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8795
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8796
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8797
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8799
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8800
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8801
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8806
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8808
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8810
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8811
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8813
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8814
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8816
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8817
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8819
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8821
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8822
(John Arbash Meinel)
8824
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8825
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8827
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8828
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8831
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8832
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8834
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8835
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8837
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8838
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8839
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8840
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8842
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8843
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8845
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8847
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8848
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8850
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8852
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8854
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8855
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8857
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8858
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8860
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8861
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8862
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8864
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8865
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8866
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8868
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8869
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8871
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8872
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8874
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8875
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8877
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8878
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8880
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8881
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8883
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8884
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8885
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8887
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8889
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8890
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8895
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8896
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8897
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8899
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8900
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8902
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8903
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8904
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8906
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8907
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8909
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8910
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8913
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8914
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8915
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8917
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8918
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8919
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8921
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8922
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8923
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8925
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8926
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8927
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8929
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8930
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8931
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8933
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8934
instead. (Robert Collins)
8936
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7
the path of a file that has been versioned.

Notes When Upgrading
9004
********************
9006
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9007
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9008
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9009
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9010
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9011
will keep the same format.
9013
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9014
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9015
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9016
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9017
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9019
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9020
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9021
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9022
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9023
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9024
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9025
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9027
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9028
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9029
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9030
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9031
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9033
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9034
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9035
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory

211
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9047

sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9049
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9050
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9052
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9053
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9054
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9056
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9057
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9058
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9059
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9061
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9062
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9063
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9065
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9067
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9069
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9070
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9073
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9074
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9077
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9079
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9080
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9081
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9084
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9086
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9088
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9091
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9092
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9094
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9095
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9098
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9099
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9102
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9104
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9106
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9107
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9109
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9110
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9111
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9112
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9113
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9114
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9116
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9118
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9119
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9122
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9123
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9125
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9126
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9128
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9130
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9131
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9132
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9133
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9134
specification by Martin Pool.
9135
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9137
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9140
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9141
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9143
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9144
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9145
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9147
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9149
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9150
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9156
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9157
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9159
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9161
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9163
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9166
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9167
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9168
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9169
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9174
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9175
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9176
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9177
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9179
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9180
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9181
tried. (Martin Pool)
9183
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9186
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9188
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9189
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9190
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9192
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9193
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9195
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9196
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9197
paths. (Robert Collins)
9199
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9200
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9201
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9203
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9204
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9205
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9207
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9208
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9209
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9211
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9214
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9217
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9219
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9221
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9222
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9223
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9226
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9227
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9229
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9230
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9231
check. (Robert Collins)
9233
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9234
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9239
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9240
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9242
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9243
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9244
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9245
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9247
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9248
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9249
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9250
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9251
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9253
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9254
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9255
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9257
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9259
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9260
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
215
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
216
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)

internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9271
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9272
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9273
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9276
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9277
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9279
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9280
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9281
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``

(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9283
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)

9290
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9293
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9294
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9295
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9297
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9300
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9301
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9306
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9307
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9309
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9311
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9313
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9314
tree. (Robert Collins)

* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9317
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9318
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9321
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9324
* Tweaks to short log printing
9326
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9329
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9330
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9332
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9333
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9335
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9336
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9338
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9339
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9340
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9342
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9343
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9345
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9346
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9349
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9350
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9352
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9353
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9355
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9356
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9358
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9361
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9362
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9364
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9365
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9367
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9368
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9369
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9374
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9376
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9378
* Error when run with -OO
9380
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9383
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9385
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9387
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9388
ignored by diff and status
9390
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9391
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9393
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9395
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9397
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9398
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9400
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9401
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9403
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9406
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9407
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9409
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9411
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9412
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9414
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9417
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9418
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9420
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9425
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9426
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9428
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9430
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9432
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9434
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9435
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9436
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9438
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9440
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9441
(John Arbash Meinel)
9443
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9445
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9446
If adding a new test script please add that to
9447
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9449
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9450
imported. (Martin Pool)
9452
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9453
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9454
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9455
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9456
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9459
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9460
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9461
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9463
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9464
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9465
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9467
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9468
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9469
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9470
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9471
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9474
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9475
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9481
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9482
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9484
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9485
function. (Robert Collins)
9487
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9488
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9489
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9491
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9492
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9495
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9496
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9497
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9498
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9499
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9500
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9501
version. (Robert Collins)
9503
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9504
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9506
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9507
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9508
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9509
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9510
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9511
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9513
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9516
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
428
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
429
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
431
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
432
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
433
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
436
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
437
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
439
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
440
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
441
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
442
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
445
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
446
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
447
used. (Robert Collins)
449
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
450
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
453
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
454
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
455
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
457
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
460
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
461
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
465
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
466
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
468
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
470
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
472
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
473
tree. (Robert Collins)
475
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
476
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
477
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
480
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
483
* Tweaks to short log printing

9530
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9533
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9534
query method. (Robert Collins)
9536
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9539
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9542
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9545
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9546
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9547
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9548
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9550
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9551
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9552
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9553
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9555

9556
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
9564
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9567
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9571
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9572
a separator, not ':'.
9575
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9576
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9577
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9579
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9580
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9583
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9584
has been added that suppresses all output.
9586
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9589
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9590
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9592
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9593
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9595
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9596
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9598
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9599
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9600
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9601
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9603
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9605
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9606
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9608
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9609
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9611
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9612
output directory, if one was supplied.
9614
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9615
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9616
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9617
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9619
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9621
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9622
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9624
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9625
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9626
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9628
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9629
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9631
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9634
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9636
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9641
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9642
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9643
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9645
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9646
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9647
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9649
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9650
is given. (Martin Pool)
9652
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9653
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9654
file. (Robert Collins)
9656
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9662
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9663
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9664
representation. (Martin Pool).
9666
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9667
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9668
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9670

Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9679
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9680
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9681
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9683
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9684
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9685
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9686
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9687
python path. (Robert Collins)
9689
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9690
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9691
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9692
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9694
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9695
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9697
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9698
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9701
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9702
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9703
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9705
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9706
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9707
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9709
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9710
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9712
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9713
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9714
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9717
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9718
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9719
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9720
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9723
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9726
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9727
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9730
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9731
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9732
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9734
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9735
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9736
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9738
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9739
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9740
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9742
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9743
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9745
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9746
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9747
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9748
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9749
caller. (Robert Collins)
9751
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9752
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9755
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9756
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9759
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9761
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9762
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9767
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9768

9770
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9771

716
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
719
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
723
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
724
a separator, not ':'.
727
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
728
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
729
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
731
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
732
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
735
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
736
has been added that suppresses all output.
738
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
741
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
744
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
745
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
747
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
748
a revision. (Robert Collins)
750
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
751
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
752
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
753
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
755
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
757
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
758
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
760
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
761
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
763
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
764
output directory, if one was supplied.
766
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
767
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
768
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
769
parameters. (Robert Collins)
771
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
773
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
774
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
776
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
777
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
778
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
780
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
781
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
783
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
786
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
788
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
792
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
793
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
794
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
796
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
797
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
798
related questions. (Robert Collins)
800
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
801
is given. (Martin Pool)
803
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
804
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
805
file. (Robert Collins)
807
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
812
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
813
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
814
representation. (Martin Pool).
816
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
817
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
818
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
